The media world has changed. Everyone has a microphone. Maximize every opportunity to tell your story.
Damn Good Conversations mean people listen to you
Let’s get a few things straight:
A network is not your Twitter following.
Making DEEPER connections does not mean an awkward DM over LinkedIn
Growing your career does not mean you must have VC funding and move to Silicon Valley
Having a Damn Good podcast does not mean you have to be Tim Ferris
Connect deeper.
Grow your network.
Build your career.
Zoom calls.
Virtual conferences.
Yes, you’re still on mute.
This is not the new normal.
We’re making sure of it.
Imagine how different your career could be if you committed to connecting deeper with the people around you.
Instead of walking away from conversations wondering how that went, imagine what it will feel like knowing you knew just what to say.
Begin to see the power of asking the right question to the right person at the right time.
A Damn Good Conversation makes an impression.
It inspires action.
It makes your work stick.
Bio
On Saturday, July 1, 2017 I was scared.
Scared of launching a podcast.
Scared of paying a $7 dollars a month to host it.
Scared of what people would think.
Flat-out scared.
Four years later, I have recorded damn good conversations with over 200 of the world’s most fascinating people.
What changed?
I took action.
I listened to the right person.
I took the Impostor Syndrome out back, shot him, and buried him in the yard.
So can you.
I have helped leaders, business women, teachers, people like you, know just what to say when it matters most.
If you have ever felt the pull to do more.
If you have ever had to remove your foot from your mouth.
If you have ever seen the power of the right words, at the right time, to the right person.
Let’s have a Damn Good Conversation.
