Networker (with Emily Merrell)
They say that with age comes wisdom, and while I’m not sure if that’s true, I have definitely picked up on a few things over the course of my time on this Earth. One thing I’ve noticed is that many cliché sayings are far more than just cliché. They are as true as true can get. They are wisdom in a tiny, bite-sized morsel. A great example of this is, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”. Every one of us has benefitted in some way from knowing someone at some time in our lives. Maybe it was as small as getting a discount at a local business. Maybe it was as large as getting an interview for a job that ended up cascading into your lifelong career. Maybe it was someone introducing you to the love of your life. No amount of interview prep or reading ‘Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus’ could get you in front of the right people at the right time. This begs the question, why do we not focus more time on trying to get out there and meet more people? Why do we not build our networks to allow more of these wonderful things to happen in our lives? Today’s guest is a networking natural and decided to start a matchmaking/networking business. Emily helps people build their networks with likeminded, amazing people that just might be able to help move the needle in their lives.
