Ep. 23 | Networking Without the Ick: How to Build Real Connections
Ever wonder why networking feels so... performative? That's because most people are doing it all wrong.
This week on Not All Business, we welcome Baily Hancock, connection strategist and founder of Overlap Collective. Baily explains why that "open to work" badge on LinkedIn might be repelling opportunities, why you should stop separating your personal and work lives, and how to walk into a networking event without wanting to immediately fake a bathroom emergency.
We also debut PIP for PUP — Heather's very public fitness journey rooted in presidential fitness test trauma (the childhood fitness assessment program that traumatized a generation).
Key Takeaways:
Why "People Are Portals"
The LinkedIn Mistake You're Making
How to Work a Room Without Feeling Gross
The One Question That Breaks the Ice Every Time
