On today's episode, I will be sharing 5 networking tips to prepare you for your next networking event as business owners and for all job seekers. These are not your ordinary networking tips, because these will take the focus off of us and put the focus on helping others. We will take the pressure off of networking and create a very simple plan to connect on a more meaningful level.
I'll also share my favorite app, Nashville burger place and so much more.
