Summary
The fastest way to grow your influence is not better networking. It’s building real connections that build trust, open doors, and create opportunities you do not have to chase. In this week’s episode, I sit down with Barb Betts, keynote speaker and human connection expert, to talk about this and more. Barb did not start on big stages.

Barb also addresses people-pleasing, how to follow up without sounding awkward, and building meaningful relationships in life and business.
