## Resource

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of BNI, the world’s largest business networking organization. Dr. Misner shares why relationships still matter in the most technologically connected time in history, and why networking is a marathon, not a sprint. We talk about visibility, credibility, and profitability, why most people treat networking like face-to-face cold calling, and how asking better questions can create real referral opportunities. Dr. Misner also breaks down the power of one-to-one conversations, the importance of trust, and why your network can become a beacon of hope in a sea of fear.
