A relationship that started in 2017 by a random golf pairing has led to business and friendship. We'd love for you to join us and learn how you can maximize your life, both professionally and personally. We'll be serious, and we'll slack off, but we promise to make whatever we talk about interesting. We've started families and businesses in our 20's and we're on a path and following a dream to create something bigger than we ever could imagine.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T22:18:18.144828+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-mgm-show-6790333"},"episode":{"title":"MGM #65 - Networking Happens Everywhere and Here's the Proof","slug":"mgm-65-networking-happens-everywhere-and-here-s-the-proof","published_at":"2026-03-28T16:45:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-mgm-show-6790333/mgm-65-networking-happens-everywhere-and-here-s-the-proof","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-mgm-show-6790333","url":"https://www.mgmcoach.com/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/065b8db6-0d54-46e6-83fb-35dda67db59e.mp3","summary":"Episode #65 - Networking Happens Everywhere and Here's the Proof Episode Highlight Carl is soaking up the Florida sun in Marco Island while Evan holds it down in Buffalo, and despite the remote setup and imperfect audio, this episode is packed. From a chance encounter with the CEO of the 3rd largest egg producer in the country (at a condo printer, of all places), to Evan hosting the inaugural event at the brand-new Williamsville Business Exchange, to real talk about why the best networking moments happen when you stop trying so hard. This one is a genuine, unscripted catch-up that hits on everything MGM is about. What You'll Learn in This Episode Networking without a script — Carl met a potential coaching client at a wedding and a Fortune-caliber CEO at a lobby printer. Neither was planned. Both were gold. The Williamsville Business Exchange (WBX) is open — Evan walks Carl and the listeners through the newly transformed WBX space and recaps the first-ever event: 30 attendees, College Confidence Coach presentations, and a night that exceeded expectations. How to become a Center of Influence — From poker invites to Sabres watch parties, Carl and Evan break down why showing up where you naturally thrive is the highest-leverage networking move you can make.

From a childhood friendship to speaking in Vegas and North Carolina — Carl traces the chain of relationships that landed MGM a spot at the AICPA National Symposium in Las Vegas AND the NCACPA 87th Annual Conference in North Carolina — all starting with one podcast guest.
