Today’s guest had no choice but to be my friend 😆

Here’s how it happened:

My friend Maruxa Murphy texted me and encouraged me to apply for The Maverick Next Impact Award.

Award winners would get to attend a trip where they spend a day on Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island.

I read the sales page.

On the sales page is this epic human.

The more I read about her, the more impressed I get…

- Speaks 7 languages

- Built a multimillion dollar network by age 22

- Leveraged her networking skills to open opportunities to do things like have lunch with Deepak Chopra, live with a $50 million mentor for a month, and dine with billionaires and royalty in the Palace of Versailles

I thought to myself:

“Who the heck is this human? I must reach out…”

Well, to make a long story short, Yasmina is now a DEAR friend.

Life has honestly been different with her in it, and I’m grateful to introduce her to you today.

In today’s episode, we dive into her story of going from a socially awkward teen…

… to pulling off some of the craziest connection magic I’ve ever heard of.

If you’re someone who values EXPONENTIAL relationships, and learning how to intentionally connect with people to shortcut years of trial and error, this episode is for YOU.
