So this is a topic that I am just really excited to chat about. Anytime that I go to an event in my industry or just an educational workshop or even in conversations with a lot of my colleagues, the idea of: "Introverts and networking: how do the two go together?" Is always a topic of conversation and it's always such an interesting thing to me. And I hope that today's conversation, if you're an introvert, or maybe you're just trying to understand your introverted friend a little bit more, gives you a little bit of insight, a little bit of inspiration, and some practical tips that get you excited about the idea of conversations, people, and building connections that are meaningful, deep, and inspiring.

What season of business are you in?

Welcome back to a new season of Brave Bound, friends!

We ran into an issue with the mic for this episode (aha), but there's nothing more we'd love than sharing how life's been these last few months and kicking off the next season by diving into the different seasons of business and some of the lessons we've walked through in the last couple of months in our hiatus.

There are 4 seasons of business. Take a listen to find out which you're in.

There's something so exciting about creating something that is your own and showing up in the world and realizing that there are people who are seeking you out and needing what only what you can give. They need who you are as a person. You can do it scared. The right people will find you, and we're here to cheer you on every step of the way.
 
Thank you for being here. Stay tuned for some wonderful conversations and things to come.
