Crushing Debt

What are your best ideas for networking an event?

Do you go to events looking to buy or sell?

Do you give your card to everyone there - throwing them out like they were ninja throwing stars?

Do you have a goal, or do you go to networking events just to socialize?

The Largest Networking Event in Tampa Bay is Friday, February 17, 2023 and Yesner Law is a sponsor. ActionCOACH Tampa Bay is the host company for the event and our friends there provided us with 10 tips (and 2 bonus tips) to network an event.

ActionCOACH is the expert in this area, but Shawn and George took their ten tips and talked about what we liked about them, or in some cases where we disagreed or would edit their tips to fit our networking personalities.

If you want a reduced-price ticket to the event for $47, and if you want to network with Shawn and George at the event, use this link: https://largestnetworkingevent.eventbrite.com/?aff=YesnerLaw

What are the two bonus tips? You have to become a patron to listen to the "after-pod" show. You can check out our Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/crushingDebt

We have other shows around networking at an event too:

• Episode 208 - Top 10 Strategies to Generate Referrals from a Conference
• Episode 199 - Generating Referrals
• Episode 133 - Networking at FinCon

Why do you do what you do?

What do you do on your birthday?

On this week's episode, George interviews Shawn for his 50th Birthday, which is today (if you're listening on the day the episode is released)!

Why did Shawn become an attorney? What stories does he share on his journey to helping people have more money at the end of the month, rather than month at the end of the money?

Today's episode is a little outside the norm, as Shawn answers the questions rather than asking them.

Q: When do you want to retire?

A: Yesterday!

But how do you plan to retire early?

What if your retirement is "forced" by being terminated, or having a medical condition that causes you to be unable to work?

In this week's episode, Shawn & George talk about different strategies so you can retire early, whether by choice or by force, such as:

• Getting a second job or side hustle;
• Applying for assistance (such as Social Security, Disability or Unemployment);
• Using your savings or investments;
• Or using bankruptcy as an option of last resort.

Each year, we release a show describing what we're thankful for - and there's no better time for that than Thanksgiving.

In the early years of the show, we skipped a "Thanksgiving" episode because Shawn thought "who is going to listen on Thanksgiving Thursday? Of course, our listeners listen to shows on different days of the week, and sometimes weeks, months or years after a particular episode is released.

Of course, we're happy for all of you listening to the show! We're thankful to our guests, and sponsors as well. This year, we're thrilled to add our patrons to our list of people to be thankful for.

Debt and financial issues are tough to try to tackle alone. What are you all thankful for this year?
