If there’s someone you want to connect with, whether for podcasting, networking, or to make a new friend, there are some easy steps you can follow to initiate the connection. 

In this episode, I share my process and tips that I've learned over the past 3+ years for how I've been able to connect with some of the coolest people. From the beginning, I have had a really great success rate for people responding to me.

You'll get insight on how to write an email or direct message (DM) that shows: 

• You are authentically interested in who they are and what they’re bringing into the world. 
• You’ve made it easy to connect by providing some different options with a scheduling link or where they can share their availability.
• You’ve been specific about why you are reaching out. 
• You're very respectful and understand that we all live very busy lives. 
• You always try to give people the benefit of the doubt! (This helps you be optimistic for the future response of "Yes!")

I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers. It has been such a blessing to share stories of incredible, inspiring women since I started in 2020.

If you have benefitted from this work, or simply appreciate that I do it, please consider buying me a $5 coffee. ☕️
