In this episode of The Inspired Collective, Karli and Renee are joined by Karli’s friend (and a true walking human connection), Katie Browning—a top-performing sales pro who somehow knows someone everywhere she goes.

They talk about how to build real connections without forcing it, faking it, or turning every conversation into a networking pitch. From navigating rooms full of strangers to building trust in business and everyday life, Katie breaks down the habits that make people feel seen—and remembered for all the right reasons.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to be genuinely memorable (without trying too hard)
• The easiest way to build trust fast: asking better questions
• Networking when you’d rather hide by the snacks
• The difference between collecting contacts and building real relationships
• Why curiosity beats charisma every time

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “That could’ve gone better,” this episode is your new playbook.
