Welcome to the 28th episode of Take the Leap's second season. In this episode, "Stop Shouting Into the Void: Why Connection Beats Content" co-hosts Ashlan Glazier-Anderson and Victoria Proppe reflect on how small acts—whether it's fixing your referral systems, tending a garden, or showing up to help a neighbor—add up to big impact in both business and life. This continues the theme of our season–community, clarity, and care are essential ingredients for sustainable entrepreneurship in uncertain times. Listen to the episode with Dusti Arab that we reference on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or watch on YouTube.

Key Takeaways from the Episode: 

• When networking, avoid showing up with “what can I get” energy. Instead, be a whole person and build authentic connections.
• Amidst political instability and rising authoritarianism, building strong community connections is a powerful act of resistance and resilience.
• The culture of competition and hustle under capitalism can isolate entrepreneurs. Joining networking groups, nonprofit boards, or mom-and-kid classes are simple ways to build local community and combat loneliness.
