Rose Steward is the founder of Gen-E-Networking and she joins me on Taking A Breath to talk about the fresh approach her networking events company is taking to engage the under 35 crowd in the post-covid world. They're building events in which a relaxed environment, engaging speakers, and inclusive environment are the norm.

When I asked her about how they're picking speakers for the events she emphasized that, "It's not just someone droning on about their company, it's someone sharing a story and getting people involved."

Tons of helpful and actionable tips on planning events, reaching your target audience, and how people championing your business can be your winning marketing strategy.
