The Networking Game: Friend or Foe?
Welcome to the first episode of The Startup Game, where we
have honest conversations about running a business – the incredible highs and the terrifying lows and how it takes another business owner to understand why on earth we do it to ourselves.
For our launch episode, we are joined by networking royalty,
Kelly and James West of ONLE Network, as well as the owner of Untangled Creative, Lauren Simmonds, an entrepreneur since she was 17.
As you can imagine, the main focus of our chat was networking, and we really get into the pros and cons of connection. For many business owners, swimming in shark
infested waters is preferable to walking into a room of strangers and talking about your business and many will avoid doing networking because of fear or bad experiences in the past. Is it worth gritting your teeth and doing it for the sake of your business, or is it possible that maybe, just maybe, you can learn to enjoy it as well?
Join us and find out!
