Answer please.

Answer please.

Oh, baby, baby, can you help me?

Help me. Hey Marie.

Yeah, Marie. are stuck behind your screen and struggling to meet more people in real life, this episode

is especially for you. Today's question comes from Wendy, who writes.

Hi Marie, I did B-school a few years back and really appreciate you and your team.

We appreciate you.

In business, I'm comfortable being vulnerable online, but I realize that I'm not at all comfortable

talking to people in person about what I do. I've recently moved to New York

City and there's no shortage of humans. However, I'm struggling to get out from behind the screen and have real conversations.

In a world that makes it easy to hide behind our computers, what are surefire tools to get me out

of my comfort zone and into the world?

Thanks so much, Wendy. Wendy, Wendy. Wendy, this is a great question. So many people

watching right now can relate. Because you know, working from home, it does have its benefits

like a flexible schedule and time freedom and hey you get to choose

whether or not you want to wear pants but it can also be really isolating and

even if you love people talking about what you do doesn't come naturally to all of us.
