but we all realize that relationships are important. We all realize that selling is important.

So the question is, how do we overcome that word and how do we actually do it in a way that's

win-win? And I learned the importance of networking because when I was a kid, my father lost

his job three separate times. And each time we had to move across the country, to a new community,

I had to meet new kids.

And I realized the importance of building relationships, having watched my father experience that,

having gotten laid off. And so I applied that to my life. And that's what I attribute to having gotten a lot of opportunities, like working at the White House, is the importance of building

critical relationships. So I just hope to inspire others,

whether I ever work with them or not, I know that there's only, just like you, there's only so

many clients you can work with. So when I talk to others, I just try and inspire them to go out

there and take interest in other people. And using a tool like a podcast, it allows you to edify them and also to learn at the same time

while up leveling your network and expanding your network and meeting new people.
