We are creative entrepreneurs, and we also know how difficult it can be to navigate the journey of entrepreneurship.

Today, you are going to unite with other creatives.

Let's step out of this isolating experience as business owners, as authors, as podcasters, or speakers,

and let's start learning actionable tools you need to build an explosive brand. Let's start

creating. Now on with the show. I have interviewed your partner, Gary Vee, at VCon. I've had

interactions with Ed, press for him as well for Entrepreneur Magazine. I'm always so fascinated,

and I think probably part of me models myself over the Vaynerchuk methodology and on how to build a business, because I want to be like that when I grow up.

However.

Don't we all?

Yeah, right?

I know you can't just snap your fingers and you become Gary V. or James Orsini. We have James Orcini here, Dominic D'Amasky. Look at that. I've been studying James. I've been watching his videos. I've been watching his videos. I'm learning a lot. It's a consistent message, right? That you could tell. It is. So, okay, so here's what I've noticed in the videos, Julie, and James.

One of the things he says over and over is making connections is so important to him.

He's all about making connections and connecting other people.

Why? Why waste your time?

What's that mean?

Why do you do it, James?

I do it because I'm in a place where I can, right? I help people simply because I can.

I often don't do it for something in return. However, I'm not afraid to make a phone call, you know, years down the road and just reach out to somebody

who I haven't spoken to in years knowing that, you know, I did a favor for, I made a connection

for. And it's one of my superpowers. I have a way of seeing how the dots connect and a room.

You know, I could walk into a room and say, oh, this goes to this and this and this.

And that's what sort of amazes some people.
