Hello and welcome to Networking Unleashed: Building Profitable Connections.

🎙️ *“Welcome back to the show, folks! I’m your host, Michael A. Forman, and you’re listening to the podcast where networking is more than just awkward handshakes and bad coffee—it’s an art and a talent. But here’s the twist: it’s an art and talent you can actually learn. Yes, even if you’re the person hiding in the corner at every event pretending to check emails!

Networking isn’t just a nice skill to have—it’s a game-changer. When you get good at it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner. More connections, more opportunities, more profits—it’s like unlocking a cheat code for life.

So, whether you’re the life of the party or the ‘let-me-just-stay-home-and-text’ type, we’ve got something for you. Stick around, and let’s turn those awkward small-talk moments into big wins!”*
