Networking events make most people want to run for the hills, and honestly, who can blame them? Between the awkward elevator pitches, the desperate card swapping, and that sinking feeling that you're doing it all wrong, traditional networking has become something we endure rather than enjoy.

In this episode, Donnie Boivin breaks down exactly why networking is broken and shares the framework that actually works for building real business relationships. You'll learn how to walk into any room and make it valuable, even if you're an introvert who'd rather be anywhere else.
