50. Making Connections in Real Life… Again!

So, today we celebrate Episode 50 of the Go Pitch Yourself podcast! Thanks to those of you who've been listening for the last 2 years and welcome to those who've recently joined us. The idea for this episode, about meeting in real life, began a year and a half ago. But then 2020 happened and it was no longer relevant. Since then, it's fair to say that my online and virtual relationships have been critical in making connections and maintaining them, both personally and professionally. Now, though, as the world is gradually opening back up again, it seems like a good time to start looking at how we can begin making connections with people IRL again. Topics covered include: Go Pitch Yourself is 50! It's OK if you didn't get me a gift. All I ask is that you please leave a review wherever you're listening so that people will know that they're going to get value from the show. Thanks so much! Why making connections and meeting people IRL is so important, even if we're doing the majority of our business in the online space How you can connect with people IRL again The advantages of building relationships in your local area - and why I've started working out of a coworking space The benefits of attending conferences...and why I'm thinking about taking a break from them in the immediate future Why you should create your own events with like-minded friends - as formal or informal as you like! I hope you found this episode useful and that it has given you ideas about going into this reopening with intention. I want to hear from you: Are you meeting up with other business owners IN PERSON?
