Questions from the show:

“For someone coming right out of college with little work experience, what’s a good way for them to jump into the industry and make a name for themselves? Should they go to networking events? Should they connect with people online? Should they reach out to the thought leaders in their industry? If you have little work experience, how can you differentiate yourself from all of the others who are seeking employment or want to advance their career?”

—Timothy Huneycutt

“You guys recently talked about reaching out to the network you currently have to reach your goals rather than going to networking events and meeting new people. How do you turn your current network into paying clients? How do you approach this without sounding ‘salesy’? Is it an appropriate thing to do?”

—Emily Joy Lewin of brightideascollective.com
