Episode Synopsis


Ready to transform the way you build business relationships? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the art of authentic networking with two professionals who’ve mastered the craft.



Join us as we sit down with Julia Bennett, Sales and Marketing Associate at CKJ Building and Design, and Mike Smith, Senior Roofing Consultant with Roof Replacement Solutions. Together, along with our very own Producer Tim Beeman, they’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to make meaningful connections in today’s business landscape.



We’re tackling the big question: How do you network in a way that feels genuine instead of transactional? Our Executive Director, Denice Heidel, puts it perfectly: “People do business with people they know, like, and trust” – and networking is where those relationships begin.



In this conversation, we explore:




The secret to starting conversations that actually stick



Why consistency matters more than you think when building professional relationships



How showing up authentically over time creates the trust that translates to business



Practical strategies for making networking feel natural, not forced




Whether you’re a seasoned networker or just getting started, this episode is packed with actionable insights on how to leverage genuine connections to grow your business. Because at the end of the day, networking isn’t just about collecting business cards – it’s about building relationships that last.
