AJ and Johnny break down why the real driver of opportunity is social capital — and how the most connected people aren't the ones collecting contacts, but the ones consistently creating value inside their network. From making the right introductions to sharing relevant insights and offering real emotional support, this episode reveals the three currencies that turn relationships into trust, access, and opportunity.

You leave networking events exhausted… your feet hurt, you've been talking all day, and somehow you still go out at night like nothing happened. And yet, people talk about networking like it's this casual, easy thing. In this episode, I'm sharing what these events actually feel like when you've done them for years, not just attending, but exhibiting, planning, and relying on them for real business. We get into: the part of networking no one talks about (the showing off, the winging it, the pressure) what most people do when they walk into these events what actually worked when we were doing this at a high level and why the event itself is not where things happen Because networking is not about being good in the room. It's about what you did before you walked in… and what you do after you leave.

If you've ever felt drained, exhausted, or frustrated by traditional networking events, you aren't alone. In this episode, Davide Cannarozzi explains why showing up to a random event without a clear strategy is a massive waste of your time and energy. Instead of treating networking as a casual interaction, Davide reveals why the most elite networkers treat relationship-building like being a diplomat or a spy—using intense planning, research, and flashcards to connect with the right people.We break down the critical differences between "random," "utilitarian," "intentional," and "serendipity" networking, and why you must build networking as an infrastructure for your life rather than a one-off chore. We also dive into the dangers of building a business without a clear vision or a mentor, and how that exact lack of self-awareness led to a grueling half-a-million-dollar loss in my own tech startup journey. Finally, we explore how to manage Dunbar's number in a world where technology connects us to thousands, and why you must "prune" your network just like the brain prunes unused synapses.

The events are over the top. But that is not why you go.We talk about what it looks like to walk into a room like this for the first time, the social dynamics that no one prepares you for, and how networking at this level is so much less about pitching yourself and so much more about building real, long term relationships.We also get into the real ROI of events like this. When it makes sense to go, when it does not, and why getting in the right rooms at the right stage of your business can completely change your trajectory.And maybe most importantly, how to approach these opportunities with intention so you are not just attending, you are actually leveraging them.If you've been curious about luxury industry events, feeling like you are not quite ready, or questioning if proximity really makes that big of a difference, this episode will give you clarity.Because growth does not come from working harder.It comes from getting in rooms that expand the way you think.This episode was sponsored by Wanderlust Videos, use LEVELUP100 for $100 off your first edit at https://www.wanderlust-videos.com/And thank you to VidFlow for sponsoring today's episode.

Have you ever been to an event where the person you're talking to is just looking past you for their next "lead"?. In this episode, Charles Lee breaks down why treating human connection like a transactional sales funnel will ultimately hold you back. We explore how genuine business flows naturally from authentic relationships, why you need to stop asking boring questions like "what do you do?", and how to cultivate deep curiosity about others. Charles shares a story of how a free, rainy-day speaking gig led to a 15-year relationship with one of his biggest clients , and we discuss the psychology of eye contact, body language, and the dreaded "resting thinking face". Finally, we tackle the ultimate question every driven entrepreneur must ask themselves: when it's all said and done, how much is enough?.

Key TakeawaysWhat to expect in 2026: The industry has moved from its previous point in the "hype cycle" into a more realistic phase, where limitations of AI and agents are clearer, and new methodologies are needed to extract real business value. Robinson adds that this year's AI Agent & Copilot Summit serves as an important refresh to share what's been learned, preview what's coming, and features an exceptionally strong lineup of Microsoft AI leaders.Session selection process: Robinson, who serves on the event's Programming Committee Board, describes what he was looking for when selecting sessions: a balance of technical depth with business context, so attendees understand foundational concepts before advancing into more complex topics. The goal was to ensure attendees walk away with both the “cool” innovations and the practical know‑how needed to apply AI effectively without creating business issues.2026 sessions: Robinson details the five sessions he'll be leading, including:"From Future Proof to Future Agile," on March 18"Copilot Studio 101 & Implementation Guide," on March 18"Child Agents, Instructions, and Descriptions: A New Way of Building," on March 18"Update to Understanding Component Collections Vs Multi-Agent," on March 19"Multi-Agent AI Systems with Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, Fabric, Microsoft Agent Framework," on March 19He adds that "I would love to get your insights [on] where you're having problems, challenges you're seeing... so that'll just be additional value-add on top of these great learnings in the masterclass."Final thoughts: Robinson encourages attendees to fully engage with the event's intimate, community‑focused format, noting that “these speakers are going to be available to you, so take the opportunity to interact with them.” He emphasizes following the full education track for maximum value and making time for social events to connect, learn, and share insights.

Send me a textDo you ever leave a networking event realising you know exactly what everyone else does… but hardly anyone could say the same about you?You might have had good conversations. You might have felt comfortable, even enjoyed yourself, and yet nothing has come of it. No follow‑ups. No referrals. No real sense that being in that room made any difference to your business.In this episode of Rise From Within, I'm talking about why that happens.This isn't about having a better pitch, being more confident, or forcing yourself to sound salesy. It's about the very common ways women hold back at networking events without realising — asking questions instead of speaking about themselves, minimising what they do, or moving the focus away from their work and asking others about what they do instead.I explore what's actually going on underneath those behaviours, why networking confidence can feel harder the more experienced you become, and how being liked at networking doesn't automatically lead to being remembered or referred.In this episode, I cover:Why networking confidence often looks like being polite, asking lots of questions, and keeping the focus off yourselfThe difference between being socially present and being professionally present at networking eventsWhy confidence at networking events can feel harder, not easier, as your business growsThe cost of being liked at networking but not referredWhat it really means to own what you do without apology in business spacesI also talk about the temptation to say “they weren't my people anyway” and dismiss what's really happened, and why networking isn't just about who buys from you now, but who might remember, recommend, or refer you later.This episode is for you if you're showing up to networking events, feel like you're doing all the right things, and still wondering why it's not translating into opportunities and sales.Support the showGet my emailsFollow on InstagramConnect with me on LinkedInWhatsApp me!Eat From Within membershipPersonal Coaching
