What happens when a reclusive CIO hits a personal and professional crossroads? For Andrew Brummer, it was the catalyst for an extraordinary transformation—one that turned desperation into connection and a failing job search into a vibrant network of 12,000+ relationships based on a common purpose. In this deeply human and inspiring episode, Lisa McGuire sits down with Andrew to explore his journey from operating in the shadows to leading with authenticity, compassion, and clarity. Andrew opens up about the humbling lessons learned on LinkedIn, the radical power of giving without expectation, and why the key to leadership in today's world is vulnerability—not visibility. Andrew's story is more than a personal reinvention—it's a masterclass in how to lead magnanimously. Whether you're stuck in your own career pivot or wondering how to show up more powerfully online, this conversation will reframe everything you thought you knew about connection, networking, and leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stop trying to impress—start trying to connect. Vulnerability is not a weakness, it's your strongest leadership tool. LinkedIn isn't just a platform; it's your 24/7 global conference. The energy you show up with determines who shows up for you. Giving freely—without expectations—can transform your life and business. It's okay if not everyone responds; serve those who do. Your success is measured by how you impact others. Authentic networking is sustained by curiosity and compassion. Face-to-face (even virtual) conversations create deeper business momentum. Your personal brand is built in the daily moments of showing up as yourself.

When I was 19, I thought the goal was simple—make a lot of money, fast. I wanted freedom, autonomy, and proof that I could do it on my own. What I didn't realize then was that chasing money for the sake of it will leave you just as broke as being without it.In this episode, I sit down with Ryan and Cory for a deep, honest, and often hilarious conversation about what really matters in business and life. We unpack my early days: dropping out of college, getting my real estate license, failing miserably as an agent, and eventually stumbling into wholesaling. I walk through the deal that changed everything—a $105k check at 19—and how that moment shifted my mindset from "make a quick buck" to "build something sustainable."We dive into why financial freedom isn't a dollar amount—it's a lifestyle shift. I share how $20-30K/month with complete control over your time might make you feel wealthier than a 7-figure salary working for someone else. We talk about the ego traps of big business, why more employees and revenue doesn't always mean more happiness, and how I found peace in running lean and living intentionally.The guys and I also talk about identity—why so many entrepreneurs wrap theirs around their business or bank account—and how dangerous that can be. I share the story of how I got into the right rooms early, paid $15K I barely had to go to a mastermind in Maui, and ended up building lifelong relationships with people who changed the trajectory of my career.Whether you're just getting started or deep into the game, this conversation is about more than money. It's about freedom, self-awareness, and doing the work that actually matters—to you. No fluff, no flexing—just a real conversation with people who've been through it.

Visibility can make or break your career. If no one sees your impact, do you really have any influence? In this episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, we dive into why strategic visibility is essential for career growth and leadership success. If you've ever thought, “But I'm doing my job well—shouldn't that be enough?”, this episode is for you. Learn how to position yourself for opportunities, build influence, and own your narrative—without feeling like you're self-promoting.Key Takeaways:✅ Visibility drives career growth. Promotions, key projects, and leadership roles don't happen just because you work hard—they happen because the right people know what you bring to the table.✅ Influence comes from being seen and heard. When you show up in meetings, discussions, and industry events, you establish credibility and authority.✅ Control your narrative before someone else does. If you don't shape how people see you, assumptions will be made—and they may not work in your favor.✅ Visibility doesn't mean bragging—it means impact. Find natural ways to share your successes.✅ Your network amplifies your visibility. Surround yourself with mentors, allies, and sponsors who will help raise your profile."If no one sees those contributions, you're going to struggle to get recognized, to get promoted, to negotiate your salary or your bonus, or even to get invited to the table where key decisions are being made." - Karen GombaultVisibility isn't about being the loudest—it's about being seen by the right people at the right time. Are you making it easy for decision-makers to recognize your value? If not, it's time to change that. Want a clear strategy to build your visibility?

It's a common circumstance and it's okay if you haven't spent a lot of time networking or on LinkedIn. I'm going to help you with that.

Today's episode uncovers my step-by-step guide to effective business networking.

Another significant aspect is the art of getting people to respond, crucial in today's world where we have access to billions.

In this impactful episode Brad sits down with Steve Dalton, the Author of The 2-Hour Job Search and most recently “The Job Closer” to understand how so many people get sucked into the belief that job search has to be a long and arduous trek rather than a streamlined process. Key highlights from this episode include: Steve discusses what motivated him to write his first book and what prompted the follow up years later. The difference between job search tips and the elusive job search recipe. Where do most people get networking wrong by the advice out there on the internet. Steve breaks down the importance of trust building in the job search. He talks about the difference between proactive and reactive networking. What steps can be taken to work through the initial fear of reaching out during networking The importance of going into a job search with a learning forward attitude and how that actually looks in practice. How to lead with curiosity when connecting to others in a way that makes them feels valued. How can cover letters be utilized as an effective job search strategy rather than a document that will never been seen Guest Info: Steve Dalton was inspired by his students' difficult job searches during the 2008 financial crisis, so the then-Duke MBA career coach set out to create the first set of job search instructions to replace the ubiquitous networking “tips” which only worked for a select few. Steve Dalton has since delivered hundreds of workshops on his advocacy-building methods for both universities and employers following the success of his first book, The 2-Hour Job Search, which was published by Penguin Random House's Ten Speed Press in 2012. His books – including his 2021 follow-up The Job Closer – are both Amazon #1 best-sellers and have now sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide. Their “recipes” are currently taught at over 100 universities worldwide, and Dalton himself is a frequent guest speaker at top universities and Fortune 500 companies. Through his company, Contact2Colleague, Dalton provides workshops and keynotes to help companies improve their talent retention, advancement, and diversification through cohort onboardings, ERG presentations, company-wide trainings, and more. Dalton has been featured in Fast Company, the Wall Street Journal, and Fortune among others and was a regular contributor to the Huffington Post. His networking videos are popular on YouTube, and his video on how to answer “Tell me about yourself” is among YouTube's Top 1% most popular. Prior to career services, Dalton was a chemical engineer, strategy consultant, and marketer. Dalton holds an MBA from Duke and a chemical engineering degree from Case Western University. He currently resides in Durham, North Carolina.

Welcome to today's episode, where we discuss the impact of networking on your personal and business life. Networking has become an essential part of building a successful career, but it can also have negative consequences on your well-being. We'll explore how being present in the moment is key to building meaningful relationships and why it's essential to disconnect from networking occasionally. In this episode, Tamra emphasizes the importance of being fully present in the moment with your mind, heart, energy, and surroundings. By disassociating from the present moment, we can miss out on valuable opportunities to connect with others. When we're preoccupied with past or future events, it becomes challenging to build authentic relationships that support our personal and business growth. Tamra shares a personal story about their experience with disassociating from the present moment while having a conversation with their spouse and children. They were preoccupied with certain things that were going on in their life, but they realized that the moment was an opportunity to practice being present. Networking can often lead to a shallow, transactional relationship that doesn't support personal or business growth. Building a strong network requires a genuine interest in others and being present in the moment. Tamra discusses the importance of disconnecting from networking occasionally to recharge and focus on building deeper relationships with the people who matter most. In conclusion, being present in the moment is crucial for building meaningful relationships that support personal and business growth. Disassociating from the present moment can lead to missed opportunities to connect with others, which can have negative consequences on your well-being. Remember to disconnect from networking occasionally to recharge and focus on building deeper relationships with the people who matter most. Thank you for tuning in to today's episode.

When I was first getting started as a Life Coach and Speaker... I'd just moved and I didn't know ANYONE!!! Not only was I trying to build my business on the side of a full-time "bad-fit" job, but we were busy with two small children! I knew I needed to expand my network so I could connect with potential clients but I also wanted to get to know inspiring and cool people in my area! So... I used THIS strategy to meet and get to know about 50 new people in my area is a short period of time. And hey... I'm an introvert... so if it worked for ME... I bet it will work for YOU too!
