@Nicole Henderson and I rocked out and incredible episode premiering on Sept 21 at 8pm EST Thanks to @Rasheed Hooda for being LIVE on Friday! Have you connected with her yet?

I think I’ve been making relationship-building harder than it needed to be. Lately I’ve stopped going into every LinkedIn conversation wondering where it might lead. Instead, I’ve been asking more questions, getting curious about people, and letting conversations be conversations. And something funny happened. People started talking to me more. I’m enjoying LinkedIn more too. It made me wonder: What changed for you when you stopped trying to “network” and simply started getting to know people?

I’m hosting the first Connection Meetup IRL Who’s ready to experience a new way to connecting? If you have any friends in NJ specifically North Jersey I would Love it if you shared this with them! DM for the registration link or drop connection below and I will DM you!

I read Shawn’s article about why 10 strong relationships can be worth more than 10,000 followers, and it made me think about how I’ve been approaching social media lately. For a long time, it’s easy to think growth means getting more followers, more views, and bigger numbers. But I’m learning that I’d rather have a smaller group of people I actually know. People whose posts I recognize when I see their name. People I’ve had real conversations with. People I can support without wondering what I’m going to get in return. And people who are getting to know me the same way. That doesn’t happen from one comment or one connection request. It happens when you keep showing up and the conversations start adding up. So I like the idea of a Power 10. Not 10 prospects. Not 10 people to pitch. Just 10 genuine relationships worth building. I’m curious: If you looked at your social media differently and focused on relationships instead of follower count, what would you do differently this week? Read it here

I believe we are on the right track here, still a lot of work however building this AI service into scottgerrard.com for everyone to leverage. . Gotta keep on testing, trying to pull a few 20k+ view ones. Mixing up tags and perfecting the layouts is all it will take. . Once I teach the AI exactly what it needs to do, there will be not much required to generate your own
