When's the last time you met someone new and had a great conversation?

I'm talking no expectations, no agenda, just meet a new people and talk with them.

Exchanging knowledge and meeting new people is key to growth in my book. (book in the works).

This pod I talk about meeting new people, different organizations I'm a part of, and why it's a competitive advantage and a good idea.

Thank you Douglas Cordova for the intro to my new friend Owin.
