Episode notes

So many people think networking is about impressing the right people or getting close to whoever’s on stage. But the truth? The relationships that change your life are usually built shoulder-to-shoulder with people growing right alongside you. In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Bartold, co-founder of The Social Snippet and High Vibe Women to talk about how she turned one mastermind investment into years of referrals, speaking opportunities, and lifelong friendships by leading with value, playing the long game, and showing up with zero expectation. We also dive into podcasting as a relationship-building tool, why rooms matter more than algorithms, and how to make meaningful connections without feeling salesy, awkward, or transactional. Get ready to rethink networking and start building relationships that compound for years to come.
