Episode Notes

It’s been a while since I last published a podcast episode on @bloomincrisis. 

As I realized that time spent editing videos was taking away from my writing and other practices, I decided to shift my focus despite having a long backlog of recordings I’ve yet to revisit. However, after observing many students struggle with effective networking (most recently while hiring for our Business Intelligence internship position at BBC Studios), I felt compelled to edit and share this throwback episode that I recorded with students at Fordham University more than a year ago.

In this episode, you'll learn:

❌ The biggest turn-off when it comes to networking

❌ Why you might not have found success in networking yet 

✅ How reframing networking in your mind can help you build meaningful relationships 

✅ Creative ways to leave a lasting positive impression on potential employers or hiring managers—plus real-life examples! 

If this resonates with you and you’d like to dive deeper, I’ll be back at Fordham this Wednesday, March 5th, for another speaking event. Hope to see you there. 

Good luck! 🍀 

Shoutout to Shubh Mahtani and Santiago Ablaza for proactively arranging the event and hosting the podcast, Professor Kate Kennon for her help with organizing, and all the students from Fordham University and others who attended and engaged in the session.
