Another week new friends and old friends!!!

Welcome Linkedin Family, I do have a more in-depth newsletter that you can subscribe to here:

https://therealestrecruiter.beehiiv.com/subscribe?-1500 subscribers after 5 editions and episode 6 drops on Tuesday.

(I feature TA tech, my poll of the week, events, and news stories I'm interested in)

This newsletter is a great way to document this crazy experiment I started a few weeks ago. The goal is to meet with 500 people in my network in 365 days. If you want to book some time you can do it at the end of this newsletter calendar link below.

This week I met with? Zaya C. and Chanda Crist ? that are working to put together an awesome creator platform that allows creators to have one place for all their content. I also met with Raul Torres , Isaac Marks , Caroline Pennington , RACHEL SIMON , Peter Amechi , Stefan Niemczyk , and Daniel Barczuk .

I got to meet with an old friend, RACHEL SIMON , we connected a few years ago through Clubhouse and we had a chance to catch up and discuss coaching, LinkedIn, and life. I guess Clubhouse did have some value ??

Meeting with so many people has already proven valuable. I have a few upcoming collaborations and possible partnerships down the line.

Pretty much everyone I've met with has either been looking to start creating content and a brand or has already started and is looking to grow.

With the economy as uncertain as it's been more people are looking to create security by building side hustles, and brands. and learning new skills.

The most inspiring meeting I had was with Raul Torres who is currently a substitute teacher but has recently gone through a data science course. After a few years in sales, he realized that his favorite part of sales was analyzing data. I loved how he took a chance on himself and when we met he mentioned he was going through the interview process for a new data science role. I was so inspired to hear how he took the chance on himself and I know that it will pay off.

Another meeting that stuck out was Caroline Pennington who is a recruiter like myself but also works to help companies with interview processes. I'm working on a video course for recruiters, she was able to give me some super useful tips that she'd used in creating her own program. I love the timing of these meetings, and I'm grateful for the wisdom that's being imparted to me.

There you have it, another week down!!! I only got?ghosted once this week and had zero cancellations. If you try something like this, I'd recommend NOT using Calendly, it's not great for events showing up on calendars.

If you want to be a part of this year-long experiment, Here is a link to the calendar?https://calendly.com/humanheadhunter/networkingcall
