Ever notice how much richer conversations
Old School Hollywood Style!
So, there I was at the Wealth Management EDGE conference in Hollywood, FL last week, soaking up some Florida sun (my fave!) and, more importantly, spending quality time with some folks I truly admire in our industry. It was a blast catching up with old friends, making some new ones, and sharing what’s new
I had one chat that started pretty standard -- we were talking about the new wave of AI tech hitting our industry. But then, we just clicked, and suddenly we're brainstorming potential projects
It funny....as extroverted & outgoing as I appear, I am far more introverted than one might imagine. While I love, love, love speaking on stages, doing podcasts, and making media appearances, I am probably the LAST person to strike up a conversation with someone I don't already know. Anyone else like that?
Here are a few tips I've embraced to make initiating those connections
