Does networking make you cringe? Do you feel like you’re not “outgoing enough” to build connections that actually align with who and where you want to be?

In this solo episode, Madison is fresh off back-to-back networking events—including hosting her own—and she’s breaking down everything you really need to know about how to walk into any room and build genuine, valuable relationships. Whether you’re a full-on extrovert or someone who instantly replays conversations in your head on the ride home, this episode is your permission slip to stop overthinking, start connecting, and own your energy.

From shifting your mindset to practical follow-up tips, Madison covers the exact habits, scripts, and social strategies that have helped her go from knowing no one to building a circle of friends, clients, collaborators, and mentors that support her growth. Oh, and she’s also sharing exactly what she packs in her bag before a big event (hint: Band-Aids and beef sticks are a must).

 

What You’ll Learn

• How to shift your mindset so networking doesn’t feel cringe or salesy
