BONUS EPISODE ALL ABOUT NETWORKING - Brandon Souba

Brandon Souba - "Success Can Be Fun - With Focus"

​Introduction
Well last week was not our last show for Season 3, but I thought it was! The good news is you will all benefit from my mistake. As most of you know I was involved in professional networking for the last 7 years. I learned a lot in those 7 years and I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the knowledge I now have. Think of this as the show that will prepare you to enter the networking world or get you better results in the networking you are doing currently. Enjoy as we dive into the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of networking. 

Have a great business week.
