I’m swirling with input and resonance. For me, interviewing Dr Elizabeth Fried today was a bit of a realization, a dream. Her latest book, Strategic Networking: A Practical Playbook, is a reminder that networking is part of my journey these last few decades. Networking is life. A future. Money in the bank. As Popeye said, I am who I am. And I am because of networking. The universe connected us. Elizabeth has had a wondrous career for over 40 years as a management consultant, best-selling author, and award-winning executive coach. She is brilliant, wise, down-to-earth, and giving. Now I’ll just throw in some Elizabeth ideas and words from my notes. Powerful. To encourage you all to watch and take notes like me. She’s not in retirement now, but in refinement. A luxury to choose. Driven by curiosity. Her work with the military (Navy SEALs). The Honor Foundation. Imagine a whole life in the military; suddenly, you leave. The best: “Be more interested than interesting.” Process. Before you go in, learn as much as you can. From her book: use AI for deep research on how someone wants to be approached. Hooks. Edie Eger, psychologist, Holocaust survivor. Ballet and Dr. Mengele. Strongest relationships built on trust. Gravitas=grit. I know it when I see it. Be more empathetic. Authors. Just Listen, by Mark Goulston. Range by David Epstein. And the No Wallflower Rule. ENOUGH SAID. And Elizabeth will return for spirituality and metaphysical pursuits. My other energy.” Calvin 🎙️ 845+ Interviews & Videos; 6 years, nearly 500 interviews on 6 continents.
