The Little Book of Networking: How to Advance Your Career with Kurt Schmidt [Podcast]

Podcast #315 – The Little Book of Networking: How to Advance Your Career

Description:

In this episode, I speak to Kurt Schmidt, the author of the book The Little Book of Networking: How to Advance Your Career One Conversation at a Time. I like Kurt’s book because it is an easy 1-2 hour read and very actionable. It’s worth your time to pick up this book if you’re hesitant to get back into networking.

Here is Kurt’s bio:

Kurt Schmidt is President of Foundry, a pioneering software design agency serving B2B industries. He is also the host of Schmidt List – a 200+ episode podcast that has connected him with prominent leaders for over five years.

With more than twenty years of leadership and business experience, Kurt has learned the best kept secrets to career and business success. In The Little Book of Networking, Kurt authored The Little Book Of Networking to empower individuals seeking professional growth.

I’ll be releasing several networking-themed episodes over the next month. In a few weeks I will be speaking to my good friend Steve Harper who is the author of the book The Ripple Effect: Maximizing the Power of Relationships for Life and Business.

My perception, and it’s just my perception, is that a lot of you are uncomfortable going back out and meeting people in real life. We’ve gotten used to talking to people over Zoom, but meeting people in person is so important.

I’ll be spending a majority of May in the US and am currently planning one-on-ones with a lot of people while I’m in Austin. My wife and I will be traveling to Annapolis, Maryland to visit our son, his wife and their new Sheep Doodle puppies. So I follow my advice.
