Big industry shows and events can often feel overwhelming and intimidating, especially if you're attending for the first time, don’t know many people, or find networking awkward.

But like the best podcasts, making connections is about telling stories that resonate, finding common ground, and becoming part of a community that works for you.

This friendly and powerful 30-minute session offers tips and real-world insights on how to do exactly that, particularly if you’re trying to summon the courage to speak to ‘big players’ and industry leaders. Learn how to navigate this new terrain with greater ease, build confidence, and manage imposter syndrome.

More than anything, this session is about owning your narrative so you can move through new spaces in a way that feels authentic to you.

Hear the real talk, pick up practical tips, and find your people at this year’s Podcast Show.
