How to make introverts feel like rockstars?

Conversation with Eric Melchor on taking risks and hosting blitz parties.

Howdy folks!

There’s a new format in the town. Apart from the text-based blog posts, we’ll be having some interviews. Around 40 minutes of conversations with folks like you and me. Regular businesspeople from all over. The common theme? Networking plays a significant role in their lives.

So here we go with the first episode live. Still a lot of work to do but hope you enjoy!

How to make introverts feel like rockstars and host 2-hour cocktail parties with Eric Melchor! Nearly an hour of insights and lessons I made a ton of notes.

In this conversation with Eric Melchor, founder of a B2B podcast and influencer marketing agency Innovators Can Laugh, I’m taking you on a journey of how introverts can conquer networking and keep on going.

Eric discusses his life journey from being an accountant to becoming a successful marketing professional, his personal philosophy on overcoming anxiety with role models, and his insightful techniques for organizing networking events.

Take note of his strategies for hosting successful networking cocktail parties, that focus on creating rapport, building connections in small groups, and engaging the guests with common interests.
