Feeling drained by surface-level networking? Discover how to build authentic connections after 50 through intentional living and generosity with Jen Fort, career transition coach, author and creator of “Connectworking.” In this episode, Jen flips everything you thought you knew about professional relationships on its head. No more awkward elevator pitches. No more forced small talk that leaves you drained. Instead, Jen shares her generous, human-centered approach that transforms networking from performance into genuine connection.

Here's what you'll discover:

✨ The Safari Strategy for approaching connections without triggering anxiety (yours or theirs)
✨ Why arriving early is an introvert's secret weapon
✨ The one question that opens authentic conversations every single time
✨ How to follow up in ways people actually remember (hint: it involves video)
✨ Why "giving first" creates reciprocal relationships that feel good and grow your business
✨ Simple systems for tracking connections without fancy CRMs
✨ The truth about imposter syndrome and how it sabotages you before you even speak

You'll learn how to show up as yourself—quirky, imperfect, brilliantly you—and discover that's exactly what makes people want to connect. No college degree required. No polished persona necessary. Just real conversations with real humans who might become real friends, collaborators, or clients.

As someone who's spent 15+ years navigating networking as both an introvert and an entrepreneur, I know the exhaustion of pretending. I also know the joy of finding your people—the ones who get you, champion you, and open unexpected doors. That's what authentic networking creates. That's what this episode delivers.
