In this episode of The Imperfect Podcast, Wendy Lloyd Curley speaks with Andrea Hernandez from Adventures Web Digital about business, belonging, bravery, and the very human side of networking.

Andrea shares her story of moving from Colombia to Spain, then to the UK, and eventually to Australia, where she and her partner began building their own digital agency. With a background in creativity, web development, public service, and a deep desire to help people, Andrea’s journey into business is thoughtful, honest, and refreshingly real.

Together, Wendy and Andrea explore what it feels like to start a business in a new country, how isolating entrepreneurship can be, and why finding the right business community can make such a profound difference. Andrea speaks openly about her early experiences of networking, from awkward rooms and superficial connections to discovering BNI and finding not just referrals, but confidence, accountability, friendships, and a renewed sense of identity.

The conversation also touches on generational differences in networking, especially the way younger business owners often begin relationships online, while still deeply craving genuine face-to-face connection. At the heart of the episode is a simple but powerful idea: no matter our age, background, or business experience, networking works best when it begins with human connection.

This is a warm, reflective conversation about building a business, finding your people, and remembering that life really is one big adventure.
