You never know when a simple conversation with the person next to you might change your life.

That’s the kind of networking that Laura Schwartz believes in.

Not collecting contacts.

Not scanning the room for the most important person.

Not asking, “What can you do for me?”

But instead: What can I do for you?

On this episode of The Keynote Curators Podcast, Laura and I talk about networking as something much more human: presence, service, community, and the small gestures that make people feel seen.

Inside this episode:

✅ Why great networking starts with service, not self-interest

✅ How presence changes the way people experience you

✅ Why community can make titles and status matter a whole lot less

✅ How handwritten notes create connection in a digital world

✅ Why Return on Experience deserves a place beside ROI

✅ What speakers can learn by actually reading the room

Because the most meaningful connection at an event may not happen on stage.

It may happen in the seat next to you.
