In today’s episode, I had the opportunity to have my friend Rob Finkelstein back on the show to talk about the importance of building a professional community or network. In the world of AI, it seems like we are moving further away from building real relationships, which is what is making this skill increasingly valuable in the marketplace.

What I appreciate about our time together is hearing Rob share his thoughts about what people can do to establish common ground with others when networking, and our discussion about the keynote I delivered on The Power Of Relationship.

In today’s episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Mardica Hicks, the Executive Director of the Children’s Community Clinic. The Children’s Community Clinic began in 2005 with a focus on serving socially disadvantaged children with a holistic, quality, and community approach to healthcare. Today, CCC provides high-quality, compassionate healthcare to children from birth to 21 years of age, from families who are underserved (uninsured and underinsured), regardless of ethnicity, geographic residency, or ability to pay.

During our call, I had the opportunity to learn about Mardica’s journey of growing up in Portland while building a career focused on making an impact for underserved communities. We also discussed how important the work is that she is doing at CCC.

In today's episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Ion Craciun of Fee Navigator, an AI-powered merchant statement analysis tool that delivers clarity and confidence to merchant payments professionals, integrated software vendors, financial institutions, and entrepreneurs. During our call, we discussed Ion’s journey of growing up in Romania where he’d work for the government prosecuting business owners for financial crimes to moving to America where he built a successful career advocating for business owners in the payments industry.

What I appreciated most about our time together was hearing Ion’s advice to people thinking about becoming entrepreneurs and how they can prepare themselves and their families to make sacrifices for the level of success they are seeking in business.
