In this solo episode of What’s Next with Lacey, host Lacey dives into the real power of networking — and why it’s so much more than trading business cards or sending cold LinkedIn requests. She shares personal stories, including how a simple coffee chat led to an internship at The Tonight Show, and why she calls herself the “Queen of Networking.”
Listeners will hear why networking matters now more than ever, the role it plays in opening doors and building support systems, and how it can spark both personal and professional growth. Lacey also breaks down practical ways to start building a network today, tips for nurturing relationships, and how to overcome the common fears that hold people back.
Whether you’re shy, worried it feels “fake,” or simply unsure where to start, this episode will give you the encouragement and tools to see networking as something human, fun, and life-changing.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
