Are you stuck in the “Networking Black Hole”?

You attend events, hand out cards, smile, and leave... but nothing happens. No new leads, no partnerships, no growth. If that’s your experience, this small business podcast episode is for you.

In this short solo episode of the Why Your Business Isn’t Growing business growth podcast, Brendan Rogers from Leader By Design flips the outdated belief that “the more business cards you hand out, the more successful your networking will be.”

You’ll learn:

  • Why this old-school strategy no longer works
  • What real connection looks like in modern networking
  • How to shift from transactional to relationship-building
  • The one small tweak that changes everything

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
