If you’ve ever felt awkward at networking events, struggled to build meaningful connections, or wondered how to meet the right people without pretending to be someone you’re not, this episode is for you. This episode is especially helpful for fellow expats.

We talk about networking that feels human, inclusive, and actually works.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • Why sharing your passion is the best icebreaker at events
  • How expats and internationals experience networking differently
  • Designing networking events that include introverts, not just the confident few
  • Building real connections in a world shaped by AI
