“Human connection isn’t instant—rapport might be, but trust takes time.” — Orlaith Brogan, Co-Founder of Wing People
What if networking wasn’t awkward, aimless, or based on chance? What if connection at events was designed—with intention, warmth, and actual follow-through?
Shaena Harrison and Orlaith Brogan are the co-founders of Wing People, a company that places trained "wing people" inside events to make meaningful, real-time introductions. In this episode, they share the origin of their mission, the power of serendipity, and what it means to connect without agenda.
✨ Highlights from this episode:
How to make people feel safe enough to open up
The problem with pitch-slapping—and what to do instead
Why event ROI needs more human design, not just better logistics
Real stories of connections that changed lives (years later)
The magic of noticing who’s standing alone—and doing something about it
Whether you’re an event organizer, a reluctant networker, or a lifelong connector, this episode will remind you that the best outcomes often come when we stop chasing them.
