    87 - Solo doesn't Scale

    In this episode, Gillian Schofield and Jamie Stewart have a straight-talking conversation about a trap so many business owners fall into... trying to do it all on their own.If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll just start my own business, get some clients, and manage everything myself,” this one’s for you. We’ve both been there. We’ve both worked late into the night, hit bottlenecks, and felt the pressure of keeping all the plates spinning.We talk about the moment you realise that doing everything yourself might be holding you back. From the hidden costs of doing too much, to the social isolation that creeps in when you’re always working alone, we share the reality behind self-employment that no one puts on LinkedIn.You’ll hear us talk about when to bring in help, how to spot when you’ve hit your ceiling, and why building a support network isn’t just helpful... it’s necessary. Whether you’re starting out or you’re a few years in and still carrying the weight of everything, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.Real stories. Practical ideas.

    86 - Networking Is Broken w/ Gillian Schofield

    The Buffalo Sessions — Episode: Networking is Broken Watch this before your next networking event. Jamie Stewart is joined by first-time co-host Gillian Schofield for a raw, honest, and practical conversation about why traditional networking doesn’t work — and what to do instead. In this episode: Why most people approach networking the wrong way The Networking Trap and how to escape it How Circle Networks flips the script from “pitching” to relationship building Why chasing 1-to-1s with everyone is a waste of time The power of long-term collaboration over quick wins How to build a referral team who actually sends you business What real networking success looks like — with stories that prove it Key takeaways: Stop going to events just to sell. Build friendships first — business follows. A single great connection beats a dozen forgettable ones. Strategic follow-up wins over frantic follow-up. Warm introductions are more valuable than email intros. 00:00 Rethinking Business Networking Labels 04:31 "Networking: Beyond Client Hunting" 07:24 Building Trust Before Business 12:11 "Trap of Low Ticket Offers" 14:33 "Rethinking Networking for Relationships" 17:03 Integrate Networking with Marketing 20:15 Unlocking Networking Potential on LinkedIn 25:43 Friendship vs. Work Priorities 26:53 "Thanks for Listening" Find out more about Circle Networks and grab your free trial here https://circlenetworks.co.uk/free-trial
