Think Tomorrow: How to make connections to find the next opportunity?
There are a lot of untold statistics behind overnight successes. Being open about what this looks like has been the greatest tool to motivate many with stars in their eyes and dreams in their pockets!
I kicked off the imagineers event right when the pandemic started, sharing it without a lot of post production effort with the hope that it reaches the ones who need this the most! (P.S Sorry that the sound quality on this one isn’t that great for the lack of the right microphone! Improvements coming up in the next episodes!)
