Ever left a networking event feeling like you needed a shower and a reset? You're not alone. The handshake hustle and business card swaps just don't cut it anymore. In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, returning guest Catherine Brown shares how she's reinventing networking through authenticity, generosity, and genuine human connection. As the founder of the Good Humans Growth Network and creator of the SELL WELL Conference, Catherine is leading a movement that proves building relationships can be meaningful—and still move the needle in your business. You'll learn why personal branding is non-negotiable, what it really means to be a "good human" in business, and how Lisa's new mastermind, Beyond the Transaction, is cultivating deep, transformational connections—online and in person. This episode is your blueprint for connecting with purpose and standing out by being unapologetically you. Key Takeaways: Networking Shouldn't Feel Transactional: Build relationships that are based on trust, service, and mutual growth—not immediate gain. Give First, Receive Later: The best connections come from a genuine desire to help others before expecting anything in return. SELL WELL Is Not Your Typical Conference: With hands-on workshops, interactive sessions, and no "popcorn presentations," it's built for real transformation. Specificity is Kindness: Knowing what you want makes it easier for others to help you—and makes you more referable. Good Humans Spot Potential: The right network doesn't just support you—they reflect your potential back to you.
