Susan Jarema and co-host Steve Brossman bring together three collaboration experts, Derek Morgan, David Riklan, and Danny Bermant, for a special Grand Connection Networking Mixer focused on making relationships more valuable through intentional follow-up, generosity, and practical action.
Derek explores the opportunities often overlooked within existing networks and the importance of asking better referral questions. David shares how identifying mutual value and building a consistent partnership system can open doors to joint ventures, referrals, and greater visibility. Danny highlights the difference between transactional networking and becoming a trusted, reliable collaboration partner others genuinely want to support.
Throughout the conversation, Susan and Steve reinforce the importance
of moving beyond collecting contacts to building relationships grounded in reciprocity and trust. Aligned with the Grand Connection's philosophy of giving and collaborative growth, the discussion offers a refreshing reminder that meaningful business growth often begins with the relationships already in place.
