Calvin [email protected] share a brief Bio.Meet Calvin Barry Schwartz: 6'5" tall, and impossible to miss, literally, which is why sneaking into a scene in Meryl Streep's movie, "One True Thing," was such an achievement. This Jersey guy has nine lives and receipts to prove it: survived a VW rolling over five times at 65 mph (walked away without a scratch), got mysteriously healed of a devastating knee injury walking out of a church in Nazareth (four witnesses), and once lost 100 pounds in 2½ months like he was possessed. After selling eyeglasses for a billionaire for 25 years, this Newark ex-pharmacist watched "Casablanca" for the 54th time and thought, "I could write something like that." So, he did. Twice. His second novel, "There's a Tortoise in My Hair: A Journey to Spirit," earned the Kirkus Star and comparisons to Philip Roth, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Irving, transforming a midlife crisis into a deeply personal and darkly humorous meditation on meaning, mortality, and the mysterious forces that guide us through our darkest moments. Not bad for a guy who started his teaching career at Rutgers at 74, when most people are perfecting their golf game. Speaking of Rutgers, Calvin is on the Advisory Committee of the Women’s Health Institute at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. These days, Calvin practices what he preaches: flexitarian since 1975, zero coronary artery plaque, LDL cholesterol at 45, and sharper than ever. He's conducted seven paranormal investigations (ghosts, orbs, the works), turned down Steven Spielberg twice (still regretting it), almost tried out for the Chicago Bulls in 1976, and hosts a global podcast with 700+ interviews/videos. He recently wrote to Pope Leo XIV about his "inexplicable spirituality" because why not? If anyone could understand it, this Pope could. Calvin's third book is "Ten Things I Learned from the Billionaire." Spoiler: longevity techniques work. He's living proof.What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?Networking leading to positive life changes; career changeS Longevity.

Andi Shaughnessy / Danielle [email protected] share a brief Bio.In 2011, our father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. At the time, Danielle was a full-time mom, raising three kids while helping with the business when she could, and Andi was building a career in sports television. As our father’s health declined in the spring of 2012, we faced a life-changing decision—whether to take on ExpressIt, the company he had built. When he passed that summer, the business entered a period of uncertainty, and we made the choice to step in. At that point, ExpressIt was operating with just 13 drivers, two operations managers, and a handful of accounts across Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Despite having no prior business experience, we leaned on what we knew: hard work, resilience, and a people-first approach. Fast forward to today, ExpressIt has grown into a thriving operation with over 200 drivers and a 14-person management team, servicing customers throughout the Northeast. Our journey has been anything but traditional, but it has reinforced what we believe at our core: success is built on trust, strong relationships, and always delivering on our promises.What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?Personal Growth & Resilience; Tactical & Inspirational Topics for EntrepreneursWhat are 2-3 things you would like to gain as a result of being on this podcast?Sharing our story, inspiring others, connecting with othersAny website you wish to share with the audience?expressitdelivery.comAny social media links you wish to share with the audience?Andi & Danielle both on LinkedIn; Instagram: @expressitdelivery; @unlikelybossesMichael is a business networking expert specializing in enhancing professionals' networking and communication skills to drive profitability.

They’re connected — to other teams, to clients, to key partners. In this topic, we talk about why external collaboration isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s a business advantage. Leaders can play a key role in helping teams build those bridges. Great leaders aren’t just well connected — they build networks around their teams: When only the leader has the contacts, the team stays dependent. But when a leader acts as a connector, everyone grows. This conversation explores how leaders can open doors for their teams — introducing them to people, opportunities, and insights that increase trust, motivation, and business impact.What are 2-3 things you would like to gain as a result of being on this podcast?Share my knowledge and tools with a wider audience and promote my book CLICKING.Any website you wish to share with the audience?https://dariarudnik.com/Any social media links you wish to share with the audience?https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariarudnikhttps://www.youtube.com/@dariarudnikcoachingMichael is a business networking expert specializing in enhancing professionals' networking and communication skills to drive profitability.

Welcome to Networking Unleashed, building Proper Connections. I'm Michael Forman, and today is episode 100. Yes, you heard me correctly. 100 Chances to Ruin a handshake and 100 Chances to fix them Instead. So I'm flying solo today. Which means no guests to blame and all the best shortcuts to share straight with you.Each week, I give you tactical, no fluff strategies that turn small, talk into real revenue, and this one message or these messages gets you a lunch, a single question that turns conferences into conferences, chaos into meaningful connections. If you want fewer, awkward science silences and more closed deals, you're in the right place.So stay with me. I'll give you razor sharp actions you can use today, and a short challenge at the end. Make life worth living, make networking, less exhausting and more profitable. Now I'm gonna run you through a few things that I normally go through during a workshop, and my first question is, why? Why does everyone network?And I firmly believe that networking is the base of all businesses. So what's your ultimate goal? Of course it's to make more money. Otherwise, why are you in business? But there's more to network networking than that. It's having a giver's game, it's having a servant's heart. It's doing good for somebody else. 📍 📍 📍 📍 📍 📍 You are a problem solver. That's right. So you have to find out what the person that you're speaking to, what's their problem, because you have to have in the back of your head some sort of solution. And when you can do that, then you've made it. Let me just tell you just a few items, a few things, because when you're networking, don't just think networking as a business.Think of networking in your everyday life. And so when you network, you go shopping for your jeans, go shopping for food, you're talking with people online, you're talking with people in the aisles. First things first. Make smile. Make it like you're a happy person. Whether you are or not doesn't make a difference, but you know what?Because people will react to you much better when you're a happy person. And so you just, if you're in line with somebody and they're talking about it. I used to be in the mortgage industry and I would always listen. I would always listen. If people are talking about buying a house or selling a house, renting a house, I would always turn around, give my two seconds worth of information, and I turn back around.If they were interested, they tap me on the shoulder and they say, you know what about that? So anyway, so that goes a long way with networking. But you know what? Whenever you go anywhere, you have business cards, right? Don't forget your business cards. You put them in your pocket or whatever else.And whenever the time comes, you can always give your business card. What's more important than actually meeting the person. It's your follow up. I have a follow up strategy. I call it my secret sauce, the follow up. So I will get into that maybe, but I will get into that. So I want you to think, I want you to think about what communication is.Communication is the number one professional skill. Communication. It's how you communicate. Just remember, people hate to be sold to, but they love to buy something, so that puts you in a quandary. How do I do this? It's very simple. When you walk up and you meet somebody, obviously. You're smiling.Smiling. You're smiling. Extend your hand. You're looking for that just to shake your hand, say hello, how you doing? And eye contact is very important. And whether you are the CEO or the janitor, that's what you do. You give the respect that they deserve. What you want to do is you want to square your body up to them. You don't want to talk to somebody with your shoulders.

Brandon [email protected] Sherwood President at EcoSolutions & Gladly Network Brandon Sherwood is a relationship-driven leader who somehow ended up running two businesses despite a healthy skepticism of most “business advice.” He’s spent the last decade growing EcoSolutions, a national leader in dental scrap refining, and more recently launched Gladly Network, a platform helping small businesses and their people connect with brands that actually care about the world around them. He’s a straight-shooter who values honesty over polish, relationships over transactions, and getting things done over talking about it. His superpower is helping people cut through the noise to focus on what really matters — building trust, solving problems, and doing good work with good people. Outside of work, he’s a husband, dad of four boys, and a reluctant introvert who’d still rather be coaching a soccer game than sitting through a networking dinner.What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?Human first networking vs. awkward cocktail partiesThe power of niche networksWhy honesty and transparency should be more present in networking.What are 2-3 things you would like to gain as a result of being on this podcast?A new network or audience, a different perspective on networking, and maybe to rule the worldAny website you wish to share with the audience?www.gladlynetwork.comAny social media links you wish to share with the audience?https://www.instagram.com/gladly.good/ and https://www.linkedin.com/company/gladly-network/Michael is a business networking expert specializing in enhancing professionals' networking and communication skills to drive profitability.
