  • Hello and welcome to Networking Unleashed: Building Profitable Connections.

    đŸŽ™ïž *“Welcome back to the show, folks! I’m your host, Michael A. Forman, and you’re listening to the podcast where networking is more than just awkward handshakes and bad coffee—it’s an art and a talent. But here’s the twist: it’s an art and talent you can actually learn. Yes, even if you’re the person hiding in the corner at every event pretending to check emails!

    Networking isn’t just a nice skill to have—it’s a game-changer. When you get good at it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner. More connections, more opportunities, more profits—it’s like unlocking a cheat code for life.

    So, whether you’re the life of the party or the ‘let-me-just-stay-home-and-text’ type, we’ve got something for you. Stick around, and let’s turn those awkward small-talk moments into big wins!”*

  • Hello and welcome to Networking Unleashed: Building Profitable Connections.

    đŸŽ™ïž *“Welcome back to the show, folks! I’m your host, Michael A. Forman, and you’re listening to the podcast where networking is more than just awkward handshakes and bad coffee—it’s an art and a talent. But here’s the twist: it’s an art and talent you can actually learn. Yes, even if you’re the person hiding in the corner at every event pretending to check emails!

    Networking isn’t just a nice skill to have—it’s a game-changer. When you get good at it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner. More connections, more opportunities, more profits—it’s like unlocking a cheat code for life.

    So, whether you’re the life of the party or the ‘let-me-just-stay-home-and-text’ type, we’ve got something for you. Stick around, and let’s turn those awkward small-talk moments into big wins!”*

    Please share a brief Bio to be read on the podcast.

    After 20 years of staying home to raise 2 children, Celia received the call from Alli Neal, co-founder of Revved Up Kids to come help with the organization. Celia graduated from the University of Georgia with a Management Information Systems degree. She worked for over 10 years for several hardware and software companies before deciding to stay home to raise a family. When the call came from Alli, she decided it was time to move forward. She started as an assistant trainer and since then has moved up so that she is an integral part of the organization. The title is Programs Director, but since Revved Up Kids is a non-profit, she is still an assistant trainer, a networker, a fundraiser and a programs coordinator. Many different hats are worn in the organization.

    What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?

    Revved Up Kids and the importance of prevention. The networking and relationships that are required to be able to fundraise
