If networking feels awkward, transactional, or straight-up exhausting—you’re not alone. But this week on Rocky Mountain Marketing, I’m chatting with Melissa Snow, business relationship strategist and founder of Powerful Women Rising, to show you a better way.

Inside this episode, we unpack:

Why traditional networking feels so fake—and how to fix it
How real relationships grow your business faster than any ad
What new entrepreneurs need to know before stepping into the room
The secret to follow-up that doesn’t feel slimy
How to use networking to build your community (not just your client list)

If you’re ready to ditch the awkwardness and start building genuine connections that fuel your business, this episode is for you.
