How many authors do you know who love networking?

(So not raising my hand.)

Let’s face it—a lot of us are introverts, and networking events where we have to do a lot of small talk are probably right up there in popularity with a canceled publishing contract. Am I right?

What if I told you there was a better way to expand your network to create and nurture connections?

Well, there is. And my guest today is going to tell you how.

Devin Sizemore is a serial entrepreneur and the author of the book Connection Expansion, which delivers a foolproof strategy on identifying and cultivating high-value connections that can help your career or business.

He’s run a bunch of businesses—including a cat cafe!! Which of course we talk A LOT about— and he’s honed the art of networking while building those ventures. His strategies are perfect for authors looking to build their brand through meaningful connections.

We covered:

• Why you need a network, especially as an author
• How to manage your networking time effectively so it’s not taking up too many hours of your writing time
• Common mistakes in networking
• What it was like to write his first book
• And – what it was like to run a cat cafe!

And so much more. If you’re looking to get your name out there—and really, what author isn’t?—you don’t want to miss this episode.
