Connecting with new audiences isn’t harder because there are fewer options. It’s harder because there are too many.
Business owners and professionals are juggling in-person events, digital platforms, social media, AI tools, and partnership opportunities, often without clarity on what actually drives connection, trust, or growth. Activity feels productive, but impact is inconsistent. Messages get diluted. Relationships stay shallow.
This Ugly Talk focuses on how connection, communication, and collaboration are really evolving and how to reach new audiences with intention, clarity, and credibility in a crowded, fast-changing landscape.
