Episode 24: A Conversation with Todd Cohen

6 Degrees or Less

I sat down this week with Todd Cohen to talk about #networking, the power of creating and cultivating meaningful work relationships (aka #relationshiping), his unique spin on sales, and much more. Although we've never met in-person, we share a bond and philosophy around networking and its importance in business and work life today. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it!
