In this episode, we hear about Mason’s experience at New York Fashion Week (not on the catwalk, sadly) and the fellas share some of their best tips around networking, dealing with problem clients, and breaking through plateaus when building a brand.

It all kicks off with a discussion about how to get in tight with celebrities and A-list influencers in your space, without coming off as sleazy or creepy. Then, the boys talk about dealing with nightmare clients and how to shore up your filtering systems. Finally, they talk about the value of consistency and how sometimes your audience growth efforts finally pop after weeks (or months) of frustration.

Tune in if you want to learn how to effectively network and build relationships that can propel your career forward, or if you’re struggling to build your personal brand and want some motivation to see it through to the finish line.

“If you have spent two, three months doing something consistently and nothing's actually happening for you, that doesn't mean that it's actually dead.”

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

• Networking With Influencers And Celebrities – The boys talk about how to connect with influential people in a niche without feeling like a creep. They emphasize treating high profile people like a friend, not an idol, and emphasize leading with valuable support that has no strings attached.
  
• How To Stand Out In Someone’s Inbox – Chase shares a cold email that broke through the noise and got his attention. The guys share their thoughts on how to make a genuine connection with an influential person who doesn’t even know you exist yet.
  
• Filtering Out An Dealing With Problem Clients – Chase and Mason talk about what filters they have in place to weed out poor-fit clients, and how they handle the situation whenever a seemingly good client turns into a nightmare account. You can’t prevent 100% of bad-fit experiences, but their advice can help you minimize your exposure to high stress, low value engagements.
  
• The Importance of Consistency For Audience Growth – Finally, the boys emphasize patience and consistency when it comes to building your audience. They emphasize that it often takes weeks or months of effort and experimentation to find the perfect approach that eventually leads to rapid growth. Don’t give up digging right before you get to the gold!
