In This Episode – Building Your Network and the Power of Micro Partnerships – with Kurt Schmidt
In this interview, we’re talking about connectivity of a different sort – stepping up your networking game. No, not computer networking – professional networking, the cornerstone behind personal and professional success. The same mindset for intentional networking happens to follow the same motions that you’ll find in companies with a strong culture of innovation.
To do so, we’re sitting down with Kurt Schmidt, a guy who I first met as a project manager but is now president and a partner at digital strategy, design, and development agency, Foundry. Sounds like a good guy to know, right?
Together we talk about the impotence of building your network, the power of micro-partnerships, and what happens when we assume technology is the hardest part of the IoT landscape when people are, in fact, the source of the biggest challenges that most projects face.
