Episode 55: Networking in Unbridled Potential

In this solo episode, Faithann Basore unpacks what it really means to walk into a networking room filled with uncertainty — and why that “chaos” might actually be the best thing for your business.

Drawing from her blog post “Confidence Grows in the Chaos of Change,” Faithann reframes the nerves and unpredictability of networking as unbridled potential — the fertile ground where confidence, relationships, and opportunity are born.

If you’ve ever walked into a mixer or meeting feeling awkward, intimidated, or unsure, this episode will help you see that chaos isn’t confusion — it’s change waiting to happen.

🧭 Key Takeaways

• Chaos = Potential: Networking “chaos” isn’t disorder — it’s where new opportunities, collaborations, and referrals begin to take shape.

• The Two Questions to Ask Before You Walk In:

  1. What opportunities are in this room for me?

  2. What opportunities do I have for others that I just don’t know about yet?

• Networking Is Change: Every conversation moves your business — and someone else’s — forward. You’re always growing toward something new.

• The Sifter Analogy: Just like soil being sifted to make room for new roots, the uncomfortable moments in networking refine you for deeper relationships.

• Reframing Awkward Interactions: Even “bad” conversations teach resilience, self-awareness, and better questions to ask next time.
