It Pays to Be Connected: How Relationships Fuel Real Success with Hannah Schwartz

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with ultimate connector and community builder Hannah Schwartz, founder of Connected — by Start with Hannah.

Hannah shares her powerful journey from being bullied and feeling out of place in school to standing confidently on stages with major brands and building a platform that brings entrepreneurs, creatives, and industry leaders together.

She opens up about the locker-room moment in Grade 12 that sparked her vision, the importance of authenticity, and how early experiences shaped her deep commitment to helping people find their circle.

Together, Mike "C-Roc" and Hannah dive into the difference between true connection and people-pleasing, the courage it takes to outgrow relationships, and why being unapologetically yourself is the key to sustainable success.

Hannah also breaks down how connection fuels business growth, why even the best strategies fail without the right relationships, and how her Connected Network is changing the way people collaborate across industries.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that no matter how driven or talented you are, it truly pays to be connected.Website-www.startwithhannah.com
