Stop Networking Wrong: Build Real Connections That Actually Convert

In this episode of the Network Build Grow Podcast, host Melissa Taylor sits down with Samie Worthington, co-founder of EMILY Revolutionary Marketing Group and a no-BS marketing expert who specializes in AI, SEO, and the future of search (AEO/GEO). Samie shares why authentic networking—not cold pitching or forced follow-ups—is still one of the most powerful drivers of sustainable business growth. Drawing from real-life experience, she explains how entrepreneurs can stop getting in their own way, build trust faster, and create a strong reputation that naturally leads to referrals. This conversation dives into the idea of a personal board of directors, the importance of having key “wingmen” in your network, and why quality connections matter far more than collecting business cards. Samie also breaks down how being yourself, giving first, and respecting your time creates deeper relationships and better long-term results.
