A podcast interview with Garrett Ervin and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker

Описание: Podcasting as a Relationship Engine | Networking Unleashed with Michael Forman & Garrett (Business Radio X)
Host Michael Forman interviews Garrett from Business Radio X about using podcasting as a relationship engine rather than a vanity project. Garrett shares his career shift from 30+ years in environmental testing labs to buying an established Business Radio X operation and building roots through networking in Johns Creek and Gwinnett County. They discuss why meaningful B2B networking starts with trust, a servant’s heart, and personal connection; how podcasting expands reach beyond local events; and why being a host can deepen conversations and create referral opportunities. Garrett emphasizes overcoming fear of the microphone, using simple practice like talking in a mirror, and maintaining consistency to build credibility. They also cover sharing episodes to stay top of mind, and focusing on relatable content, regular publishing, and relationship-building before sales conversations.
