EP:24 - Beyond the Follow: The Truth About Online vs. In-Person Networking

In today’s hyper-connected world, is your follower count really as valuable as you think? Or is real business still happening over in-person coffee chats? In this special episode of Top of Mind, host Hayley Westoby is joined by Sophie Hood (Founder of Soul Tonic) and Lauren Meisner (Founder of Centennial World & host of Infinite Scroll) for an unfiltered conversation on the evolution of networking in 2024. They dive deep into: The great debate: Is online or in-person networking more effective? The controversial truth: Your online presence might not be as important as you think. The biggest networking ‘icks’—from ghosting to “pick your brain” requests. The secret to building meaningful connections (that actually open doors). Why Gen Z is shifting back to in-person interactions—and how brands can keep up. If you've ever wondered whether to spend more time curating your LinkedIn or showing up to real-life events, this episode is for you.
