It was great to meet you at the UBC event. What a great site you have here!

I mentioned the website with all of the interesting business ideas. The website is http://www.springwise.com.

If nothing else, it’s a good read every week.

"Networking" is something that I'm always doing, whether I know it or not, and I'd much rather just be real about the whole thing. Otherwise, you're in this crowd of people, and everyone has this expectation that each person is in it for themselves. That's what turns me off from those functions. Not that it's true, mind you, but that the expectation is there.

As a fellow non-traditionalist I have baulked at networking. It's so true that you need to find your niche. For me, after I retrained as a naturopath I got the opportunity to revisit some skills from a 'previous life' as a dj on a university radio station. Now (and for the past 16 years) I get the opportunity to chat about natural health on Australia's most popular Public Radio station. Apart from being able to be involved in an old passion, radio, I have an audience of mostly like minded individuals. A perfect marriage of public education and business. I loved this article.
