80. The Network Generation: From Introverts to Influencers w/ Podcast Hosts of The BEN Show Podcast

College and Career Ready with Coach Sonia

Today we feature an engaging conversation with Shia and Kennedy, young podcasters of the 'Ben show podcast,' exploring their journey into podcasting, their first live podcast experience, and insights into networking and career exploration.
They share their initial inspiration received from a business teacher's flyer, leading to their application and eventual selection for the podcast project. Additionally, the discussion touches on their live podcasting experience at OTC in Houston, Texas, emphasizing the learning curve and the importance of unedited, real-time communication.
Shia and Kennedy also dive into their previous interests and how these experiences broadened their career perspectives, emphasizing entrepreneurship, marketing, and exploring the oil and gas industry.
We discuss from our young people's perspective:

• evolution of their networking skills
• the significance of communication
• sharing practical advice on making connections

Lastly, the episode encapsulates their experiences with engaging in conversations, handling business cards, and the transformative impact of stepping out of their comfort zones.
