In a world increasingly interconnected by technology and social media, the age-old adage “It’s not what you know, but who you know” takes on new meaning. The concept and power of proximity, or being close to those with influence and connections, has never been more relevant. As platforms like Clubhouse facilitate unprecedented access to influencers and industry leaders, the stakes of networking and building relationships are higher.
