In this solo episode, Faithann Basore unpacks what it really means to walk into a networking room filled with uncertainty — and why that “chaos” might actually be the best thing for your business.

Drawing from her blog post “Confidence Grows in the Chaos of Change,” Faithann reframes the nerves and unpredictability of networking as unbridled potential — the fertile ground where confidence, relationships, and opportunity are born.

If you’ve ever walked into a mixer or meeting feeling awkward, intimidated, or unsure, this episode will help you see that chaos isn’t confusion — it’s change waiting to happen.
