Your Network is Not Your Net Worth – It’s Your Career Insurance with Michelle Expert
In this punchy and perspective-shifting episode, we sit down with Michelle Expert to reframe one of the most overused career phrases: "Your network is your net worth."
Michelle argues that it's more than net worth — it's your career insurance. We explore how cultivating genuine, long-term professional relationships can protect, pivot, and propel your career in ways money can’t.
