Things are bought, and ideas are sold. But don’t mistake transactions for doing business. Relationships form the foundation of business and create more opportunity and wealth than any secret or hunch ever will.

I’m Kurt McLaughlin and I’m so pleased to meet you! Today, I’m releasing into the world the first episode of Take It Personally – a podcast focused on leveraging connections in a disconnected world, by diving deep into business, relationships, and trust in this touchscreen world.

I do believe that relationships are the key to success in life, at home, and in business, and all of us have to make an effort to cultivate them and attract the right people into our worlds – so listen to this episode, to learn how you can better connect with the individuals around you.

In this episode, you will learn:

• A little bit about my background. (01:26)
• How relationships are influenced by the way we communicate. (04:04)
• Creating meaningful relationships is how we get ahead. (06:35)
• Building relationships means thinking about what you can provide for the other party. (08:18)
• A relationship gets formed after you meet someone at least three times. (10:35)
• Every person you meet impacts your future connections and creates opportunities that you never knew existed. (19:29)

Let’s connect!
