| A morning talking Networking with the Buford Business Alliance and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker | 19 Feb 2026 | 00:29:10 | |
Networking That Actually Converts: Body Language, Trust, and the Follow-Up System That Gets Responses Michael explains that while most people understand the sales cycle and their product, many are not taught how to network properly, and argues that follow-up is more important than the initial meeting. The episode covers the purpose of networking (to build business and make money), the idea that people like to buy but hate being sold to, and practical in-person networking techniques such as smiling, eye contact, politeness to everyone from janitor to CEO, confident posture, clear enunciation, active listening with a pause, and avoiding distracting phone use. It outlines how to approach groups at networking events by listening first, contributing thoughtfully, then shifting focus to others using the FORM framework (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Message) to find common ground and build trust—emphasizing the mantra: know you, like you, trust you, do business with you. The speaker contrasts extroverts and introverts, recommending introverts bring a “wingman” to help with introductions until they gain confidence. The core system is a structured follow-up process: send an initial thank-you message that evening, mail a handwritten thank-you note the next morning, wait three days, then email again with reminders of where they met and what they discussed, aiming for multiple touches (noting it often takes 8–15 touches). Additional follow-up ideas include connecting on social platforms, providing value through relevant articles before asking for coffee, tracking contacts in a CRM with consistent outreach, and avoiding spammy mass emails in favor of personalized messages. The speaker also discusses post-pandemic networking as more relational than transactional, limiting the number of business cards collected to ensure proper follow-up, practicing continuously, and using AI as a tool (not a replacement) alongside content like articles, podcasts, and courses to stay visible. The episode closes by stating that lack of results is usually a communication problem—how someone sells and presents themselves—and reiterates the importance of handwritten thank-you notes. 00:00 Why Networking (and Follow-Up) Beats the Traditional Sales Cycle 01:11 The Real Goal of Networking: Solve Problems and Create Value 03:18 People Love to Buy, Hate to Be Sold To (Sales Approach Shift) 04:10 First Impressions That Win: Smile, Eye Contact, and Respect Everyone 06:43 Confidence & Body Language: Posture, Hands, and Clear Enunciation 09:44 How to Work a Networking Table: Listen First, Then Join In 11:33 The FORM Method + Servant’s Heart: Get Them Talking 13:31 Build Trust Fast: Find Common Ground in Events and 1-on-1 Meetings 16:13 Introvert vs Extrovert Strategies: Bring a Wingman and Practice 18:04 The Follow-Up System: Email + Handwritten Thank-You Notes + Touches 23:02 Scale Your Network Online: LinkedIn, Reels, YouTube, and Meetup 25:38 Practice Your Message, Use AI Wisely, and Final Q&A on Spam Emails Michael is a business networking expert specializing in enhancing professionals' networking and communication skills to drive profitability.

| Networking Unleashed: An Interview with Calvin Schwartz and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker | 30 Jan 2026 | 00:39:04 | |
Calvin Schwartz Please share a brief Bio. Meet Calvin Barry Schwartz: 6'5" tall, and impossible to miss, literally, which is why sneaking into a scene in Meryl Streep's movie, "One True Thing," was such an achievement. This Jersey guy has nine lives and receipts to prove it: survived a VW rolling over five times at 65 mph (walked away without a scratch), got mysteriously healed of a devastating knee injury walking out of a church in Nazareth (four witnesses), and once lost 100 pounds in 2½ months like he was possessed. After selling eyeglasses for a billionaire for 25 years, this Newark ex-pharmacist watched "Casablanca" for the 54th time and thought, "I could write something like that." So, he did. Twice. His second novel, "There's a Tortoise in My Hair: A Journey to Spirit," earned the Kirkus Star and comparisons to Philip Roth, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Irving, transforming a midlife crisis into a deeply personal and darkly humorous meditation on meaning, mortality, and the mysterious forces that guide us through our darkest moments. Not bad for a guy who started his teaching career at Rutgers at 74, when most people are perfecting their golf game. Speaking of Rutgers, Calvin is on the Advisory Committee of the Women’s Health Institute at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. These days, Calvin practices what he preaches: flexitarian since 1975, zero coronary artery plaque, LDL cholesterol at 45, and sharper than ever. He's conducted seven paranormal investigations (ghosts, orbs, the works), turned down Steven Spielberg twice (still regretting it), almost tried out for the Chicago Bulls in 1976, and hosts a global podcast with 700+ interviews/videos. He recently wrote to Pope Leo XIV about his "inexplicable spirituality" because why not? If anyone could understand it, this Pope could. Calvin's third book is "Ten Things I Learned from the Billionaire." Spoiler: longevity techniques work. He's living proof. What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?

| Networking Unleashed: An Interview with Andi Shaughnessy / Danielle Carter and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker | 26 Jan 2026 | 00:25:48 | |
Andi Shaughnessy / Danielle Carter Please share a brief Bio. In 2011, our father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. At the time, Danielle was a full-time mom, raising three kids while helping with the business when she could, and Andi was building a career in sports television. As our father’s health declined in the spring of 2012, we faced a life-changing decision—whether to take on ExpressIt, the company he had built. When he passed that summer, the business entered a period of uncertainty, and we made the choice to step in. At that point, ExpressIt was operating with just 13 drivers, two operations managers, and a handful of accounts across Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Despite having no prior business experience, we leaned on what we knew: hard work, resilience, and a people-first approach. Fast forward to today, ExpressIt has grown into a thriving operation with over 200 drivers and a 14-person management team, servicing customers throughout the Northeast. Our journey has been anything but traditional, but it has reinforced what we believe at our core: success is built on trust, strong relationships, and always delivering on our promises.

| Networking Unleashed: S1E14 An Interview with Jackson Calame and Michael A Forman | 02 Feb 2025 | 00:32:36 | |
Jackson Calame 210-683-9307 Chief Level Conversation, Executive Leadership Behaviors, and Dysfunctional Team vs Championship Team. Jackson teaches visionary entrepreneurs how to unlock sustainable revenue growth and expand their legacy by becoming a Power Brand in their market. 96% of businesses fail within the first 10 years. Jackson teaches businesses, not only how to avoid failure, but how to win, by becoming a true leader in their market. Having worked in, launched, and scaled several successful startups in the b2b industry & SaaS space, servicing thousands of SMBs, Jackson has seen firsthand that even the best operators struggle and often fail. The problem begins with poorly managed growth, due to establishing a weak foundation, which inevitably leads to collapse. Jackson and his teams prepare business owners and executives to bridge their growth gaps. Collectively, we often fill the roles of COO, CMO, or CEO during this transformative process. Your key to success as growth occurs and operations shift, will require that you evolve. Developing an incredible culture, built around a clear vision dedicated to customer satisfaction, must be the focal point of a company's mission in order to ultimately thrive. Most operators think they are prepared for this. The truth is, you aren't. Personal growth will be necessary. Personnel shifts will occur. Cuts will likely be made as accountability begins to expose who your contenders are, and who your pretenders are. It’s not personal, it’s business. And in order for everyone to win, a business can only afford to have leaders who pull their own weight, who add value to the mission, not anchors who will hold you back. If your business is ready for a powerful shift that empowers you to maximize your potential, Jackson and his team members are the key players you need on your team, to make it happen.

| Networking Unleashed: An Interview with Daria Rudnik and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker | 22 Dec 2025 | 00:28:02 | |
Daria Rudnik Please share a brief Bio. Daria Rudnik is a Team Architect and Executive Leadership Coach, author of CLICKING: A Team Building Strategy for Overloaded Leaders Who Want Stronger Team Trust, Better Results, and More Time, and co-author of The AI Revolution: Thriving Within Civilization’s Next Big Disruption. A former Chief People Officer and ex-Deloitte professional, she brings over 15 years of international executive experience in tech and telecom. Having lived in three countries and worked with clients across six continents, Daria has helped leaders and organizations navigate global financial crises, wars, and the COVID-19 pandemic. For the past five years, she has focused on helping busy leaders escape work overload by building self-sufficient, high-trust teams. She does this through a mix of team and leadership coaching, organizational consulting, assessments, and an AI-powered coach she developed. What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about? A strong team is a connected team — especially in times of pressure: The best-performing teams don’t operate in a bubble. They’re connected — to other teams, to clients, to key partners. In this topic, we talk about why external collaboration isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s a business advantage. Leaders can play a key role in helping teams build those bridges. Great leaders aren’t just well connected — they build networks around their teams: When only the leader has the contacts, the team stays dependent. But when a leader acts as a connector, everyone grows. This conversation explores how leaders can open doors for their teams — introducing them to people, opportunities, and insights that increase trust, motivation, and business impact.

| Networking Unleashed: An Interview with Michael A Forman, Public Speaker | 20 Nov 2025 | 00:32:22 | |
Welcome to Networking Unleashed, building Proper Connections. I'm Michael Forman, and today is episode 100. Yes, you heard me correctly. 100 Chances to Ruin a handshake and 100 Chances to fix them Instead. So I'm flying solo today. Which means no guests to blame and all the best shortcuts to share straight with you. Each week, I give you tactical, no fluff strategies that turn small, talk into real revenue, and this one message or these messages gets you a lunch, a single question that turns conferences into conferences, chaos into meaningful connections. If you want fewer, awkward science silences and more closed deals, you're in the right place. So stay with me. I'll give you razor sharp actions you can use today, and a short challenge at the end. Make life worth living, make networking, less exhausting and more profitable. Now I'm gonna run you through a few things that I normally go through during a workshop, and my first question is, why? Why does everyone network? And I firmly believe that networking is the base of all businesses. So what's your ultimate goal? Of course it's to make more money. Otherwise, why are you in business? But there's more to network networking than that. It's having a giver's game, it's having a servant's heart. It's doing good for somebody else. 📍 📍 📍 📍 📍 📍 You are a problem solver. That's right. So you have to find out what the person that you're speaking to, what's their problem, because you have to have in the back of your head some sort of solution. And when you can do that, then you've made it. Let me just tell you just a few items, a few things, because when you're networking, don't just think networking as a business. Think of networking in your everyday life. And so when you network, you go shopping for your jeans, go shopping for food, you're talking with people online, you're talking with people in the aisles. First things first. Make smile. Make it like you're a happy person. Whether you are or not doesn't make a difference, but you know what? Because people will react to you much better when you're a happy person. And so you just, if you're in line with somebody and they're talking about it. I used to be in the mortgage industry and I would always listen. I would always listen. If people are talking about buying a house or selling a house, renting a house, I would always turn around, give my two seconds worth of information, and I turn back around. If they were interested, they tap me on the shoulder and they say, you know what about that? So anyway, so that goes a long way with networking. But you know what? Whenever you go anywhere, you have business cards, right? Don't forget your business cards. You put them in your pocket or whatever else. And whenever the time comes, you can always give your business card. What's more important than actually meeting the person. It's your follow up. I have a follow up strategy. I call it my secret sauce, the follow up. So I will get into that maybe, but I will get into that. So I want you to think, I want you to think about what communication is. Communication is the number one professional skill. Communication. It's how you communicate. Just remember, people hate to be sold to, but they love to buy something, so that puts you in a quandary. How do I do this? It's very simple. When you walk up and you meet somebody, obviously. You're smiling. Smiling. You're smiling. Extend your hand. You're looking for that just to shake your hand, say hello, how you doing? And eye contact is very important. And whether you are the CEO or the janitor, that's what you do. You give the respect that they deserve. What you want to do is you want to square your body up to them. You don't want to talk to somebody with your shoulders. | |||
| An afternoon speaking to the East Cobb Business Association with Michael A Forman | 27 Jan 2026 | 00:28:52 | |
The video script focuses on the significance of effective networking for business success.
