Pinch me. Every other person I speak to at this wealth "festival" on the beach is a Gridline prospect. In an interesting twist, I was invited to a dinner hosted by Apollo Global Management, Inc. Dan Flynn first heard of Gridline from an event I put together with Emory University's Center for Alternative Investments. (https://lnkd.in/gsRyAi-6). Sometimes I wonder whether I should be doing such marketing activities and it's nice to be reminded that they work. The dinner was co-hosted by Stephanie Drescher & Michael Sidgmore. Hot topics: 1️⃣ 60!! Apollo has 60 people focused on the wealth management channel. A great signal that Gridline is focused on a large and growing channel. 2️⃣ 3% - The average individual using a wealth manager only has this small percentage of their net worth in alternatives. With the expanded definition of alternatives (anything that isn't bonds or equities), this percentage will go much higher. 3️⃣ GP Stakes Investing as one of the more interesting ways to gain exposure to alternatives. Gridline just launched a product here last week! The 10-20% ownership stakes entitle investors to a portion of the fees and investment returns generated by each of the managers in which we are invested. 4️⃣ Education geared towards Financial Advisors - AND their clients. I'm excited to check out the resources at apolloacademy.com . 5️⃣ Innovation - Always a treat to talk about technology, Artificial Intelligence - and yes, Crypto. 6️⃣ , 7️⃣ & 8️⃣ Moved the ball forward with three prospects in attendance, including one that I had just met for a formal one-on-one meeting earlier - and another that has been in touch with my awesome colleague, Chad Cox.

Networking as a student is so out of my comfort zone. Going and striking a conversation with random people in various industries is something I find both difficult and enjoyable at the same time. One thing which these events really help in is to build the skill of active listening. When I first started attending networking events, I felt overwhelmed by the prospect of approaching professionals and engaging in meaningful conversations. The fear of saying the wrong thing or not being able to keep up with the discussion often held me back. However, as I attended more events and forced myself out of my comfort zone, I began to realize the value of active listening. Active listening isn't just about hearing what someone says; it's about fully understanding their perspective, thoughts, and emotions. In a networking setting, it's crucial for building rapport, establishing connections, and learning from others' experiences. I'm excited to continue honing my active listening skills and building meaningful connections in the vibrant community of professionals on LinkedIn and beyond!

Diving into the world of networking as a student has been like stepping onto a lively dance floor—it's both challenging and exhilarating. Mingling with individuals from diverse industries is a delightful yet tricky performance, an art form I'm still perfecting. Engaging in spontaneous conversations at these events is a rollercoaster of difficulty and enjoyment. Initially, networking felt like entering a maze where approaching seasoned professionals seemed like a daunting task. The fear of stumbling over words or lagging in conversations created a mental roadblock. Yet, as I pushed past these initial hesitations and ventured beyond my comfort zone, a transformative realization unfolded—the power of active listening. Active listening, beyond merely hearing words, became my secret weapon. It's the key to unlocking rapport, forging connections, and mining insights from others' experiences in the networking realm. Excited to sharpen my active listening skills, I look forward to weaving meaningful connections in the vibrant professional tapestry on LinkedIn and beyond! Let's connect and embark on this journey of mutual discovery ! Thanks to Engineers Australia & Young Engineers Australia SA. #networking #engineers #building #studentlife

Crazy to think it’s been two years already… A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Torev Motors and this crazy dream of mine! I believe it’s customary for founders to share a lesson or two on LinkedIn for milestones like this, so here are a few of mine… 1) Don’t mistake hard work with progress. Be specific with your actions, milestones speak louder than hours worked. 2) Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Resilience is a key to success and isn’t learned when everything is easy. 3) Make time for more than just work each day. Your relationships, health, and mental well-being need effort to keep healthy, too. Here’s to another big year to come!

Hackathon is a combination of two words: Hack+Marathon 🤓 Experimenting with new ideas, exploring new technologies, building prototypes of your products within a short amount of time is the way to foster innovation and creativity. Do you also know that hackathons are growing in popularity, in fact, a recent study found that 40% of companies use a hackathon hiring process as part of their recruitment strategies What are the benefits? 💡 This can lead to innovative solutions that might not come from a traditional work environment.  💡The time constraints, competitive spirit, and collaborative nature of hackathons can encourage creativity, quick decision-making, and the exchange of ideas. 💡As a team, you work towards achieving a higher purpose, a goal that surpasses the individual concept of sharing knowledge and accomplishing great achievements. 💡It boosts inspiration and productivity. Thank you Husain Al-Badry 🇵🇸 for the fantastic video! It's thrilling to see the vibrant environment brimming with excellent ideas!
