Why Digital Networking Deserves the Name 'NotWorking' - Josh Polgardi (Tripally.io) The Anti-Linked Guy

Join us as we sit down with Josh Polgardi, famously known as "The Anti-LinkedIn Guy," to discuss the flaws in traditional digital networking.

Tripally is for in-person networkers only who want to bypass the digital dance and build the trust that leads to relationships, which in turn is the cornerstone of genuine networking and business success.
