🔒 The Importance of Verification and Trusted Referrals in Today’s Job Market 🔒 When I landed my first role with an Austin-based accelerator, it was a remote side hustle promising incredible growth opportunities. Excited to dive in, I joined without thorough verification. Unfortunately, the accelerator was later exposed for fraudulent activities, leaving me with a black mark on my resume. Reflecting on this experience, I realize how crucial verification and trusted referrals are in today’s landscape, where false claims are rampant. Just as platforms like TikTok face scrutiny over data privacy and security, professional opportunities are not immune to deception. In an age where opportunities abound yet authenticity is scarce, verifying companies and relying on credible referrals are more important than ever. This ensures alignment with reputable organizations and protects your professional reputation. TechCrunch recently covered Connyct, a new rival to TikTok that is gaining media attention for its gated onboarding and enhanced security practices. Similarly, The Proxi is a mobile app designed to streamline and secure networking and resource sharing between entrepreneurs and venture capitalists (VCs). By prioritizing verified connections and traceable introductions, Proxi aims to foster genuine relationships and eliminate the risks of fraud. In today's digital landscape, social media is NOT networking—Proxi bridges this gap by offering a trusted platform for meaningful professional connections. Let’s prioritize trust and verification to build a stronger, more reliable professional community. #Verification #Trust #ProfessionalNetworking #Entrepreneurship #VentureCapital #ProxiApp #CareerGrowth #JobSecurity #DataPrivacy #Security

What an amazing event C Store Tec was this week! "Community" became the word of the week at C store Tec. We often use words like "collaboration" or "circle back" as buzz or filler words without fully being intentional with the use of those words. Here is why "community" wasn't just a corporate buzz word this week and why you and your team should prioritize attending *C -Store Tec* next year. *You will have at least one aha moment. I had several that I'm open to sharing and having a call to do so* *You will meet tech suppliers that you probably didn't know were out there and ones that can help you solve for your business opportunities* *You will make connections with industry leaders on the retail and supply side* *You will gain exposure to indsustry leaders which may be more challenging at a less intimate conference* *You will learn something new. I learned a lot about Retail Media even outside of the separate Retail Media forum* I want to once again thank Art S. and Jeanie Hornung for allowing me to take the main stage to discuss Food and Bev strategy and how to use tech to enable that strategy. Shout out to my fellow C store tech board members for the partnership and insights. Looking forward to 2025! #cstoretech #informaconnect #csp

You think you can do it without networking? You can’t. Networking is about helping others. I know I’ve said this a lot, but the power of networking is REAL! Reflecting on our awesome week at Fabtech, it was incredible to meet new people and see familiar faces throughout the event. Having current customers stop by to chat was great, and some even brought their supply chain vendors along with them. Nothing speaks louder than when a current customer refers you to one of their partners. So, I’ll ask you—what have you done lately to connect with your current customers and meet new ones? Are you doing the same thing day in and day out, or are you thinking outside the box? #NetworkingMatters #CustomerConnections #IndustryEvents #Fabtech #MadeInAmerica
