00:00 - 00:22 \"When it comes to networking, it feels like a chore. I say the word and it feels dirty. Like in my body, I feel the word networking and I don't like it. But at the end of the day, when I change it to relationship building, I get the warm fuzzies. So, it's a little bit of a mindset shift. It's really looking at it as a form of connecting, and connecting is a form of self-care, which is something we all need to be doing.” — Amy Vaughan
