Barry Braunstein of Barry Braunstein Photography joins the Wicked Connected crew to share his thoughts on how networking fits into a effective marketing plan.

Barry's Message:

"Networking is fundamental to growing any small business - and it takes time. Don't expect instant results, you need to be in it for the long term. And there are different types of networking groups, each with their own pluses and minuses."

Barry's Bio:

"After a long, successful career in high technology marketing and sales, I decided to start a new career following a passion I've had since high school. I studied with some of the leading photographers in the industry to enhance my skills in areas such as lighting, posing, and facial expression coaching, and continue to learn by exploring new techniques, looks from other work I come across."

Rick Dumont joins the Wicked Connected crew to share his networking wisdom about listening, sharing experiences and bringing out the humanity of others.

Rick's Message:

"Networking should be fun and enlightening as one gains insight into new people, their pursuits, finding out what their needs are and finding out ways that you can help."

About Rick:

I started Sweaty Turtle Entertainment back in 2011 during the production of my second feature film as a way to offer my creative and my award winning journalism insights and experience to non-profits, small and large businesses as well as artists and musicians in order to help them further their efforts, audience reach, customer base increases and overall growth in their particular business path. Since that time, we have expanded our client base to: Wisconsin and New York as well as here in Boston and throughout New England.
