00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So I.

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Want you to pay close attention to this about how

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: technology is changing the world, how you could take advantage

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: of the.

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Other aspect of technology.

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: I went and did a really great pre Super Bowl

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: party event, and then I have been at so many

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: things from musical events to conferences and various other things,

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: and people ask me all the time, why do you

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: go so many places?

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: Do you have Zoom?

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: You have email, you have WhatsApp, you have everything? And

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: you know what, I realized lately that.

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: As connected we are are not connected anymore. And I

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: have found that, especially.

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: After the world moving to every corners of the world

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: and people having liberty to stay at home view with

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 2: their families when they work, people also are way more

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: eager that when they are in front of people.

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: They can connect to people.

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: And the deals and the catching up that I have

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: done in very small periods of time have paid huge

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: dividends over the last two years.

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Do you see some communities may meet.

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: At churches, some meet on golf courses, some meet sports games,

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: and some meet other places and networking events. I'm not

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: really into sports, but I do love to go to the.

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl pre event parties.

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: Why because when you're on a zoom across from somebody,

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: they're not going to turn around and look and see

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: if anybody looking when you're at what ten people in

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: the room and say, you know, I don't really like

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: this deal. Yeah, they may hate you in a chat,

38
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: but they they may not want to do that because

39
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: somebody else may be looking at them. They also don't

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: want to say, hey, you know what you might after

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: this meaning we go somewhere to take a walk on.

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what I really feel about this situation.

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: We are packed animals by nature, and when will somebody

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: just blurt out all of their concerns on a zoom.

45
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: Well, you have a lot of things going on.

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: First of all, they may have the dog in the background,

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: they may have a whole bunch of people watching them.

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: They don't want to be the person that holds up

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: the zoom. And by the way, it is four fifty

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: five and that zoom is supposed to be over five.

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: Take advantage of these opportunities and don't travel only.

52
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: Within your own circle.

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: If you are somebody like me in clothing and manufacturing, well,

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: I may want to go to a tech conference to

55
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: find out more about how to market I may want

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: to go to a music conference to find about who needs.

57
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: To wear my clothes.

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: Or I may need to go to maybe a construction

59
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: trade show because of the applications I use and my

60
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: clothes can actually go for uniforms or boots or what

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: people are using in the construction field. And you don't

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: need to know only people in fashion, because an accountant

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: can be an accountant in any field, a computer programmer,

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: a coder, a influencer, they can also cross fields. There

65
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: are the fundamental feels that work in every category of

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: where you are or where you're trying to go. So

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: I urge you to take that time and get out

68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: of your comfort zone and go out there and shake

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: the hand, look somebody in the eye, give them a hug,

70
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: have a good old dad joke with them, and I

71
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: promise you you will move faster up the ladder than

72
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: your colleagues that are only saying you want to get

73
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: on a zoom I text.

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: You then you see the email and there you have it.

75
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: So tune in every week or more episodes of that

76
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: Moment with Damon John Peace
