Emily Merrell, Founder & CEO Emily, also lovingly referred to as “20 questions” has always loved figuring out people’s stories. Upon graduating from Denison University , she moved to Buenos Aires to master her Spanish and worked in various industries (ask her about Malbec).
Following her return to New York City, she landed in the Fashion world specializing in Events & Marketing working at Ralph Lauren, Club Monaco, Tory Burch and INTERMIX. In 2014 she dreamt up Six Degrees Society and in 2016 she made her dream a full-time business.
She created Six Degrees Society (www.sixdegreessociety.com) a women's networking organization that focuses on taking the guesswork out of networking for women professionals through monthly programming in NYC, Chicago, LA, New Orleans, San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta, DC, Boston and Philly. At each event she handpicks every connection that the attendee meets during the 2 hour event. The programming varies from speed networking (4 matches) to workshops workshops such as wine tastings, career panels, SEO and branding presentations.
In her free time, you can find her exploring new restaurants, drinking bold bottles of wine, taking early morning workout classes, planning her next trip or playing the name game.
In this episode, you’ll learn about why asking questions are so important, how you can speed date for business, why networking is imperative to grow your business and why everyone should see a therapist!
