Robbie Samuels is an accomplished networking expert who has dedicated over a decade to teaching people the art of networking at conferences and events. After years of balancing his day job with speaking engagements, Robbie took the bold step of quitting his job to focus on networking full-time. This led him to create his own podcast, "On the Schmooze," which he has been hosting since its launch in 2016.
In 2017, Robbie released his first book, which focused on networking events and became a valuable resource for professionals seeking to build meaningful connections. His expertise and contributions didn't stop there - Robbie ran a successful group coaching program, authored articles for Harvard Business Review, and was even invited to give a TEDx talk.
Everything seemed to be falling into place for Robbie, however, just two months after his TEDx talk was published in January 2020, the pandemic struck, and the world shifted. Suddenly, networking became a challenge as everyone found themselves confined to their homes.
Despite the unforeseen circumstances, Robbie's passion for networking remained unwavering. He adapted to the new virtual landscape and continued to share his insights and strategies online, helping individuals navigate the world of remote networking. Robbie's story is a testament to his resilience and determination to empower others, proving that even in the face of adversity, networking remains a crucial skill for personal and professional growth.
