In the modern world, technology, especially in communications, has made it less and less necessary to actually meet people in-person for any reason. We can do anything we need to through skype, facetime, google hangouts, or another app, and we can even use these same apps to keep up with our friends and family.
But today’s episode is about why that is simply not enough! While practically speaking you can accomplish a lot of the same thing virtually, there are so many other aspects of what an in-person meeting does for a relationship that will be completely lost if we move further and further towards all-virtual meetings.
So make a habit of attending live events, meeting people in-person, and developing relationships in this way, to create more impact, speed up the process of learning about others, and forge deeper relationships.
