PBF47: Networking at Meetup Groups Near You and Away

By Bill Griggs and Kingsley Grant

Podcast By Friday Episode 47:

You may or may not have heard the term Meetup Groups. But as the name implies, it is a means by which you can connect with people especially those who are like-minded, to share ideas and learn from each other. It is also an opportunity to get to meet new people and thereby increase your circle of relationships.

One of the beauties of Meetup Groups, as mentioned in this episode, is the vast number of available meetings closeby to where you live. The ease of finding them is a plus.
