Overview
Feeling isolated on your entrepreneurial journey? You're not alone. In this special episode, Dr. Charlotte Huntley extends a personal invitation to join an exclusive virtual networking event designed specifically for public health entrepreneurs and interdisciplinary health leaders.
After attending several in-person conferences and experiencing the power of face-to-face connection, Dr. Huntley recognized something crucial: the public health entrepreneurship journey can feel incredibly lonely. That's why she's creating a space for listeners of this podcast to come together, turn on their cameras, and truly connect with others who understand the unique challenges of building health-focused businesses.
This isn't just another Zoom call. It's an opportunity to meet fellow visionaries who are working at the intersection of public health and other industries. Whether you've been in business for years or you're just starting out, you'll have the chance to practice your elevator pitch, share your story, and discover potential collaborators and long-term connections. Some of the strongest business relationships and friendships start at events just like this one.
Dr. Huntley shares why networking events matter, how they've shaped her own professional relationships over the past eight years of podcasting, and what you can expect from this gathering. If you're ready to expand your network, feel less alone in your journey, and connect with a community that truly gets what you do, this episode and the upcoming event are for you.

Takeaways
In-person and virtual connections strengthen professional relationships. While social media and email keep us connected, face-to-face interactions (even virtual ones) deepen those bonds and create lasting partnerships.
Entrepreneurship doesn't have to be lonely. Networking events provide reassurance by connecting you with others on similar journeys, regardless of where you are in your business timeline.
Your elevator pitch matters. Being able to clearly introduce yourself, what you do, and who you serve is a critical skill that networking events help you practice and refine.
Long-term relationships start with simple introductions. Many successful business partnerships and friendships begin at networking events where people simply show up and share their stories.
Community engagement leads to unexpected opportunities. When Dr. Huntley started podcasting eight years ago, connecting with her community early on created relationships that continue to grow and provide value today.
You don't have to fit a perfect mold to participate. Even if you're not sure your work qualifies as "public health," if you're getting value from this podcast and working in health-focused spaces, you're invited to join.
Taking action is simple. Expressing interest through the event form is the first step to breaking isolation and building meaningful professional connections before year's end.
