In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with global speaker, strategist, and author Lirone Glikman to uncover the underestimated power of authentic business relationships. Lirone shares how founders often miss the mark by prioritizing product over people, and why early relationship-building can be a game-changer. She unpacks her signature Human Factor Method, a six-pillar framework designed to help anyone—from solo founders to global execs—build meaningful, strategic connections that lead to real business outcomes. From cultural insights to practical hacks like the Q&A tactic, this conversation will shift the way you think about networking and personal branding.
