You Can’t Network Your Way Out of a Nervous Breakdown
Manage episode 484750471 series 3492327
Tired of cold DMs, fake funnels, and forced connections?
Mike Ashburner aka The Redneck Connector went from nearly homeless during COVID to building Hounds of Business, a trust-first community flipping the script on traditional sales. In this raw, real conversation, we unpack why spray-and-pray marketing burns out high achievers (like you), and how a single mindset shift “who over how” can transform your business in 20 minutes a day.
Whether you're a founder sick of being fake, or a high-performing woman silently collapsing behind success, this episode will hit deep.
🎯 Topics covered:
- Why you feel like a football player at a baseball game in business
- How “farming” trust beats “hunting” leads
- What happens when you treat clients like relationships, not transactions
- How to find your people—without forcing a brand that isn’t you
This is your permission slip to stop performing, and start connecting.

Listen, if you're a female executive who just listened to another incredible transformation story on Rice Me Issues and thought "That's amazing... but could I actually do that?"
Stop right there.
That little voice whispering you're not good enough? It's lying.
Here's the thing every single guest Baz Porter interviews on this show started exactly where you are right now. Struggling with self-worth. Questioning their abilities. Wondering if they had what it takes.
But here's what separates the women who break through from those who stay stuck: they take action on their inner game FIRST.
That's why Bass created something special just for high-achieving women like you who are tired of playing small despite their success.
It's a FREE 5-Day Meditation Series designed specifically for female executives who are ready to silence that inner critic once and for all.
No fluff. No generic affirmations. Just proven techniques that work for busy, ambitious women who need results fast.
Ready to finally feel as confident on the inside as you appear on the outside?
