What happens when a reclusive CIO hits a personal and professional crossroads? For Andrew Brummer, it was the catalyst for an extraordinary transformation—one that turned desperation into connection and a failing job search into a vibrant network of 12,000+ relationships based on a common purpose.

In this deeply human and inspiring episode, Lisa McGuire sits down with Andrew to explore his journey from operating in the shadows to leading with authenticity, compassion, and clarity.

Andrew opens up about the humbling lessons learned on LinkedIn, the radical power of giving without expectation, and why the key to leadership in today’s world is vulnerability—not visibility.

Andrew’s story is more than a personal reinvention—it's a masterclass in how to lead magnanimously. Whether you’re stuck in your own career pivot or wondering how to show up more powerfully online, this conversation will reframe everything you thought you knew about connection, networking, and leadership.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Stop trying to impress—start trying to connect.
Vulnerability is not a weakness, it’s your strongest leadership tool.
LinkedIn isn’t just a platform; it’s your 24/7 global conference.
The energy you show up with determines who shows up for you.
Giving freely—without expectations—can transform your life and business.
It’s okay if not everyone responds; serve those who do.
Your success is measured by how you impact others.
Authentic networking is sustained by curiosity and compassion.
Face-to-face (even virtual) conversations create deeper business momentum.
Your personal brand is built in the daily moments of showing up as yourself.
