The fifth Nobody Cares Speaker Series featured a discussion on transforming personal passions into careers. CEO Erika Ayers Badan hosted panelists Mike Chau, Becky Malinsky, and Luke Fortney, who shared their experiences in cultivating online influence. Key insights included the importance of authenticity in sharing, the necessity of building genuine relationships over transactional networking, and the belief that success does not come from competition but collaboration. Each panelist emphasized the need to stay true to oneself while capitalizing on one’s passions.
"My family doesn't eat that on a regular basis, so I don't want to do my viewers an injustice by alluding that we do," he said.
"Stay true to yourself and your audience. That way, what you love is never sacrificed in the name of business."
"Do people like you or do they like the place you work for?" is a question Becky found herself reflecting on after parting from the Wall Street Journal and Vogue to pursue a freelance career.
Networking isn't about transactional gains-it's about genuine bonds that outlast job titles.
