Wait. Who are the right people?
How do you meet them in a hall of a thousand voices?
And how do you make an impression without acting like a creepy stalker?
Yikes!

I’m Jade. I’m a connector and a social hub. I’ve become good friends with the big names in my space in a really short period of time. They like me and my weirdness, trust my opinions, and recommend me to people.
