1126. How to Cultivate Rich Relationships That Multiply Your Impact, Sales & Business Growth with Selena Soo

What if the most overlooked growth strategy in your business wasn’t another ad campaign, funnel tweak, or team hire – but a relationship?

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by longtime friend and powerhouse publicity expert Selena Soo, who just released her brand-new book, Rich Relationships. Selena has built a multi-8-figure business and forged over 400 affiliate and referral partnerships, and in today’s conversation, she’s peeling back the curtain on exactly how she did it.

You’ll learn why generosity is the greatest growth accelerator, how to build a trusted inner circle (even if you’re an introvert), and how to get intentional about cultivating meaningful relationships that pay back tenfold—emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

Whether you want to grow your audience, expand your impact, or simply feel more connected in a disconnected world, this episode gives you the blueprint.
