In EP 76, I sit down with Shannon Seipel to talk about the power of relationship capital, what it is, how it's built, and why it matters more than most people realize.
Shannon shares her unexpected path into the construction industry, how she built credibility from the ground up, and the role relationships played in shaping her career. We break down the difference between mentorship and sponsorship, why sponsors are critical to career growth, and how showing up, asking questions, and staying curious can create opportunities you never planned for.
We also dive into what it looks like to pay it forward, recognizing potential in others, supporting the next generation, and using your own relationship capital to help others grow.
If you've ever wondered why some people seem to have doors open for them, this conversation will give you a new perspective on what's really behind it.
