A short interview clip where Tim Davies and another speaker discuss the role of in-person networking in business success. The other speaker reports being roughly three years into their venture, starting from the bottom with an existing local network that helped lift the business. Both emphasize that formal education doesn’t teach the value of building relationships and that the speaker only came to appreciate networking’s power later in their career.

And so how far in are you now in terms of time?
Yeah. So three years in, roughly.
It was starting from the bottom with a known network. So people locally knew you and I think that makes a huge difference. But the power of in person networking and those relationships that you build were a lift up in business, which they just don't teach at school.
They really don't. I mean, I think it's actually only been even in my previous role, I didn't really appreciate the power of your network and networking and being associated and working with other business people and other people that are going to raise you up.
