Intentionality in a Noisy World: Networking and AI That Actually Work

Led by:  Paul Trent, That Networking Guy

Today’s small business owners are surrounded by tools, platforms, and advice, but more access hasn’t made things simpler. It’s made intention more important than ever.

In this session, Paul Trent will explore what intentionality looks like in practice when it comes to modern networking and artificial intelligence. Using real-world examples, he’ll break down common approaches that waste time and energy, and contrast them with strategies that create clearer direction, stronger relationships, and better outcomes.

Attendees will learn:

• How intentional networking opens doors to partnerships, referrals, and opportunities most people miss
• How to use AI as a collaboration tool instead of a shortcut that produces generic results
• Why depth of connection consistently outperforms volume of activity
• How intentional choices help small business owners stay relevant as technology and work continue to change

This session is ideal for business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to work smarter, build meaningful connections, and use modern tools without losing their human edge.

Lunch will be included. Both members and non-members are invited.
