The Power of a Phone Call
We live in a world where texting, DMing, and voice notes dominate communication, especially for my generation and younger. We’d often rather type it out than talk it out.
I get it. It’s faster, feels safer, and keeps things at arm’s length.
But let’s be honest: nothing beats the power of a real conversation.
This week, I had two powerful phone calls with investors who are out there making things happen. Not only were those conversations inspiring, but they also led to unexpected opportunities:
✅ I was introduced to two more serious investors
✅ I connected with a creative, out of the box lender
✅ And there’s now a potential management opportunity on the table for my company
None of this came from a text thread or an email chain. It came from picking up the phone, being present, and having real-time dialogue. Voice to voice. Human to human.
Communication is a bridge. Sometimes, all it takes is being seen and heard to unlock doors you didn’t even know existed.
So here’s my suggestion, especially to my peers:
👉 Don’t underestimate the power of a phone call
👉 Show up, speak up, and stay open
👉 The right conversation can change your entire trajectory
Let’s normalize picking up the phone again. You never know who’s on the other end… Or what opportunity might be.
