Mo asks Craig Budner: If you could record a video about business development and growth and send it back to your younger self, what would it say?

Craig would tell his younger self to not be afraid to fail.
Have conversations with people that you may not be ready to start. Be willing to interface with people to learn their stories.
It’s when you’re worried that you may not look good by asking people about their lives, that’s when you are missing an opportunity to grow and get better.
Divorce yourself from the outcome.
Business development is what occurs before the pitch.
It’s better to be curious than it is to think of the things to say. When you’re curious you figure out how to further your journey.
You control whether you make the ask, and whether you listen carefully and grow from what you hear. You don’t control whether someone is interested.
Go to the conversation to grow.
