Chrissanne is an advocate and believer in what we can accomplish when we come together as like-minded professionals to support one another in our business pursuits. By approaching each relationship in her network as a long-term investment, she de-centers any urgency to close a potential deal. For Chrissanne, fostering a genuine connection is always the priority that ultimately creates an open environment for learning through one another and getting even our most ambitious goals met.

In today's episode, we are back together again to sit down with Chrissanne Long, CEO and Co-founder of Maximized Digital Media.

“That's what happens when you're open to receiving the input of others who might not be in your regular everyday life, but they have something to contribute. You have something to contribute, and everyone works together to achieve a common goal. Then you've achieved a mastermind.” - Chrissanne Long
