In this refreshingly candid episode of Drinks & Deals, Assad sits down with flight attendant, business owner, and event host Jocelyn Cattley to talk about the art of human connection in a world dominated by screens and social anxiety. From breaking the ice at industry events to overcoming impostor syndrome and awkward vibes, Jocelyn shares real, actionable insights on how to own your space—whether you're new in the room or stuck in your head.
They discuss:
How to approach strangers at networking events (even when you're introverted)
Why leading with curiosity and value always wins
How to read social cues and redirect awkward interactions
The power of knowing yourself—and your city
Why it's not that deep (and that’s a good thing)
If you've ever hesitated to say hi, felt out of place, or just want to get better at navigating industry events, this episode is for you.
