Two Boston College-connected founders. Two Shark Tank episodes. Back-to-back weeks.
And the lesson isnât âhow to go viral.â Itâs how relationships compound.
In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany McCasland of City Bonfires/The Chair Blanket⢠and Sarah Fox of Rip Tie Hair â founders with a Boston College connection â to unpack what actually drives durable growth: trust, follow-through, and relationship-building that doesnât feel transactional.
If youâve ever felt like ânetworking is cringe,â this episode is your reset. Because the truth is: relationships arenât a nice-to-have. Theyâre a strategy.
In this episode:
- The mindset shift that makes networking feel human (not gross)
- How trust becomes pipeline (without pushing)
- Follow-up practices that create momentum
- What high-integrity founders do differently
