Networking Unleashed: S1E88 An Interview with Brandon Sherwood and Michael A Forman, Public Speaker

Brandon Sherwood brandon@gladlygood.com Brandon Sherwood President at EcoSolutions & Gladly Network Brandon Sherwood is a relationship-driven leader who somehow ended up running two businesses despite a healthy skepticism of most “business advice.” He’s spent the last decade growing EcoSolutions, a national leader in dental scrap refining, and more recently launched Gladly Network, a platform helping small businesses and their people connect with brands that actually care about the world around them. He’s a straight-shooter who values honesty over polish, relationships over transactions, and getting things done over talking about it. His superpower is helping people cut through the noise to focus on what really matters — building trust, solving problems, and doing good work with good people. Outside of work, he’s a husband, dad of four boys, and a reluctant introvert who’d still rather be coaching a soccer game than sitting through a networking dinner. What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about? Human first networking vs. awkward cocktail parties The power of niche networks Why honesty and transparency should be more present in networking. What are 2-3 things you would like to gain as a result of being on this podcast?
