• 3:17
  Speaker 2: So, sonia, tell us a little bit about yourself.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Then I want to ask you some questions.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I am a mother of two grown and grown kids.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I love them.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, two wonderful grandsons.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: They're age 14 and 11.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So this is very interesting and fun time right now.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I'm also a wife.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: We're going to have our anniversary this weekend, our seven year anniversary this weekend, and I'm a devoted mother, I'm sorry, devoted daughter.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: My mother, I love my mother, 83 years old, or say, let's say, 83 years young, and she is wonderful and I just love her dearly.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And I'm a chef because of my grandmother.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: As Wanda had said earlier, she planted that seed in me as a kid and so I just decided to go to culinary school many years later.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, my grandmother was not here when I did it, but she's the reason why I'm a chef and I just love Warming people's tummies with good food, whether it's sweet or savory.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: So that's just a little bit about me.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna tell you.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And she gets me in trouble because, actually, with that candy and a pie, I'm from Chicago, so she makes my shi town popcorn for me every time.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: She knows what I like.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So, oh my god, everything that she cooks sweets, delica, everything she does is superb.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: So thank you, sonya, for being my chef.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, thank you.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you some questions, though, because I'm gonna dive into why my network ready to collaborate is so important to me, because we both collaborate a lot with other entrepreneurs.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: But how important do you think networking is for collaboration and why Networking is so important.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I learned that many years ago when I was I had gone to a vet planning classes and my instructor, she told all of us ladies, if you're not Networking, you're not working.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And that spoke volumes to me and I like to play on the words, but it stuck with me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And Because, as an entrepreneur, you have to get out there and network.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Because she ran out of friends and family.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: They get tired of you coming to a law boy.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Here she comes again.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: What is what does she want now?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: What is she selling now?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: You know, what does she want me to do now?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: So when you network with people that are like-minded, they get you so they're ready to collaborate with you, so that you can further your business, help them at the same time.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: And actually there's a quote in my book that I said be the wings that a sisterpreneur needs to soar in her business.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: And that's how I feel, you know, knowing that I'm helping another sisterpreneur with getting the right connections.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: That's why I joined experienced connections South Fulton so that she could, you know, get the connections that she need in her business, to help her, you know, and it just makes me feel good Knowing that I've helped somebody to get the connections that they need to go further.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: So it's very important you must do that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: You must network and collaborate too, because you get in the People that your collaborator knows that you don't know and vice versa, and Building that relationship is very important.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I totally agree with that, because me, coming from corporate, I didn't really know how to network.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I was not a salesperson, I'm a social worker.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: They're not not a salesperson, but it actually was something that when I learned it, it was just like okay, that gave me this vision to get in back into the community and that community was building it with With be an eye and there was a sparse connection with other other groups that I'm part of.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: That's what they call me the networking queen, but I'm, and me and Sonya be at a lot of the same networking groups Together, but I really enjoy.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: And the good thing about the networking, tony, is that you build friendships as well.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You know, and and people that's gonna have your back when something happens.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Like you said, sometimes you can depend on family, but you know, happen the having your entrepreneur Sisters have what do you call it?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Sister for newers.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I call sister for nurse, sister for newers, to have your back, because I Know I built my business, a lot that actually helped me to Attain my goals with the spirits connection.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: So I truly appreciate that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And then I would have never met Sonya if I had not network, you know.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So, yes, very, very important.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: So let me ask you this question how can networking help individuals or organizations that access new opportunities to collaboration?
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Well it's, you know, like when we go to, like you said, we go to a lot of different meetings and we see each other.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: When you go to those meetings you're going to see the same people, but then you also, because you're going in different locations, you're going to see other people.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And so that helps when you go to other locations, because sometimes we're stuck in our comfort zone.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: But when you go outside of your comfort zone, that's where the magic happens.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: And yeah, even I had to learn that years ago, you know, I was like I'm just going to stick with the networking on my side, because there was no networking on our side of town and as I decided to venture out a little further out, that's when, like I said, the magic happens.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: And it's so important, y'all, you know, grab the sisterpreneurs from different areas and y'all all come together, meet in the center, and you're just going to see a lot of different changes.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that's what I want to get to next, and that's great to know, because when COVID happens so I wanted you to talk about the digital age when you start doing networking, in-person network is in COVID happen.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Tell us about how that transpired to do that virtual in-person networking in the digital age, because this is the digital age now.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, so tell us about that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a funny story behind that, because I didn't even have a Zoom account.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't have any of that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, I wasn't doing, you know, virtual meetings or anything like that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: But when 2020 hit, we all had to pivot, right, yes?
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: So while people were complaining about the pivoting, I was laid up, I couldn't walk and when our organization experienced connections was, you know, trying to decide if they were going to go ahead and do virtual, because nobody could do in-person meetings, some people didn't want to do it because, you know, sometimes change is hard.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm pretty sure that everybody can, you know, agree with that, and I was already laid up anyway and I was like you know what, I'll do it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: You know, I was the first.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Our location, the experience connection, south Fulton, was the first location to take the bull by the horns and the organization as a whole has not looked back and that's a great thing because we now have that, this platform to be able to go outside of the Atlanta area and get you know sisterpreneurs from across the globe.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've even met some people from international waters and I was like, wow, this is great, all because of modern technology.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: So for those of you that, yeah, so yeah, so the wonderful thing to be able to go out from your seat and meet other people that you would never have met if you didn't turn on that camera and meet them.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, I would say, just just take a couple of breathers or whatever.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and get on that zoom or whatever platform that you're using and meet some new people from from different states, from out of the country.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, sonny, you always bring those people in.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know it's funny because you use different avenues as far as getting them putting out.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: You know your networking events and what is it the magazine does?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I forgot the name of it A magazine, not magazine.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: The network, when you reach out to people and they actually respond back and they come to your meetings, virtual or in person.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Oh well, I use different apps, not really, you know, like, the next door app is one of them.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm like.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the thing is, with the next door app and I think that's what all of them you got to deal with the algorithms.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: So if you're going to promote your business or you know whatever service that you're doing, you're going to have to do it in a decent amount of time, because I'm telling you, sometimes it's a roll of the dice with social media.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: You know, you're hoping that people will find out today that they need to come today.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: No, if you want those people to come today, you need to reach out to them personally.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: But if you're trying to get fresh meat, so to speak, had to go there with the chef thing, but anyway, you have to.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: You know, put it out there like at least five days in advance, knowing that at some point it'll roll around to them.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: So just start early.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: But next door is one of them.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I'm on a line of both.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Now, I was already on there, but I'm sure a lot of y'all could agree.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of different platforms out here and sometimes you just feel like it jumping through hoops, right.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: So, I heard somebody say that they had gotten some people from Alignable and I said, well, let me go ahead and get back on there fully so that I could, you know, bring some people into the fold.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: And that's awesome, because actually it's funny because when I have that corporate and I joined B&I but I was on the line and I had no idea what I was I'm still on line, so I'm not using it that much.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: But that was actually one of the questions and you already answered it how is technology such as social media on our platforms influenced networking and collaboration?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: That was one of my questions I was going to ask you.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So you think that that has brought collaboration into by you doing that, venturing out, not just with social media, because social bikers that I said I missed.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So that has helped you with your business, right?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, and also it's good to put that out there and you know there's what's app and all of that stuff.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you can just get overload y'all.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you might have to unplug yourself from the digital devices.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: That's why I look forward to Fridays.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I'm so serious.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I do my hustle during the week with all of their social media platform and then on the weekends I just take a breather.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Sunday you may not even see me at all on social media, you know.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: So that can be my family day.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, we do it on your way.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: We're the hardest working women, I tell you, because we're a bit too both like in the morning talking to each other sometimes, yes, night out, yeah, we are, we are.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So that that's very interesting.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: But no, you actually, because what you do, they're challenging the obstacles in doing what you're doing as far as a digital, between virtual, between an in-person, and coordinating that with your partner, samantha, and it's kind of hard.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So, and that's what I call collaboration, you definitely collaborate.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: And how do I bring this all together?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And you do such a great job in doing that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I am so.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I was so happy to have my first episode, the second episode of Bonnie Ross Parker, who created this platform, experience connection was.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: It was joy, joy connecting, and I don't know when it was experience connections, back about five years ago, I think, son, that's how long I've been knowing you.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: That's how long I've been in it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, about five years ago.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: So having this platform for women, I mean, you know that he did what I meant to different platforms here, you know.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: But this is actually what does Bonnie say.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Women making it happen.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Women make it happen.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's the slogan.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And that that is I tell you about us working together and knowing that we're not left behind, because I'm telling you, coming from corporate, sometimes you're left behind and you're not heard.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: So this what we heard and a lot of people who don't know, and that's what I end up doing when I, when COVID happened, I get into my office and start doing webinars because people wanted to start a business.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: How do you start a business?
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And you know this is something that my passion was to do that as well.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: So, with Sonia actually, Sonia is one of my associates, the leader of SHIELD, so she ties it very well, but we don't get her out there.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah so, but you know, it actually is very, very important because you have to be out there on social media in order to be able to get business or to start a business or to see what's going on with the business.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So these episodes already said collaborate is something to help you be able to start or to grow your business.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: So let me ask you something Can you provide some tips for effective communication and relationship building within the professional networks, like the networks that you've been doing?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Can you provide any kind of tips that you can share with our audience.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: OK, well, this is something that I say at a lot of meetings, especially when we talk about what has experienced connections done for us.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I would definitely say that when you start networking, it may not happen immediately, but don't stop, Keep going, because it's about relationships, building relationships.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of us go to these meetings, or even to our family, friends.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Let's go that way and expect them to jump on you know all that product, or buy that piece of candy or whatever right away, because you feel that it's, you know, a masterpiece or whatever.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: This is phenomenal product.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: And then you feel some kind of way, when it doesn't happen right there, then and there.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: But you have to remove yourself from the equation and go thinking about the other person.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: What can I do for them?
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: How can I help them?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: You know, and they tell us that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: You know, we have a note section on our rosters.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Make a note.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Who can you connect that person with?
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Just from listening to our three minutes, we talked for three minutes about our business.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: So from those three minutes, what can you hear?
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: How this person, what kind of referral do they need, you know, to make them soar in their business?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: And so when you start networking.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Don't go thinking about me, me, me.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Think about the other person, the other people.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: How can you help them?
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Because as you bless, you will eventually get blessed.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I love that and thank you.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna slow down from networking and I want you to tell us a little bit about what you do.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at creating creations in the back of you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Tell us about your business and then I want you to share how people can get in contact with you.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, king Creation's PCS is my baby.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I started it in.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Actually, it was conceptualized in the, when I was in my twenties.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: So I'm not in my twenties anymore.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: I remember some years old, but I was known as the cake lady back then and I enjoyed doing the cakes and I taught classes and I just wanted to say it in my bio and all that stuff.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: And let's fast forward to now.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I'm back to the baking part, because I used to do meals.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I still do meals, but only on request.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: My baby is always been baking in pastry because my grandmother she was a phenomenal cook as well as a baker, but I always I drew more from the baking side and I love to teach that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: So King Creation's is going to rebrand next year and I'm so excited about it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: If you have been following me and looking at my website, you've probably seen that there were some changes on there and I'm slowly making changes on it as I'm going back to doing what I'm very passionate about and that's.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: You know I like to do my sweet treats.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: You know I like to do popcorn, gourmet popcorn and candy.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: So if you can catch me now, before it gets too hot in the ATL, you can get you some wonderful candy.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Caramel con clusters is my best seller.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I also do assorted barks.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I do fudge all of those things, and it's just so easy to be able to please that indulgent tooth, the indulgent tooth that's back there, that everybody's got, and sometimes we put it to the side because I'm not supposed to eat that.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: But this is the holiday season so we can go ahead and have a little bit, a little bit and a little bit more, right, yeah, she gave me a chubbler girl.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: So you can have some of that and enjoy it now.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: And I just want to.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: I just want to sweeten up everybody's life, because this world is something else.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting into all of that, but I just like knowing that you know somebody's going to have a sweet thought when they think about King Creation's PCS.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, and PCS stands for personal chef service, by the way, but it can also be personal popcorn service or personal candy service, so whatever you want to say, but I love to personalize things for you, my client.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: So if you have a personal popcorn in mind, you can hit up your chef, because I'm your chef now, and you can say hey, chef.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I would like to have a popcorn that tastes like and then I'll play around with it and guess what?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I'll name it after you.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: So if you want to follow me, you can you see the social media.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: You can follow me all along those.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: You can't talk now.
• 21:44
