Welcome to Season 2, Episode 12 of the Indie Business Podcast! In this eleventh and final episode of our Women, Wealth and Wow! series, I introduce you to Neenz Faleafine of Pono Media in Hawaii. Through her business, Neenz helps entrepreneurs develop “virtual solutions for real-life results.” Some might say she is a social media consultant, but she's really so much more than that.
Neenz is a professional learner of people. She is constantly studying human behavior so she can offer the best value to customers, clients, and everyone who crosses her path. You'll enjoy hearing a bit about how I met, and actually, how I've never really met, Neenz.
In this episode, Neenz opens up to share her spiritual approach to entrepreneurship and the relationships it fosters. This was not a planned part of our discussion. The insights Neenz shares apply to everyone who seeks to use the Internet to communicate with people in a way that conveys not only that we have a product or service to offer them, but that we also care deeply about them and want to develop a meaningful relationship with them. Enjoy my Interview with Neenz NOW!
