From the host behind multi-million-dollar outcomes from curated introductions.
Stop networking. Start connecting.
What if your next million-dollar deal didn’t start with a cold pitch… but with one authentic conversation over cocktails?
“The $2.5M+ transaction that resulted was the direct outcome of Breandan’s strategic thinking and our mutual commitment to bringing value to the table.”

Jerry Meinert
Does this sound familiar?
You show up at events, hand out dozens of cards, recite your elevator pitch a hundred times… and walk away wondering if any of it will lead to real business.
Endless “coffee chats” that never turn into clients.

Networking that feels forced and transactional.

A reputation built on chasing opportunities.

One night changed everything.
I used to believe networking was a numbers game. More events. More people. More chances.
But after one exhausting evening, I realized: the most successful people weren’t chasing… they were being chosen.
That night sparked a question that changed my business forever:
“What if I could create my own room, filled with the right people, where real connections – and real deals – happened naturally?”
This book is the answer to that question.

Imagine this instead…
You host a small, curated happy hour
No name tags. No awkward pitches. Just a relaxed space where meaningful conversations naturally unfold.
GENUINE CONVERSATIONS FLOW
You’ve met the right people, built trust quickly, and left with new opportunities—without ever feeling like you had to “sell.”
This is Connector Event Marketing
A simple, repeatable system that flips the script on networking, turning casual encounters into million-dollar deals.
From endless chasing to effortless attracting
This book bridges the gap between the old way of networking and a new, strategic approach that:
oNE

Two

This isn’t theory.
It works.
