Host Kailey Armstrong welcomes Tazeem Weljie, a consultant and advisor, and, as Kailey describes her, a “connector superstar”, to the show to talk about connections, community, and building a life with intention. When Tazeem was nineteen, she left her hometown of Calgary for nineteen years. Upon her return, she set an intention to have 100 cups of coffee to learn about Calgary, and through that, she built an entire community and business of connections. She shares advice on how to reach outside comfort zones and grow with Kailey.
One of the things Tazeem learned through her 100 coffees was how a community is built with a tapestry of connections, how each person brings something new to the table. The coffees also helped her determine the path she would take with her entrepreneurial career. Kailey and Tazeem talk about how 100% of a skill is not needed to get in the door with something we want, just enough to help us learn and grow. They discuss the value of collaboration over competition, of seeing the people we meet as connected and not something to overcome. Tazeem shares advice on how to start making connections if we’re new to a city, stories on the reward that can come by taking a leap of faith, and having the courage to speak up about what we want and identify it out loud.
