Welcome back to Networking Unleashed, Building
Profitable Connections. I'm your host, Michael
Foreman, and today's episode is all about the
power of relationships, that ripple effect of
generosity, and how the right connection can
literally change everything. My guest today is
someone who just doesn't talk about networking.
He's lived it for moments of transformation fueled
by a single introduction. to launching Project
Giveback, a platform designed to help small businesses
grow without overwhelming costs. His story is
a masterclass in what's possible and when you
lead with value. If you ever felt stuck, uncertain,
or like you're doing it all on your own, this
conversation is going to inspire you to start
seeking networking, not as a transaction, but
as a powerful tool for growth. community, and
long -term success. So let's dive in. My guest
today is Clinton Holmes, and I don't want to
butcher his background because he's got a great
background. So I would just like to introduce
Clinton and have him just give us a little bit
about his background. Clinton, welcome to the
podcast. I appreciate you. Thank you for having
me on the item. No problem at all. No problem.
Give us a little taste of your background. What
brought you today? What brought me today? It's
broad, so I'll try to keep it as short as possible.
I, my wife and I, we were originally from South
Carolina, then moved to Georgia, stayed in Georgia
for about 10 years. Career opportunity, career
advancement on my wife's side. She had an opportunity,
a great opportunity to become a VP of operations.
So moved to Florida. Big jump, obviously. That
was the introduction for me to actually start
my business full time because I've always had
nine to five business and would work on my personal
brand and personal business part time. But this
gave me the opportunity to say, you know what,
let's step out in faith. Let's do this thing
full time. And it worked perfectly because the
company that I was working for in Georgia, the
company is Alcatech. Shout out to Steve Martin.
an architect. It was amazing. They became my
first hardcore client and that was, it was a
humbling experience for them to trust me to actually
continue their brand. And so it grew legs from
there. But when I landed here, reality hit me.
I saw a need for networking. I realized this
was the first time in my life I was in an area
where I knew absolutely. I got on, of course,
LinkedIn and local community groups, generally
the local chamber of commerce in Tavares. And
I started actual networking. And it was an amazing
experience because you would think it's transaction,
right? You would think it's, hey, here's my business
card. Hey, here's your business card. Okay, let's
do some work together. It wasn't like that. It
was individuals who... listened to my story celebrated
gave me amazing advice and it grew from there
so it was it grew from hey you're just a guy
who's in a new land new place trying to grow
your business to being on podcasts being on radio
shows being invited to corporate events it was
just an amazing experience and It wasn't the
atypical transactional experience that I was
told. So I had the absolute wrong experience
or the wrong ideology of what networking was
supposed to be. I got a real taste of pure networking
and it was about connection and growth. And I'm
floored. And when I ran into you, I was like,
OK, I have to be on Michael's show because he's
all about network. So that's why I'm here. I'm
here to grow. I'm here to learn. And I'm just
humbled, man. I'm really humbled. That's all
fantastic. And I have found that really ever
since the pandemic, that when everybody was shut
indoors and they relied on Zoom and their cell
phones and everything else, before then, everybody
was into building their client, their customer
list. But now it's more about relationships.
and who you connect with and how you connect
with them. And I always said that more importantly
than meeting the person is the follow -up. How
do you follow up with the person? So we'll get
into that later on because I'm sure they'll have
something to say about that. But let's start
with the questions, okay? You said that networking
changed the game for you. Can you take us back
to a moment when a connection truly transformed
your path? So, first networking event that I've
been to, Cam Madison, he reached out to me on
LinkedIn. And I thought it was a regular LinkedIn
pitch, obviously, but it was an authentic gentleman
who was doing local networking here in the greater
Orlando area. So I'll never forget it. I actually
went to the event. It's okay. I'll do it. I'll
just break the ice. I need it. I know I need
it. Let's go. Networking event. By the way, Michael,
I'm an introvert. A lot of people would never
know that. So networking events will break you
out of that really quick. So I went there. Will
Bradley. He was the first person I met. I got
there first because I'm that. i'm that get there
first guy so i got there first and cam was like
whoa you're early that's just who i am so got
there got my bearings together and will came
in will happen to be in marketing as well now
will does the seo the pay -per -clicks and pay
dad so he's on that side of marketing i'm more
so on the branding content creation side of marketing
so obviously he and i it was a instant connection
And the way he interacted and the way he gave
me strategic advice on how to scale. And when
I use the word scale, it's not about, oh, I'm
at 5 ,000 a month. Okay, now I'm going to scale
to 50 ,000 a month. Scale meaning, OK, this is
what you can do to really maximize what you are
trying to accomplish, the audience that you are
trying to attract. Because will I accept a billion
dollar a year companies? I sure would. But my
core and my heart are for people like myself,
the people that just started out or the smaller
businesses. They really can't afford that 75K
a year marketing guy. but they need that 75K
a year marketing work. I'm the guy to intervene
and help. But after talking to Will, he gave
me so many different approaches and so many different
strategies that I could implement. It just blew
my mind. And then of course, after he and I were
talking, then more people came in and every single
person I talked to gave more nuggets of advice
and more nuggets of knowledge. Not one person
said, by the way, buy my stuff, here's my stuff,
give me this, give me not one person. Everybody
actually fed into me and it was amazing. And
that is the best experience I've had as far as
networking or my first introduction to networking
that I could have hoped for. Let me give you
another nugget, okay, regarding networking. Networking,
if you go in with what's called a servant's heart,
If you go in thinking, what can I give today?
Not receive. You don't go into a networking event
thinking you're going to sell anything. You're
going to go in and thinking, okay, what two people
can I connect? What can I give? What I usually
do when I speak to somebody such as yourself,
how can I make you more successful? What can
I do to be a good referral source for you? And
I do all this without even telling you what I
do. Because I just want to know about you. So
as Zig Ziglar and other major people would say,
always look to give, not receive. So if you go
in with that, all the pressure's off. Introvert,
perfect. Not for extroverts or introverts, right?
Because you're like, oh my God, who do I have
to talk to? No, nothing. Go in and try to give.
And once you give, people love to talk about
themselves. And people love to share their knowledge
with somebody else. If you ask them, because
that means that they've made it and they're trying
to help you. So that's a little nugget for you
to remember. Okay, so what mindset shift had
to happen before you started seeing real results
from networking? I had to realize. I needed a
different perspective in order to get to where
I need to be. Does that make sense? Sure. You
can build something as an individual and in your
personal world, it works and you can have a little
success and it works until you're placed in an
environment like this. When you're placed in
that right environment, the proving ground, the
real testing ground. That's when it shows, oh,
you missed a step or you missed this lesson or
you need this strategic partner. That's the mindset
shift that I've had and continue to have. I realize
there's a lot of room as far as I have gone and
I am so humbled and I thank God for the knowledge
and wisdom that he's given me. And now I'm in
a place of learning because a great part of my
life, I've been the coach. I've been the mentor.
And I'm 50 years old now. And it hit me. I've
never had a mentor in my life. So the mindset
shift that I have now is, oh, wow, now you get
to have a mentor. And you need it. And now you
see it. There's no more. okay, I got this and
I can do this because I've been successful in
my past. No, my mindset now is, okay, I am now
the student. And it's humbling. And I thought
it was scary at first, but it's not. That's just
excitement that I'm feeling because I know where
I can go from here. And so it's just taken my
mind to a whole different place. So yeah, so
that's the mindset shift that I have now. I've
become the student now where I've always been
the teacher. You don't realize how important
a mentor truly is. Now, I mentor several people.
I coach several people. But I am mentored by
somebody else. I'm always being taught because
nobody knows everything. And things change so
fast. quickly and often that you can't know everything.
And my mentor doesn't know everything either,
but he keeps me on the right track. So that's
all you're really doing. So I'm in the middle.
I'm receiving and I'm giving. And I don't think
I'll ever get out of that position. So always
have that in mind because you can't know everything.
You don't know everything. And every time you
go to a networking event or something else, you're
learning something. If you don't learn something
every day, you're not doing your job. Exactly.
Okay. So how did the idea for Project Give Back
come about? And what problem were you solving
for small businesses? Project Give Back. That
is a love letter. It's really lovely. It was
when I came here and I gave you the picture of
the minor struggles, new place, new land, have
to build my brand, build my business, build,
scale. And then one day it hit me and I want
to say it was divine. I was reminded that's not
who I am. That's not my personal brand. My personal
brand is giving more than I give. I've always
been that person from volunteering at local parks
and recreation to volunteering time at churches,
helping churches grow, building, building this,
building that. It's always been my passion to
help people grow and then look back and say,
God, thank you for giving me this knowledge and
wisdom to help somebody else grow for years.
And I still consider myself this. I'm more of
a king maker than the king. I know how to be
the king. i just choose to help other kings be
kings and so project give back is just that for
businesses non -profits solopreneurs entrepreneurs
whoever who need help real genuine help to build
their businesses i don't care if it's from the
ground up i don't care if it's from an idea let
me talk with you Let's walk you through some
processes and show you how I've gotten where
I am. And I can help you get there as well to
businesses that are already established. But
again, funding is a thing. It is a real thing.
And lack of funding is a real thing. And a lot
of times people really don't have. It's not like
everyone's trying to take advantage. People don't
have the funds because they pay this and that.
And so Project Get Back is it. Let me. And it's
not me giving money. It's me giving advice. It's
me giving time. Sometimes I'll give services
to companies, individuals, what have you, that
need that extra help, that extra person, that
extra idea, the extra consultation to help them
go to the next level. I've actually helped in
the past couple of weeks. I think it was about
three individuals. One of them is a startup.
They want to actually do a clothing brand. And
so I started from ground up. Okay. First things
first. What's your idea? We found out their idea
and we went from there and it grew from there.
And by the time we finished the session, we had
already started with a concept of his design
because he wanted to start off with just a logo.
He said, here's my logo. And I'm throwing the
shirt. I said, wow, that's scary. And he was
like, wow, what's wrong? I said, Okay, I said,
put it like this, a logo without a brand or identity.
It's like putting a gigantic, beautiful car in
the middle of the world without an engine. It
won't go anywhere. People may look at it, they
may not, but nobody will get in it because they
can't find the doors. They can't crank it up
because it doesn't have an engine. You have to
build something around this logo. A logo is basically
pretty paint on the building. I said, let's build
your brand. And so it starts like that. So Project
Give Back is just my way of saying, hey, I know
a lot of people can't afford larger marketing
firms, larger marketing companies. You can afford
me. And hopefully they will come back to you.
Look, you've given me enough information. So
you know what? Let me just hire you. Just even
first of all, them out. And that's the way it
all starts. So it's a beautiful thing. And that's
what we're talking about beforehand. Let's take
this one step further. How does Project Give
Back help businesses grow without overwhelming
them with traditional marketing or startup costs?
Now, you basically covered that just now. But
how? Give me another scenario. Okay. I hope I
don't offend anyone when I say this. So allow
me to go granular. Sure. Typical marketing. Obviously,
worry about your PPCs, your paid ads, what have
you. That is not my strategy. That's a part of
my strategy. Eventually. But that's not my initial
strategy. My initial strategy is establish your
footing. Establish your brand. Establish your
identity. Your target audience, who are you really
talking to? Who do you want to talk to? And then
I asked the other question again, who are you
really talking to? Because sometimes, and I'm
guilty of this myself, I'm accustomed to wanting
to be everything to everybody. And I can't do
that. Even my new mentor is teaching me, hey,
Clinton, bring that back in. Yes, you have capacity,
but. Conceptually, your capacity is too far out
there. So I help individuals with that. Once
I help them with that, then I start off instead
of paid ads, Google ads. I go old school. Local
market. Hey, I tell you what, find a local event.
Join a local chamber of commerce. Free information,
free advice. Whoever was listening, free advice,
free information. You would be amazed. How much
resources your local chamber of commerce will
give you just by joining that local chamber of
commerce. And it is a fraction of the cost of
paying for a paid ad. Because a paid ad, I will
tell you, one, if it's not set up correctly,
you are going to lose a lot of money. Two, it
depends on your niche. You will not be at the
top of Google. I don't care. What anyone tells
you. Because again, depending on your niche.
Because you have individuals and companies who
have a lot more revenue and resources than you
started. So you're never going to be at the top.
So instead of allocating your money there, allocate
your money to local sources. There you are. If
you're in Orlando, focus in Orlando. If you're
in Atlanta, focus in Atlanta. If you're in Florence,
South Carolina, my hometown. Focus on Florence,
South Carolina. Focus on your local area. Choose
your local chamber of commerce. Use those resources.
Start local. Then grow. That's my number one.
That's Clinton Home Strategy 101. Start small.
Start local. And I promise results. You know
something? And you can almost guarantee your
promise. Because if you start organically. You
start your business organically, and then you
could go for something else, but start organically,
do word of mouth, go to those networking events.
And just for the heck of it, there's always something
called that 30 -second elevator pitch, okay,
elevator speech. And people ask me all the time,
what's yours? What's yours? What do you have
to do? I say, look, don't. First, don't just
give me a 30 -second elevator pitch because what
is the purpose of that pitch? It's to get somebody's
attention, to get a response from the person.
So give them five seconds. Give them mainly what
you do and have them respond to you like, oh,
can you tell me more? Or, oh, what is that? Or,
oh, that's all you're looking for. And then you
go into the rest, right? So that is the way that
you do it. does networking play inside of Project
Give Back itself? That's actually, it's almost,
I can't say almost, it is a major one. It is
the key component. I don't want to say, I don't
want to use the word force, but I strategically
persuade the individual. Network, network. By
the way, network again. Because I don't stop
with me. I don't limit their resources and their
knowledge with me. In fact, I teach them how
to network or find connections through other
sources aside from myself. I'm just a conduit.
I'm the one that can teach you, hey, and again,
I got to keep pointing this out. I got to keep
pressing that button. Join your local chamber
of commerce. i can't stress that enough that
is networking by itself because what that'll
do because most of those most of those chamber
of commerce they have networking events and you
would be amazed at the individuals that you meet
and those events it could be something as simple
as a dinner something as simple as breakfast
or lunching and then that'll evolve into hey
we have a an event we would like for you to sponsor
They're not talking millions of dollars. They're
not talking thousands of dollars. It may be a
hundred bucks, maybe only 50 bucks. Now, guess
what? Your brand, your face, your name is right
there with the major player. And all you had
to do, get out of your shell and network with
Clinton. Oh, Clinton teaches you to network with
Bob at your local chamber of commerce. Then Bob
teaches you to network with this person. It is
a major part. Networking is a major part of Project
Give Back because in essence, I'm teaching the
individuals to give back themselves. What I hear
you saying is that networking is a skill and
a talent. And what do you have to do to, I'm
going to say perfect it, but there's no perfecting
networking. Okay. You have to practice, practice.
And you shouldn't be afraid, anybody that's listening
or any of your first time people, you shouldn't
be afraid to go out and network. Look, the first
time you go out and network, you're going to
suck. It's horrible. You're going to be so bad,
right? But you're going to learn from it. And
you take those bits of wisdom and you go to your
next one and the next one. And pretty soon, you're
like, hey, you know what? This networking thing,
it's not so bad. It's pretty good. And once you
start to enjoy it that much more, get the nerves
out to you introverts, okay? Once you get the
nerves out of your system, then you'll start
to have fun. When you start having fun, that's
when you really start to network properly. Exactly,
exactly. That's key. Okay, so you've built a
platform that gives first. How has that philosophy
of generosity impacted your own business and
relationships? I've established my place in this
very congested niche. And honestly, that really
wasn't the purpose because the purpose was, again,
this is who I am at my core. But what happened
is I established a position. In most marketing
firms or most businesses, one of the key questions
is, what separates you from company XYZ? What
separates you from every company in your niche?
I find that separate right there. That's how
I found it. And it just landed in my lap. Basically,
I honestly do not care about scaling. It means
more to me to... build a relationship and build
partnership because to me, that is worth its
weight in gold. I can, again, I can have 1 .5
billion, but if I don't have 1 .5 billion individuals
who I've helped, then the entire market is messed
up. Our entire structure is messed up. So I prefer
to have more people because this world is big
enough for growth. If more people grow. then
we all work. If more people who actually have
their ideas, put their ideas out there, the more
people will say, hey, baby, I can do it too.
So it has established me as an industry leader
or a thought leader in what I do. And this is
a very crowded niche. Once you just say marketing,
it's like everybody does marketing. What separates
you? What separates me is honestly, I teach people
at the core level. And I teach them, you don't
have to be in this gigantic box over here. You
can be in this nice box right here and still
help thousands upon thousands of people. Because
guess what? If you have an idea, someone's just
like you at one point. They have the same idea.
Don't forget where you came from. Go back. Bring
those people up with you. And watch what happens.
Watch what flourishes. Watch how it goes. Very
good. What's the biggest misconception people
have about networking today, especially when
they're just starting out? I want to say the
misconception that most people have, including
myself when I first started it, was it was transactional.
I will say this, and this is how I know that
what I'm doing is working. By the grace of God,
it's working. I'm starting to attract those transactional
networking individuals. And so it does exist.
So I don't want to tell people that it doesn't
exist because it does exist. But I think of misconceptions
that it's all transactional and that is not the
case. It is not the case whatsoever. You meet
a pure person, for example, like yourself. It
is an honor to be on this podcast. There are
countless, countless number of people who would
charge to be on an established podcast, talking
with a keynote speaker, a coach, a public speaker,
and you do it out of kindness of your heart for
the sake of networking and exposure. And I thank
you, by the way, again, I really thank you for
this opportunity. I really thank you for doing
this. Thank you for positioning me. What we're
doing now, this is True Network. And a lot of
people have the misconception that this is not
what it's supposed to be. And that's not the
case. What we're doing, this is what it really
is. It's not the other stuff. I agree 100%. I
can't agree enough because that's why I do what
I do. You do what you do. And together, I'm sure
that we can take care of all business in our
niches, our small lane. We'll get into that afterwards.
How do you encourage small business owners to
network when they feel that they don't have anything
to offer yet? Let me be the one to encourage
you. You do have something to offer. That is
the first thing. You have something. I don't
have anything to offer. Yes, you do. You have
something to offer. If you have an idea, you
have something to offer. I remember, again, going
back to that first networking event, it was a
young man. He wasn't really established. He had
an email address, so it was a Gmail account.
But he had an idea. It was more of a naturalist,
basically. He believed in a holistic style of
living. He showed me pictures of the stuff on
the ground that I would normally just cut because
I don't know anything about that kind of stuff.
He was like, oh, no, this is that type of herb
because it does this. The purpose of this and
the benefits are here, there, and on the side
of the road is this. So he's one of those individuals.
And I said, wait, stop. Did you hear what you're
telling me? And you started off by saying, I'm
just here. I got these papers. And he literally
took his time to print out some things and put
them inside of a little plastic folder. I said,
look, this is presentation. I just do a little
something together. No, it's not a little something.
This is a lot. Don't short sell yourself. Don't
shortchange yourself. You have something to offer.
Now, do you want this packaged in a better bow
or better packaging? Okay, guess what? I can
help you with that. But right now, you have something.
Don't come to this big event feeling you have
nothing to offer because you do. No matter how
minute you think it is, there's something to
offer and you have it. That would be my message
to anybody who feels they don't have anything
to offer. Yes, you do. Start talking. And I guarantee
you, someone with a pure heart will hear you
and they'll help you. You have to realize that
if you go to a networking event, you're not just
talking to the people at the event. You're talking
to their network of people that came to the event.
So if you have 30 people that came to an event,
20 of them, 10 of them, you're talking to 10
of their people. So you're actually speaking
to 100 people. So always keep that in mind because
you never know who's going to hear you. You never
know. That's a very interesting idea. Tell me
more about that. And once they give you that
opening, you just... It's like out of the mouth.
Okay. What's one powerful connection you've made
through giving that came full circle later in
your business journey? I tried to narrow it down.
I tried to narrow it down. Wow. That's a hard
question. It's an easy question, but it's a hard
question. Wow. I'm not giving. Okay. I got overwhelmed
with the question. Okay, sorry. Ask me another
way because you overwhelm me with that because
I was like, whoa, that's too much. Okay. Okay,
just give me a connection that you've made that
came full circle. So a connection you've made
and later on it came around and became fruitful
for you. Art beats. Okay. I was like, like I
said, it was too big. It was too much. Okay.
Who's Art Bemis? Art Bemis. He's an older gentleman.
He's from Boston. The company that I mentioned,
Alcatech, who's now my number one client. Art
Bemis rebranded that company. I was hired on
during the same time, just before Art rebranded
the company. So we're talking full circle. I
gave a lot of my personal time, of course, business
time, because I was part of the business. So
you're paid to do this. But I gave a lot of my
personal time to learn what he had to offer.
He, his words, he fell in love with me. because
i didn't have an ego because he's used to going
into places especially in rebranding process
with whoever the marketing person or the person
that's in charge of designing or graphics he's
used to them having an ego he's used to them
pushing back i didn't push back at all in fact
i was sponge that made him want to give more
give back interesting And the more time we spent,
he gave me. When it was time for him to leave,
he said, Clint, here's my personal number. I
don't give people my personal number. Here's
my personal number. I want you to call me. If
you run into any problems, be it here or your
personal business, and he stressed that word,
give me a call. The man's a genius. He matches
my style because my style is minimalist. He made
me feel better about that style of design, that
style of branding. He said, great things don't
need to be noisy. Nike. Check. That's it. Apple.
Apple with a bite out of it. Clear. And it stands
the test of time. If I say to you right now,
you're already smiling. You know what I'm talking
about. I didn't even say the brand name. So he
taught me all of that. And it came from me sacrificing
personal time and it swung back around. To this
day, we still communicate. We still interact
with each other. He has sent me personal. information
via mail, like, hey, Clinton, what's your address?
He said, congratulations on the move to Florida.
What's your address? We have some stuff to send
you. He sent me personal stuff from the family.
He meant it, and it all came from me just being
very humble and sacrificing my personal time
to listen to what he had to say. and be open
to everything he had to teach. That's one. I'm
sure that's one of many, but that's very important
to you because it meant so much to you, and it
hit you on a personal level, and you don't have
many of those connections. You don't have a whole...
sackload of connections like that. But every
once in a while, you get somebody that you connect
with solely. And he happens to be part of a major
corporation, so that helps. But he brought it
down to a personal level and you two connected.
And that is the most important thing. So let's
bring this podcast full circle. If you had to
leave listeners with one piece of advice about
building a business through relationships, not
just transactions, what would it be? I would
say, in order to build a relationship, be transparent.
It's the best start of any good relationship,
be transparent. And always look for what you
can do versus what you can get. So, Be transparent.
Look for what you can do versus what you can
get. We're going to get what we're going to get.
I believe that's how the world does the exact
same thing. The world revolves. Everything cycles
around. So you're going to get back. But be transparent
who you are and your intentions. And just find
out what you can do versus what you can get.
That's the secret that I kind of buy. Those two
things. And that's perfect. And don't be afraid
if you are talking with somebody and really from
the onset that you're not going to get anything
from this person or this person is just talking
about something else. And you have to be able
to say very politely, bow out of that conversation
and go somewhere else. Okay. You have to know
how to get rid of those people. and get the people
around you that you truly want. That makes sense.
I actually had to do that a lot in the past couple
of months. Yeah, it is a real thing. I learned
this because I owned a graphic design studio
and I had six people technically, six people
graphically. And I was taking like everybody
that you, look, you're going to pay me money?
Good. And somebody who I used as a mentor, even
then, this is going back 100 years, of course.
But usually then, he said, Michael, you have
to learn how to fire your customer. Learn how
to say no. And it resounded with me. It stayed
with me. So that was very true. Okay. So Clint.
First of all, this was a great podcast. I am
so thankful to have you on because you shared
some insights to networking that whether it's
your project or anything else, listen, this is
all about you. And you were very transparent.

especially in the Florida area, please call Clinton.
Clinton, how can somebody, if they want to be
coached by you or hire you for your services
or just want to say hello, how can they get hold
of you? First and first, again, Michael, I appreciate

me directly, 678 -920 -2542. I'm available, chat,
talk. Just throwing some advice, a lot of my
advice, a lot, sorry, all of my advice, free
charge. I love networking with people now. I
still call myself an introvert just in case for
some crazy reason, my brain reminds me, oh God,
you're a shy person. Please don't communicate
with people. I always tell people that and everybody
by the end of the conversation say. You're not
an introvert. I'm like, yeah, I am -ish. But
I'm breaking out of it. But the chat, when we
talk, I need help. Have an idea on a business.
Honestly, no idea is a crazy idea. Come on, let's
talk. One of my greatest quotes or taglines that
I came up with, and it's real simple, three words.
Let's grow together. That's all. Let's grow together.
I don't want to grow by myself. Top of the mountain
is not a beautiful place to be looking at. There's
nobody there or limited people there with you.
Let's do this together. Let's do this together.
Let's grow together. Fantastic advice. Clinton,
thank you very much for coming on the podcast.
