Steve Spiro launched his first company in advertising right after college. A 4th-degree black belt in Karate and 1st-degree black belt in Jujitsu, Steve also owned his own Karate studio. He attributes much of his success to the discipline, work ethic, integrity, and resilience he developed through martial arts. When the economy shifted, Steve transitioned from advertising into sales—a surprising path for an introvert with an art school background. Despite the challenges, he mastered the art of human connection, becoming a top sales performer. Today, Steve Spiro is an inspirational keynote speaker known as The Master Connector, empowering audiences to break barriers, build authentic relationships, and lead with purpose. With over 30,000 LinkedIn connections, Steve also hosts The Master Connector Show, a popular LinkedIn Live broadcast that celebrates the power of genuine human connection. A published author and transformation catalyst, Steve inspires others to turn adversity into strength and use authenticity as their greatest superpower.

 Rob Genovesi is a brand builder. After 25 years in the creative industry, having worked in advertising, marketing and publishing, Rob launched his branding and design company, offering strategy, design and coaching for mid-sized businesses and solopreneurs looking to stand out from their competition. His networking journey started out like most, simply looking for referrals, but he quickly realized there's more to networking than just a transaction. Rob seeks to find the opportunity with each person he meets in order to create something of value, going beyond the referral. He builds his network on LinkedIn by meeting people who align with his goals, as well as in real life by starting and building business networking chapters through the organization, Master Networks.

Rob loves to spend his time hanging out at home with his wife, kids, dog, and cat (in between rounds of golf).
