Steve Spiro started his first company right out of college in advertising. Additionally, he holds a 4th degree black belt in Karate & 1st degree in Jujitsu, including having his own Karate studio. Steve contributes much of his successes to a strong work ethic, a can-do, never-quit attitude, discipline, integrity and fearlessness that he cultivated in the martial arts. Steve is a master connector with over 19,000 contacts in his phones and over 25,000 connections on LinkedIn. He eventually pivoted from advertising into technology and now is a business automation consultant. Steve is big on self-development and loves to inspire people to get out of their comfort zone too, through speaking engagements.

 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).
