At heart, I've always been a storyteller. I thrive on meeting new people and believe connections and relationships are a key indicator of our success, happiness and productivity. Over the past 20 years, I've been a documentary filmmaker, a commercial director, a public speaker, an ad gal, a social media fan and more. I believe life is richer when we're experience-oriented and living based on our passions and purpose rather than our fears. I wrote Your Network Is Your Net Worth to share my lessons and the stories of friends and executives to inspire and teach others how to live happier and more successful lives. I'm grateful for the support and feedback and I love hearing from readers. Please feel free to send me at tweet at @portergale or at info@portergale.com. I wish you great success on your journey. Be true to your passions, surround yourself with people that support your visions and values, help others and focus on being a "producer" or bringing ideas and creativity to the table.
