#97) Confidence in the Face of Rejection | Networking Without Expectation | Andrew Wofford

Today, we’re going to talk about confidence in the face of challenge and uncertainty. We will also cover a powerful mentality to have when it comes to networking: connecting with others without expecting anything in return.


Why you will want to listen to this episode:

  • Maybe you feel like rejection has gotten the better of you. 
  • You lack confidence, clarity, and presence in your job search.
  • You feel like it’s time to take more calculated risks.


My next guest is Andrew Wofford. He’s an actor, content creator, and entrepreneur born and raised right here in the great state of Texas. As a “third-generation entrepreneur”, he has business in his blood and even started his first company at the age of 15. He studied acting at CALARTS and has since then had his hand in many different projects, including production companies, educational outreach programs, music groups, and much more. As a good friend, I’ve known Andrew for 13 years and have seen him put his heart and soul into everything he does. 


I brought him on the show today because he’s one of the most confident, present, and interesting people I know. Andrew will be sharing experiences from his own journey, including challenges and struggles. And we will draw parallels to the job search, showing you how you can still be confident in the face of challenge and adversity.


Here's what we cover:


  • What are some ways to reboost your confidence during tough times? 
  • What are some ways to deal with rejection?
  • Why does expecting nothing in return yield a better job search?
