Although I have been audio podcasting for 4 years, I have been video podcasting for almost 2 years and it was at the Long Island Entrepreneur business networking events where the video podcasts were launched.

In this episode of the video podcast series, I interview Yvonne on the Long Island business networking scene, because let’s face it, nobody knows more about networking in Long Island than Yvonne. Through this event series, I have made great business relationships with so many people, that Yvonne’s events have become like a drug. With her husband and co-organizer, Howie Bisk, and the amazing job from  assistant organizer Jake Caramico, the Long Island Entrepreneur and Startup Long Island networking events always run without a hitch.

The latest buzz words or phrases now are “givers and takers”. Yvonne just keeps giving and giving and giving: raffles, free ebooks, business advice at her events, free advertising for others’ networking events, and a chance for event attendees to expose their business to others in the Long Island business community.

Now, one last thing that I must point out is how much of an avid blogger Yvonne is. In late 2008, I helped Yvonne launch the Long Island Business Blog and now Yvonne has spun out on her own at http://longislandentrepreneurs.wordpress.com. I have never in my 4 years of reading blogs seen one person blog so much, and each post is a quality one, not like some bloggers where they just ramble on. Yvonne’s blogs are short and sweet, but also valuable.

Alright, check out the interview and if you have not yet been to one of Yvonne and Howard’s networking events, you are missing out on finding good opportunities to make some great business relationships.

Next week’s podcast features the charming Eileen Lichtenstein from Balance and Power.
