Welcome to "Awake in the Network: Where Destiny Happens," through honest conversations, genuine laughter, and the kind of authentic connections that change lives.
Meet Your Hosts Who Don't Take Themselves Too Seriously
Billy Dexter – The networking wizard who's built 21 successful networks across United Airlines, Monster, MTV Networks, and Heidrick & Struggles. His superpower? Finding the commonalities that turn strangers into collaborators.

She's the one steering the ship, asking the questions that matter, and somehow managing to conduct interviews while her dog Lexie provides unscripted comedy relief. Her mission? Helping people slow down to speed up in our hyper-connected world.
John St. Augustine – Dubbed "The Voice of America" by CBS legends Charlie Osgood and Bill Curtis, John brings decades of radio wisdom and the philosophy that every moment matters. Former collaborator with Dr. Oz, bestselling author, and master of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary – he's the guy who can make 5,000 NASA scientists do whatever he wants with just hand gestures.
