Inner Game, Outer Gain: Mindset, Messaging & Client Attraction with Nancy Fox | Nancy Fox | The Cyber Savvy Woman | EP 108

Reinvention doesn’t have to mean becoming a tech expert — it can mean becoming more intentional.

In this episode of THE CYBER SAVVY WOMAN, host Rachele Schainker sits down with Nancy Fox—author of Network Like a Fox and CEO of WYZE Rainmakers—to talk about strategic networking, mindset, and how women business owners can use AI as an advantage without getting overwhelmed.

Nancy shares her journey from a corporate career in women’s lingerie (including leading product development, design, and marketing) into coaching and training—and why the modern business landscape demands smarter positioning, clearer niches, and more targeted relationship-building.

You’ll also hear Nancy’s practical framework for “networking like a fox”: building the right mix of decision-makers, referral sources, and influencers, and using tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator and AI-driven research to save time, money, and energy.

In this conversation, we cover:

• What reinvention really looks like in the age of AI • How coaching and networking changed with technology (and Zoom) • How to stop networking “everywhere” and start choosing the right rooms • How to pick a primary niche + a backup niche without fear • AI’s best use case right now: research, targeting, and messaging insights • “Crisis point” messaging: what makes a client reach out now • Why portfolio careers are becoming more common (and how to do it wisely)
