Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

I don’t think references are particularly useful to begin with. As I shared during this conversation, I had a situation where I got glowing references for someone and he was a crook.
So I’m unclear why they are even a thing (that includes for getting into grad school and the like).
But I wondered if other people had the same ideas and what they say when people do ask them for client names and contact information.
Does it matter what industry you’re in?
Jim Lee made the point that it might be okay for a dry cleaners or dentist (with permission of course). But for more personal services it’s never going to be a good idea.
Jesse Carrie shared that for lab equipment it’s nice to be able to ask someone who is actually using the software or hardware what their experience is. If it’s buggy or not worth the funds – that’s good to know.
When I asked what you say when someone asks you for references Abby McCloskey said they turn it around and explain that confidentiality it a priority at her firm and they would never share the information of the person asking for references and in the same way they can’t give out references.
It might not be quite as clear if someone has given you their permission but all of us kinda agreed that there are too many things that can go wrong so we don’t know it.
What do you think? Okay? Not okay? Depends on the industry?
