About the author

Jared’s childhood was split between Phoenix, Az, and Snowflake, AZ. Jared’s sense of writing and adventure was established with the help of his fourth grade teacher. She had introduced him to authors like C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. This was combined with the stories of his Grandfather as a Seabee with the U.S. Navy during World War II, and the stories of how the Quan (Guan) family participated in the romancing of the three kingdoms in China.

Jared had achieved a milestone with his book Ezekiel’s Gun getting published in 2010, adventure/spy novel. Jared has hopes to have several more books published in the future. He would like to travel the world and see places like China, Europe, and South Korea.

Reviews

[Daniel Yocom · Rating 5 out of 5]

Networking: An Honest and Genuine Connection by Jared Quan is the written compilation of the years of Jared’s journey of learning how to make connections with other people. Check out the credentials from his author biography below to see how many groups he is involved in, and I know from working with him on a few of these that there are more that aren’t listed.

You may consider this a self-help book. In many ways it is. What Jared makes clear though is if you approach networking with others purely on the premise of what they can do for you, it isn’t going to work well. This sets the premise of his book of being a learn how to be present in the moment and help other people.

Networking: An Honest and Genuine Connection is an easy 100-page read. You can easily read this book in a single setting. If you do that, and you’re serious about wanting to learn how to network, then you should flip right back to the front and read it again. This shorter presentation of the information, and the focus of the topic, make this a great book to go back through again and again, writing notes, and exploring what you are doing and what works for you.

I recommend Networking: An Honest and Genuine Connection for any person who wants to learn the art of networking and creating a network that will last.
