What if true workplace autonomy wasn't about working alone — but about working in alignment?

In this episode of Wine After Work, Bryce sits down with Virginia Muzquiz, widely known as The Referral Diva® — founder of Master Connectors and creator of the Referrals on Demand® system.

Virginia believes autonomy doesn't come from grinding harder or escaping structure — it comes from aligning your work with your values, strengths, and relationships. Whether you're in a corporate role or building your own business, the right environment creates trust, breathing room, and sustainable success.

Through her work, Virginia helps entrepreneurs reduce dependency on hustle and cold outreach by building referral ecosystems and strategic alliances that feel natural — and profitable.

This episode is a powerful conversation about designing work that supports your genius, honors your values, and actually feels like home.
