Welcome to the inaugural episode of the White Pony Network Podcast. Joining me in this episode is a very special guest and dear friend of mine, Joshua Giuliani. (Show Notes)

Josh left his corporate job after 7 years to found Tondo Digital, a web design & marketing agency. He has recently launched a second fast growing start-up, Nava Water and is heavily involved in the investment and mining of Cryptocurrency. Josh has helped me with many aspects of my professional career of late, including building the White Pony Network website.

 

In this episode Josh shares with us:

  • The impact of moving away from home and out of the burbs
  • How he quit his 7 year corporate job and took the leap on his own ventures
  • The valuable advice and experience he learnt when pitching to investors
  • Josh breaks down his very successful 7 Step Sales method to selling anything
  • His involvement in mining cryptocurrency, BNI group, his latest start-up and much more including Josh’s awesome answers to my favourite question The Big 5: What 5 experiences and/or resources have given you the most development, best results and greatest success on your journey so far.

    • One other thing I should mention. Last year when we did the Outsett podcast (that’s with two t’s on the end) after about 5 episodes, Josh and I made a rule that we could only do 1 take. That pushed us to be better at it, and the following 1.5 hour conversation was all one take.
