What is Genuity you ask?  It's a term Kenny coined to reflect the art of being genuine in your video creations.

 Kenny didn’t decide to be an entrepreneur, it just happened as his love for storytelling got him started on his filmmaking career.

 Kenny has worked on some very impressive movies. One of the short films he created landed him at a showing in the White house sitting alongside Michelle Obama and her girls.  When Kenny is not creating films, he’s helping small business owners tell their stories through video. Kenny recently founded the Content Club where he uses his knowledge and experience to push entrepreneurs out of their comfort zone into video marketing. Learn more about Kenny and Content Club in our interview and check out the links below in the show notes.

Dave hasn’t always an entrepreneur, when we met we were both in W-2 jobs working for corporate America. Learn more about how Dave morphed from a job to owning his own successful company.

Dave graduated from Cal Berkeley in 1982.  After graduating he moved to Arizona and for the next 5 years he was in sales and sales management in high tech sales and marketing for Systems Industries.  He was lured away to a accounting software company (RMO software) in the travel industry which he and his partners sold to TWA and Northwest Airlines in 1989.  This was the real genesis of Dave’s entrepreneurial bug.   

 He then started a same day delivery service which two years later became part on a 120MM IPO rollup (US Delivery).  He became part of the management team and grew the company in the southwest region for the next several years.  

 After seeing the Internet on the cover of Time Magazine in July of 1994 he started what became the largest ISP in Arizona, doubling employees and tripling revenue in 1997.  He sold this to US West (AT&T) and moved back to the Bay Area and took executive positions in two Venture backed software startups over the next few years.  

 During this period, he remodeled his home in Lafayette, CA and became interested in the residential real estate market.  He started a design and build firm in Danville, CA and then partnered up and started DB2 Contractors.  For the last almost 10 years he has been building, investing in, and developing residential real estate.  The diversity of this industry has kept his entrepreneurial spirit energized.  “Each project has its own unique challenges, a creative and financial puzzle that needs to be solved to be successful.”

Welcome to The Breakaway Entrepreneur Podcast

The Breakaway Entrepreneur Podcast is a conversation by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. Each week we’ll discuss what makes entrepreneurs unique, how we think differently, what drives us towards success and how we’ve overcome challenges to breakaway from our competition.

I’m your host Janet Fish. I've been a business coach for 15 years and have had the pleasure to work with over 1000 entrepreneurs in 16 countries. I’ve built multiple successful businesses and am a 2 time Amazon best-selling author. I’m fascinated by the entrepreneur mindset and how entrepreneurs just think differently.

Each week I'll interview real people sharing real-life experiences with an emphasis on overcoming challenges, not becoming an over night success. We'll have frank and fun conversations about what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur, from the mindset to real world challenges.  I hope you'll join us.
