Today my guest on the I Want To Know podcast is Dennis Geelen. Dennis Dennis is an “accidental solopreneur.” He's literally written the book on that. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, Dennis accidentally fell into being a solopreneur when he found himself laid off for the first time at the age of 43. He decided to bet on himself and is now at the age of 48, five years into his solopreneur journey. He's written four books, created three online courses, consulted for dozens of companies, spoken at numerous events, launched a newsletter, and is having a lot of fun helping others do the same. Dennis is also active on Twitter and LinkedIn.
Here are some of the most valuable moments in their conversation:
