How One Leader Rebuilt His Business and His Confidence through Service and Digital Networking

In this episode of Bridging Generations in Sales and Outreach, host Butch Nicholson sits down with Andrew Brummer author, coach, and fractional COO to discuss how he bounced back after a business collapse by transforming his mindset and embracing digital relationship-building.

At 53, Andrew found himself with no local network, no safety net, and no clear next step. Instead of scrambling for a quick fix, he invested in intentional outreach and service, eventually building a trusted network of 5,000 new contacts and forging deep connections with over 500 of them.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How Andrew rebuilt his brand through volunteering, coaching, and deliberate relationship-building
• The exact digital tools and strategies he used to scale his outreach without losing authenticity
• Why mindset not just tactics is the foundation for sustainable success in modern business
• How his philosophy of “planting seeds for trees you’ll never sit under” drives his networking style

Whether you’re a CEO nearing a transition or a seasoned leader looking to build a stronger digital presence, Andrew’s story is proof that generosity, strategy, and persistence pay off.
