Instead of randomly building your network, what if we could create communities that helped everyone involved achieve their goals together? These intentional relationships can help accelerate growth and success through a common commitment to learning, encouragement and accountability. 

Pete Sorensen, Vice President Strategic Initiatives at ConnectWise joins us to help kick off IT Channel Summit and IT Nation Connect with some thoughts about the power of community. Highlights include:

The IT Nation Mission for the community is "Wise Together, Rise Together".

A focus to provide resources and support for the vendors in the community.

The peer group story often goes from, 'misery loves company' to 'I can learn and not make mistakes myself,' and then to 'benchmarking' and success. 

Viewing mentorship as a gift.

Pete’s love for the Iowa State football program.

Leadership lessons learned from the farm and his family
