His book aims to help aspiring entrepreneurs be successful, and his approach isn't just about retreading old ground or filling pages up with meaningless fluff. It's an insightful look into what it takes to become the best you can be in business!

Raising investment, changing careers, or leaving your city? Then you owe it to yourself to have coffee with 50 people.

Each time I make a significant change in my life, I have coffee with 50 people to get their views on my plans.

If you’re raising investment for a start-up, changing careers, or moving to a new city, then you owe it to yourself to have coffee with 50 people before making the jump.

Setting the goal of having coffee with 50 people forces you to be clear about your goals. Making the goal public, one person at a time, also makes it much stronger. Having 50 coffees is good because then you have to commit to the specific move that you want to make. You’ll also get input from intelligent and interesting people.

Learn about The Medici Effect
Why do so many world-changing insights come from people with little or no related experience? Charles Darwin was a geologist when he proposed the theory of evolution. And it was an astronomer who finally explained what happened to the dinosaurs.

Frans Johansson’s The Medici Effect shows how breakthrough ideas often occur when we bring concepts from one field into new, unfamiliar territory and offers examples of how we can turn the ideas we discover into path-breaking innovations

"It's not what you sell, but how you sell it." - Greg Waidnann

Todays Episode
Scott Proposki arrived at 3 O'clock Coffee Cafe early, eager to learn from the celebrated football enthusiast and master of business success - Greg Waidmann. Scott had been a fan for years and was excited to pick his brain about growth strategies.

As he waited, Scott looked around the cafe, taking in all its details. It was an inviting space with exposed brick walls and comfortable chairs that invited conversation. He noticed an old man sipping coffee in one corner and two students huddled together over books in another corner.

The clock struck three o’clock and suddenly, the door opened, revealing Greg Waidmann confidently entering the room like a celebrity arriving at a movie premiere. All eyes were on him as he approached Scott's table with a big grin on his face while shaking hands with both enthusiasm and finesse before sitting down across from him.

Greg started right away, sharing his personal story that led him to success and valuable lessons learned along the way—all peppered with anecdotes about life between wins on the field or deals made behind closed doors that kept everyone engaged throughout their conversation.

At first glance, it seemed like they were discussing business. Still, diving deeper into each topic, they discovered shared values which further strengthened their connection beyond just talking shop — making this episode truly special!  By 4:00 pm when it came time to say goodbye, neither felt ready yet wanted to respect the other's schedule so they ended their session having made plans for more conversations soon enough, leaving both feelings inspired after such an engaging chat full of insight-filled gems!

Overview

Network Lead Exchange is an online network of businesses organized by Chapters or Regions with the intent of promoting new business referrals across the Network to other businesses within their Chapter. 

Members earn commissions for the referrals they send and gain access to a new source of leads from businesses they know and trust. Chapters or Regions are sold as franchises. 

Franchise owners can invite other businesses in their area to join their Chapter with one participating business per category (based on product or service designator). 

Once a new member joins under a specific category, no other businesses that sell the same product or offer the same service can join the Exchange in that Chapter.

Each business that joins the Exchange will set up a profile for their business that details their business category, products and services offered, promotions, and more.

On the Exchange, members will have the opportunity to network with one another and will be able to track referrals sent and received and sales generated from the Exchange.

Through the platform, members will exchange ideas, share promotions and events, learn from pros and access a network of service providers that provide specific incentives to all members across Network Lead Exchange.

A coffee conversation with Rob Trendiak an expert headshot photographer from Vancouver who joined Scott Proposki in discussing being a photographer. His wife told him one day that he was a photographer, so he started being a photographer, right now! And that was all Rob needed to hear, and he never looked back on doing anything else.

Rob's grandfather was a respected fighter pilot in WWII; he later combined his military work as a pilot and photographer to become an aerial photographer, which also sparked Rob's life as a photographer. 

Rob and his wife took full advantage of the downtime caused by COVID and created a beautiful family with two kids under two. They share stories of rebuilding life as photographers and maintaining positivity after COVID. 

Rob Trendiak is an entrepreneur who loves to help others. He has a fun and positive outlook on life, which is evident in his stylish green hair. Rob and how wife also owns three hair salons in Vancouver, British Columbia, so he knows a thing or two about the beauty industry too! 

He enjoys working with her and helping her business mindset. When he's not busy helping out at the salon, Rob likes to spend time with his family and friends. He also enjoys playing sports and spending time outdoors.
