How do you build a business that works harder for you than you have to work for it? How do we build a business that can grow beyond you so that it gives you not only wealth and opportunities but also a tremendous amount of freedom? As an army kid, moving from one country to another and learning varied cultures and languages influenced Ken Rochon to become the entrepreneur that he is today. Ken is the co-founder of The Umbrella Syndicate, a PR and marketing firm. He is also a photographer, world traveler, and recipient of America’s Most Influential Business Connector of 2010, among others. He compares himself to a Swiss army knife, having been able to solve various problems through different variables while still finding time to indulge in his passion for photography – an art form that he majestically captures with consummate skill. Today, Ken talks about the genesis of his company and how it morphed into what it is today, and shares his mindset towards success.

Change is constant, but if we are to change, it must be for the better. We have to try a little harder to be better. Aaron is excited to share his new office, a relatively large conference room that has been turned into a studio where he’s invested in building the backdrops, the sets, and in getting sound equipment. Elevating your environment and having better guests will make your podcast even better and more valuable and have greater takeaways for the people to experience and appreciate. What you offer to the world will be reflected in your well-being, so step up and get better results.
