How do you go from nowhere to being on the same stage as Richard Branson? The key to success is saying YES! #36

My guest previously LIVE episode is the founder and CEO of Balbert marketing and the founder, host and producer of the Real Business Connections podcast, Ben Albert.

He is a collaborator, connector and visionary and he's due to speak on stage alongside Richard Branson in Las Vegas, very soon!

When Covid hit in March 2020 Ben was a sales executive bobbing along quite nicely in his hometown of Rochester, New York. Within a month he was unemployed and in his own words ‘lost’. He was in a dark place.

Did he say did he stay there and wallow in self-pity? Hell, no!

• He launched a network of podcasts including Real Business Connections (on a mission to actually move the needle on 1 million lives, one conversation at a time!) A Podcast that recently had over 12000 downloads in just 24-hours!

• He's spoken on countless podcasts.

• Founded the GrowGetters Network and networked with new friends that he hopes to support for the rest of his life.

• Worked professionally with multiple businesses, built multiple B2B partnerships and helped numerous brands.

Ben says... ‘There is no key to success. It's a combination lock. And each and every one of us has our own unique combination.’

Ben is an inspiration on so many levels. He has helped, supported and connected me to some of his incredible network since we met just over a year ago.

We talk about his inspiring journey, finding the balance between doing what lights you up and revenue driving activities and the power of saying YES.
