Ep. 50. Where does confidence come from? Lean into vulnerability, with Ben Albert

Ben Albert is the founder and CEO of Balbert marketing and the founder, host and producer of the Real Business Connections podcast.

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, taking comfort in a bottle of whiskey. Did he say did he stay there and wallow in self-pity? Hell, no!

He re-launched the Rochester Groovecast podcast. He started the Everything Balbert blog. He taught a podcast in class at Rochester prep high school and became a marketing consultant. He launched Rochester Business Connections. And there’s more ...

Over the last 2 years, he has been fortunate enough to work professionally with over 40 businesses, built multiple B2B partnerships and helped numerous brands. He's spoken on countless podcasts and networked with new friends that he hopes to support for the rest of his life.

Wow! See what happens when you put the bottle down and put your mind to something. As you would imagine, our conversation is jam-packed and full of advice and wise words. From stacking your skills to amplifying the underdog to leaning into vulnerability and what to do if you're too short to play basketball.
