#187: Gain the Most Value From Your Podcasting | Ben Albert

When COVID hit, Ben Albert was furloughed from work. He found himself down and out, staring at an empty handle of Jim Beam whiskey. He was unemployed, depressed, and felt unworthy.   Hesitantly, Ben opened his MacBook and started reaching out to strangers on Linkedin. This spearheaded his entrepreneurial journey. The rest is history.    Now Ben hosts a network of 5 podcasts called “Real Business Connections,” runs a massively successful marketing firm, Balbert Marketing, and has replaced his established sales income in just over a year. Ben found his way.   Once an underdog and now a successful entrepreneur, Ben is passionate about helping other underdogs find their way and achieve their dreams. He is on a mission to actually move the needle on one million lives, one conversation at a time.     Website: https://realbusinessconnections.com/    Free Consultation/ Meet and Greet: https://calendly.com/balbertmarketing/zoom30    ​​Linkedin: @Balbert Marketing   Facebook (Podcast): @Real Business Connections Facebook (Business): @Balbert Marketing   Instagram: @realbenalbert   Youtube: @Real Business Connections   Apple Podcasts: @Real Business Connections   Spotify: @Real Business Connections Network     1:04 "I just got started." -Ben Albert   2:14 The power of more than one.   6:09 "Curiosity is something I'm abundant in just naturally." -Ben Albert   7:30 The value of a powerful playbook early on.   9:23 "I like deciding who I'm going to talk to, and I find conversations fascinating." -Brian Keith   11:19 Making the boring mundane work as an opportunity to accomplish more.   12:27 "The CAN system: there’s three Cs - create, content, collaborate - and networking." -Ben Albert
