#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.
