[EP58] Creating Limitless Possibilities By Connecting Good People | Kevin Thompson
Manage episode 334246487 series 2967478
In this episode I’m joined by Kevin Thompson. Kevin can simply be described as a super nice guy who has a passion for connecting good people. Forget about the fact that those people he’s connecting are highly successful in business. At the end of the day, he sees character in the person before he ever worries about how much money they make.
Kevin and I dove into how he didn’t even intend on creating the business he now leads and how his humble beginnings have led to him being the “connector” to some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. This interview will be inspiring to anyone that might be wondering how they can build the business and life they’ve always dreamed of by being a super connector!
