WARRIOR of Trust

It seems that many entrepreneurial journeys just seem to unfold, as opposed to executing some grand master plan. Today our guest is here not only to use himself as an example of what he did with 15 hours per week but to offer you some great bite-sized entrepreneurial tips. And perhaps a different way to look at what might be some of your biggest obstacles.

Damon Brown is an entrepreneur, journalist, speaker, app creator and author focused on how technology can connect us and help us achieve things that support the lifestyle we want. Damon co-founded the popular platonic connection app Cuddlr and led it to an acquisition within a year, all while being the primary caretaker of his infant son.

The experience made him realize that you do not need to sacrifice everything to make an actual entrepreneurial impact and inspired his best-selling book, The Bite-Sized Entrepreneur: 21 Ways to Ignite Your Passion & Pursue Your Side Hustle. This is his 18th book. Damon has spoken at the second stage of the TED Conference and writes a column for Inc.com called “Sane Success.”
