Facebook Group Software - GroupsNinja
* When you combine transparency , highs and lows people become invested in your story
* Josh (photo of us together) - does this with Snow - he has an army of people across his socials, invested in the journey of snow, supporting the ‘little’ guy against crest colgate
* Keeping an eye on the competition
* They LOVE helping — Josh frequently asks for connections or help and they do so willingly
* Roland is a master at buying into bigger networks
* He targets who he wants to “be in a room with” and figures out how to pay to get into a conversation with them
* Attending conferences (eg. VIP meet and greet)
* Paying for a “lunch meeting"
* Even booking Richard Branson to keynote T&C, then interviewing him on stage for his podcast
When I launched Noobru .. Through our charity giving partner - project healthy children - we have a goal of fortifying 1 Billion meals by 2025That means we need sell over $100m worth of product So before even launching I reached out to some of the most awesome people in my network to assemble a world class board of advisorsWe now have a rock star board .. including legends you may have heard of such as: Jordan Rolband, Dave Stellato and Josh Elixeze plus 2x Private Equity Guys, A former CFO of 9-Figure Flower Brands and A Medical Doctor Noobru has accelerated a lot faster as a results of conversations and contacts driven by this team - and I am seriously grateful they’re on our side!
