E. 49: Carl Gould on Having The Guts to Make the Obnoxious Offer No One Else is Willing to Make
Today, I'm bringing on a leader in the coaching and consulting world.
Badass business owner, Carl Gould.
Now, it seems like everyone and their mother is a business coach these days but Carl is going to put us all to shame.
First: he built 3 (!) multi-million dollar businesses by the age of 40.
Then, he started and launched the super successful business and coaching advisory company, 7 Stage Advisors, where, since 2002, Carl has mentored the launch of over 5,000 businesses and has trained, certified, and accredited over 7,000 business coaches and mentors.
Carl has written 9 books, co-authored books like Blueprint For Success with Ken Blanchard and Stephen R. Covey, and he has spoken at Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within seminar. Plus, he has run the New York City Marathon twice!
So, yeah. He’s done some things.
On top of all this, he's just a really cool, laid-back guy with a lot of great war stories and I am so excited for him to share them with you.
