Ken Coleman is host of The Ken Coleman Show and the top-rated EntreLeadership Podcast, and author of One Question: Life-Changing Answers from Today’s Leading Voices. He has a new book out called The Proximity Principle that helps people understand how and why to level up their current network.
In today’s episode we discuss Ken’s story of how he grew his brand through getting close to strategic people. Throughout his career, he’s consistently “leveled up” his success through systematically making sure that he was around the right people.
You’ll learn how the Proximity Principle can benefit you and your goals, how to get in front of the right people that can help you grow, how Ken runs his shows, as well as the questions he asks people to get them in the right headspace to grow their careers. As a little bonus, he even gives Matt some advice on how to really connect with people as an introvert who doesn’t like “networking.”
In order to do what I want to do or be what I want to be, I’ve got to be around the people and the places where these things happen.
