My Progress on hosting 24 dinners in 2024: 2/24 Last month I brought out 10 Exec Coaches. If you are an industry leader or influencer with a following, DM me as I have slots for Q2.
Top Reading Of The Month I came across this diagram from Robert Kiyosaki which really struck a chord. Most people progress in this order: employee, self-employed, business owner, investor.
A lot of people say they are gonna start their own business, but really what they are doing is becoming self-employed. Running a solopreneur agency is an example of this.
To own a business, you should be able to be 100% hands off and still make money. Owning rental properties with a hired property manager is a decent example of this.
Job Postings / Seeking People
My friend is hiring a First Sales Hire at his seed stage HR startup (raised $2M). I am helping him interview candidates. DM me on LinkedIn if you’re qualified.
If anyone knows a business broker, someone who buys and sells businesses in Toronto less than $1M EBITDA, please DM me as I have a buyer interested.
Event Organizers I Am Tracking And Aggregating RI.Events, TechTO, FuckupNights Toronto, Aceocial, Founders Poker, TodoToronto, TorontoEventHub, Ryan Wong, Daivik Goel, Happier_Social. Sometimes I add Bitcoin Bay / Solana Toronto events if I feel relevant to a broad audience.
