Dude, it's me again - bad penny? Or good omen - I have always been a half full or more person.
I have a very good guy in LA who is running business building seminars and then one on one consulting. He was the youngest ever Creative Director of an ad agency in Australia and is very well known and highly thought of there. He built a very big multi-agency group and has effectively retired but he could not retire.
If you are interested I could hook you up.
He is godfather to my daughter if that gives you sufficient context
My business mantra to owners: make yourself redundant so you can work on, not in the business.

Haha I had to lookup the bad penny reference and I'm definitely using it going forward. Not a bad penny at all my friend, more like a welcomed guest!
I'm all about the philosophy of automating as much of your life as possible in order to maximize your time not doing work. I'd absolutely be interested in the connection and I appreciate you even offering. I'm not entirely sure what I'd be able to help him out with seeing as he's pretty much doing what I'm half-assed attempting to do here, but networking is never a bad option.
He cannot do it all himself! He has offsiders who fulfil aspects of the business mentoring. I hear you though. I thought it might look a bit random - I have a propensity to think that everyone thinks as I do about trust! If you want to look him up (nothing betrayed here, he is pretty well known) his name is Siimon Reynolds and his business is called the Fortune Institute. Yes, Siimon with two i's. His wife was quite a well known tv presenter in NY. Over to you! Let me know if I can assist in any way.
Holy shit, that guy is big business. He's kind of where I'd like to be in 10-20 years. My best bet here would be to work for him and learn from him and his colleagues. He'd be able to teach me way more than I'd probably be able to assist with his top tier work.
I concur! As I said, over to you! Anyone who has been involved in a billion dollar business at the Board level is going to have a few pearls of wisdom and you could probably do worse than him!
