6 years ago, my life changed forever when I was taking a shower...am I allowed to say that on LinkedIn?I had spent the last 10 years in the corporate world, climbing the ladder in a publicly traded tech company and moving all over the world with my wife and young family.Every opportunity that came about for me, I can tie directly back to the power of connection...a value I inherited from my dad.My entire life, he instilled in me the importance of relationships...and I saw it firsthand in the way he created a successful career directly through his network.From my college days, to early mentors, to connections I made across the business in the company I worked for...Every door that opened was a direct result of building authentic connections and keeping them up.I had incredible opportunities in the corporate world - it was a great company, with a great culture - but I had known for some time that there was a pull to do something different.Meanwhile, the company was facing increasing challenges going head to head with the tech giants in the cloud world...and it was getting a lot tougher.In 2016, the company I was working for went private. It was the right thing to do, but it sure wasn't pretty.By that point, I was burned out and beaten up. We made a trip back from Switzerland to Colorado to visit my family.On Christmas Eve 2016, the fateful shower took place. I had a lightning bolt moment ⚡️ where I realized that the values of human connection I learned from my dad were the thing that I held most dear...and had brought me the greatest success.It was in that moment the idea for Contact Mapping was born.Fast forward...→ We have been able to touch the lives of over 20,000 entrepreneurs in 5 short years→ We have created a vibrant community of authentic connectors creating opportunities daily through their networks→ We are changing the way the world connects by leading with authenticity...and showing it works!Contact Mapping is the #1 System to help Entrepreneurs and Business Builders create more value from their network of connections.
