“About me” really means this is where I get to tell you about the awesome things I’ve done so I can impress you, right?Perfect, let’s get that out of the way (so I can really tell you if we should connect) : • Raised in Upstate, NY.• College dropout turned online poker professional.• Earned pro athlete salary playing poker from a couch.• Led a 7-figure fantasy sports syndicate.• Gambling was cool, but doesn’t play well with the US government.• Got a real job designing and selling boxes to the fastest growing DTC brands in the world.• Been called an “expert” in cold chain shipping by people way smarter than me.• Sold $500mm+ in B2B.• Advised companies in GTM & Sales that have raised in excess of $2B• Coached sales executives in everything from Packaging to SaaS.• Married the best woman ever (Biggest accomplishment)• Raised the best brother ever (Other biggest accomplishment)(I’m pretty awesome, huh?)Well here’s the other side of above : • Judged by family & friends for dropping out of college.• Went broke and lost it all twice before making it in poker.• Made less than minimum wage for 2 years before the fantasy sports syndicate took off.• Worked 80 hour weeks scaling warehouse buildings to get any meeting I could.• Got put on a 90 day PIP with $450 in the bank.• Had beaten into me “I’m not smart enough because I didn’t go to a elite University”So, now the question is, “Do I talk to this guy?” Well, here it goes :I’m an average guy, with a superpower.My superpower?Searching, filtering, identifying, and learning from the smartest people in the world in specific topics.• This is the reason I’ve done some pretty cool stuff above.• This is the reason, against all odds, “average Chris” became not so average.Point is, I’ve picked up skills that when combined together make me pretty dangerous in business.I'm constantly learning, but already have an interesting perspective that you’re not going to find elsewhere.If you identify as one of the below, we should talk: • Want to take sales career to new level• Sick of being average• CEO struggling with sales motion• Buying packaging and feel misunderstood.• Interesting and curious as hell.-Chris
