Speed skater Steven Bradbury created history in Salt Lake City when he became the first Australian to win a Winter Olympic Gold Medal. Off the back of that, Steve has created a fantastic small business.
His remarkable and unlikely victory was achieved after a spectacular final-lap spill took out his four rivals. Bradbury threw his arms up in disbelief and smiled as he crossed the finish line.
During my fireside chat with Steve, you’ll discover:
- What it means to “Do a Bradbury!”
- Why surrounding yourself with A-Players is good for business
- What the smart alternative is to giving up
- How Steve built and maintains a solid speaking business after 13 years
- Plus plenty more marketing GOLD!
I’m also joined by my old mate Lukeee, as we take you behind-the-scenes of my most successful Facebook post for the past 12-months. We share how it came about, and what we did to get a reach of 15,000+ and an extra 1,000+ unique visits to this website. It all started with a blog post titled 7 Graphic Design Fails.
Yep, it’s another big show. Let’s get stuck right into episode 234 of Australia’s #1 marketing podcast. Go!
