episode 120: Build Your Network with Travis Chappell (Rebroadcast) | Ep. 120
Travis Chappell is the host of Build Your Network, one of the top 50 business podcasts. Travis also runs Cool People Cool Places, a personal development retreat for entrepreneurs. Formerly a door-to-door salesman, Travis has had an unusual career path in that he used the community he was part of to launch a business instead of the more traditional route of building a network out of an existing business.
In this episode, Travis discusses how he leveraged his network to launch a successful coaching business and explains why his personal brand was so instrumental to getting the word out.
