In this episode of Lead with Love, I talk with my friend Chris Ducker, the bestselling author of Virtual Freedom and founder of youpreneur.com — the entrepreneurial mastermind community that helps experts become the go-to leader in their industry.

I love Chris’s approach to building a personal brand to support your business by becoming “somebody’s favorite.” He goes deeper into this process in this episode as well as in his newest book The Rise of the Youpreneur.

Chris has built several businesses since venturing into the world of entrepreneurship in 2004, which today collectively house over 450 full-time employees and generate a multi-seven-figure annual revenue. Chris is featured regularly in Entrepreneur, Inc., Success, and Forbes. He not only brings a wealth of business wisdom to the table, he also shares his heart and humor.

I’m also a keynote speaker at Chris’s live event this year –– join me in London Nov 3-5, 2018! I’ll be talking about building your community and how to lead with love in life and business, You can grab your tickets at youpreneursummit.com. I’d love to meet you face to face.

“We have never been more connected as a human race as we are today, but we’ve also never been more disconnected.”

– CHRIS DUCKER
