(me and my close friends, ex NY roomates, Mike and Enedina in Houston last week)
Happy New Year everyone!
I’m writing this at 1:40am. Jet lag from the States to Europe is harsh : (
2023 was a very challenging year for me in just about every aspect of my life. I was laid off from OptiMonk, dealt with back and hearing issues, and close bonds with people I love were put to the test.
However, there were also some exciting things I accomplished like:
- hosting several cocktail parties in multiple cities and inviting people I wanted to meet in person
- I traveled to Moldova (was invited) and gave a talk on the importance of personal branding to dozens of startup founders
- Interviewed 40+ European founders on my podcast
- recently launched a community of b2b podcasters &influencers and help them generate a new source of income through podcast advertising, YouTube, newsletter, and LinkedIn sponsorships.
We got our first client who is going to renew with us for a quarterly sponsorship and just this past week I’ve received two new requests for proposals.
With renewed vigor, optimism, and passion for not just this business but with my relationships, I’m excited about 2024!
Wishing you all a great start to the new year!
Eric M.
