Summary

There are certain people who progress at a feverish pace. My friend Dave Kerpen is a serial entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, visionary, and man of many, many traits. You could also say he’s a hustler that never stops learning. Fun fact: Dave was one of the only “Twitter friends” that I met in real life early on as my former social media personality, DKNY PR GIRL. I trusted him with my secret, and he was the one that convinced me I should come out from behind the curtain. A friendship began that expanded to include his wife Carrie Kerpen, also a stellar Leave Your Mark guest! I was honored to have Dave write the forward to Leave Your Mark’s paperback edition. This episode is long overdue, but its timing assures that you will get the most out of his long, illustrious career and knowledge! We dive into his signature orange as a unique personal branding trait, how to overcome emotional barriers like fear and control, and so much more. Dave shares his favorite efficiency tools and introduces Apprentice, a platform connecting college students with entrepreneurial opportunities, and his approach to delegation. We also explore his new venture into public service. This episode is brimming with actionable advice on career growth, personal branding, and balancing work and personal life.
