580: (Solo) How I Landed Richard Branson in My First 4 Months of Business (You Can Too)

Description:

Four months into starting Foundr, I landed an interview with billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson — without connections, without experience, and while building my very first business from scratch.

In this episode, I break down the exact networking and outreach strategy I used to connect with one of the world’s most famous founders, plus how you can apply it to land meetings, partnerships, or interviews with anyone in your industry — even if you’re starting from zero.

Here’s what you’ll take away:
• The “serve first, ask later” networking strategy every entrepreneur should know • How to identify and connect with gatekeepers to reach high-profile people • Creative ways to create value so industry leaders want to give you their time

If you’ve been holding back from reaching out to someone you think is “too big,” this episode will give you the exact steps and confidence to make it happen.


This is a brand new solo series I’m testing, and I’d love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
