On today’s episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius chats with Derek Coburn, the author of ‘Networking Is NOT Working’ and the co-founder and CEO of CADRE, an un-networking community in Washington, DC, which currently supports over 100 CEOs and business leaders.
In this episode, Derek and I talked about:
- How Derek overcame childhood trauma, made his personality stronger, and built his ‘rejection muscles’
- How Derek and Darius started their books and how it changed their lives
- Creating value in our lives and living for the present
- And other topics…
Meet Derek:
Derek Coburn, Founder and CEO of cadre, an unconventional networking community in Washington, DC, and Baltimore, MD, supports over 100 CEOs. Starting as a financial advisor in 1998, he thrived by outworking others. During an economic downturn, he shifted focus to existing clients and experimented with unconventional ideas, forming an “un-networking” group. This tripled his revenue in 18 months, leading to the creation of cadre. Now, he’s penned his first book on connecting remarkable professionals.
