Fred Cary is an internationally known entrepreneur and business thought leader with over three decades of leadership experience and transformational strategies that have resulted in billions of dollars in corporate value. His success stories cross boundaries. He has built high-growth businesses in finance, software, mobile technologies, data, retail, consumer products, strategic services, and e-commerce.
As the CEO of IdeaPros, Fred has helped hundreds of brilliant entrepreneurs find their purpose and create their legacy. He produces a weekly show for entrepreneurs that has been viewed by over 4 million people, and his advice as a thought leader and business expert is widely sought after by both startup entrepreneurs and much larger companies.
Fred knows all about how to make money. We start our conversation with a discussion around the pain point in his journey that led him to start giving back. Statistically, most entrepreneurs are what Fred calls “outsiders”, meaning they’re not from an Ivy League school with top notch connections. Fred’s mission is to turn those outsiders into insiders. We talk about some of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make, the importance of building a legacy, and why you shouldn’t be afraid of failure. We also discuss the impact entrepreneurship has on your mental health and offer advice for those considering the entrepreneurial journey.
What’s Inside:
- How Fred turns “outsider” entrepreneurs into insiders
- Common entrepreneurship mistakes and misconceptions
- Advice for those considering the entrepreneurial journey.
