Dave Kerpen...From Modest Beginnings To Entrepreneurial Superstar!

Dave Kerpen...Serial Entrepreneur, Global Keynote Speaker, Best Selling Author, VC Investor, Husband, and Father!

Dave Kerpen started his journey with nothing, putting himself through college as a vendor selling cracker jacks (not hot dogs or beer) at the Boston Garden and Fenway Park.

As an unbelievable salesman and marketer even back then, he was making $1,000 a game.

He had a sponsored wedding,  convincing businesses to donate everything from flowers to the venue, and at the end of the day was able to donate $20,000 to charity.

In 2006 while teaching Dave, along with the help of his wife Carrie, started Likeable Local, a social media software company serving thousands of small businesses, as well as Likeable Media.

They were a great success and were catapulted onto the rest of their career.

Fast forward and today Dave and Carrie have their hands in a great number of businesses.

Dave is among the most popular writers in LinkedIn’s Influencer program, one of the most-read contributors for Inc.com , and has been featured by CNBC, BBC, ABC World News Tonight, the CBS Early Show, the TODAY Show, the New York Times, and more.

Dave has close to 700,000 followers on LinkedIn, although for marketing he views TikTok and Instagram as the social media outlets of choice.

Asked what he attributes his success to, and one of the keys is to think outside of the box. In other words, if you have a great idea that may be outside of the mainstream you should pursue it.
