Join Jen on another episode of The Science of Business Development as she sits down with Cory Warfield, waiter turned entrepreneur.

After meeting at an event where they both spoke, Jen and Cory became fast friends a few years ago. They discuss what they’ve both learned from each other during that time and Cory highlights his journey on becoming an entrepreneur. From being homeless to sitting on multiple boards and launching multiple businesses, he shares his path and how it’s helped shape him into the businessman he is today.

The pair also walk through everything from how to grow a business using social media to navigating the emotional turmoil of starting a company. Cory leans into how he learned to create video content on LinkedIn during the early stages of the birth of “viral videos.” Going from his first video with only three views and no likes to three years later turning his videos into a 6-figure following/engagement and millioans of views around the globe.

Cory’s currently working on setting up his company ShedWool (a play on the world Schedule) to become a multi-billion dollar company. 

Listen in and learn how to turn disappointments into character building, the magic behind social media platforms like LinkedIn, and the power of connecting.
