This episode features Chris, a seasoned entrepreneur who now dedicates his efforts to coaching small business owners through his initiative "On the Bus." Chris's journey into entrepreneurial coaching stemmed from his dissatisfaction with traditional methods. He eventually bought a franchise of a group that supported entrepreneurs, enhancing it with a sales component called "On the Bus." Here, members, referred to as 'bus riders,' engage in monthly four-hour sessions to discuss challenges, exchange ideas, and hold each other accountable.
Chris brings a novel aspect to his coaching program by integrating his experience with trade shows into a modern, virtual format suitable for today's technological and social landscape. The pandemic catalyzed this adaptation, pushing Chris towards utilizing virtual platforms like the metaverse for conducting trade shows. These virtual trade shows allow businesses to interact and network in a digital space, transcending traditional physical and geographical limitations.
Ultimately, Chris envisions a comprehensive virtual city, "Lipperville," which would host trade shows and provide a vibrant community for businesses to thrive. This city would encompass co-working spaces, retail outlets, a theater, and more, aiming to create a bustling hub of commerce and entertainment catering to small business owners' needs and aspirations.
