Ep65 Ben Cooper, Founder of Amplify

In this episode, host Matt Nettleton interviews Ben Cooper, founder of Amplify, a business that helps businesses build forecasts and gain clarity on their financials. Ben shares his passion for helping business owners understand their numbers and make informed decisions. He discusses the importance of supporting business owners' unique visions and not comparing oneself to others. Ben also reflects on lessons learned from starting his own business and the value of being a company of one. He emphasizes the significance of networking, adapting plans, and quantifying success to achieve meaningful goals.

Ben Cooper is a Growth Strategist and the Founder of Amplify, helping business owners clarify their goals and create strategic growth plans to hit them sooner (a “GPS for your business”).  

With his roots in Nashville’s music business (he co-wrote the Grammy-nominated Ricky Skaggs album, Mosaic), Ben has a unique ability to sit in the seat of the entrepreneur and value both the creative and more quantitative aspects of each business. He helps clients answer questions like, “When can I afford to pay myself more, hire another person, etc.?” and “What controls can I use to make that happen sooner?” and “How will I know I’m on track?”

Before founding Amplify, Ben stood as the Director of Operations for a private equity startup. Before earning his MBA in Entrepreneurship from Acton School of Business he was a professional songwriter in Nashville (10 songs recorded by Ricky Skaggs).
