Below is the case study from the book where Chris is featured. This comes directly from the book:Take Chris Nelson for example. Chris was working as a Chief Investment Officer in the banking industry. He had worked in this position for over twenty years. In his time working as an executive in banking, Chris was contacted by someone in the industry and asked to present at a school providing executive training for bankers. His employer allowed it, at the time, and it probably looked good for the employer to have a representative of the bank networking and teaching other bankers. This presentation sparked Chris’s entrepreneurial spirit. He fell in love with speaking, presenting, and teaching. He started teaching at this school a few times per year. Years later, Chris leveraged this connection to build his business. Chris perfected his presentations and teachings, and partnered with this school to turn his presentation into an online course. Chris now offers coaching, advising, and courses to banking executives at bondinvestmentmentor.com. Chris quit his job in 2020. He successfully used his job, and his relationship with the banking school, to quit his job.This Interview This interview is part of a series of case studies that I will be publishing to The Entrepreneur Ride Along Podcast over the coming weeks as I interview successful entrepreneurs in the online business space.
