Today I speak with Joel Wolh who is the co-founder of Bizfluence, an alternative business networking platform to Linkedin that has a greater focus on small businesses and the little guy. He noticed that small businesses do not have the same results as the large fortune 500 companies, and he will post something on Twitter, for example, that gets no traction, but then he’ll comment on someone else’s post and it’ll get 10,000 likes, but he gets almost no new following or traction from that comment. So he wanted to create a space where the little guy could thrive and succeed. Sometimes the greatest impact we can have is not when we’re going around and yelling it from the rooftops, but instead by positively affecting people’s lives quietly and sincerely.

“They’re out there telling you, like Gary Vaynerchuck, who is a genius, but he’s out there telling you, you gotta be posting 218 times a day, and it’s like, ‘I’m a plumber, dude. That’s what I do. I’m really good at plumbing. I’m not really good at posting content and I’m not interested in learning.’ So we’re providing that platform for the average Joe, and really we should just call it averagejoe.com.” 13:55
