Creating Your Own Opportunity, Finding Mentorship, and Starting Online Businesses with Stephen Somers - a podcast by Dan Cumberland: Career & Meaning Consultant, Speaker, Blogger

I met Stephen Somers a few months back and immediately resonated with his story and his work. He is the CEO and co-founder of Marketplace Superheroes. As you'll hear in his story, what started as a curiosity and desire to self educate around online business turned into an informal externship, then partnership, and finally multiple new endeavors in online business. He's so much fun to talk to and I love the mission behind what Stephen and his business partner are doing.

There are so many great take aways from his story. A few examples are how he created opportunities for himself and took risks to go where he could get exposure to the things that he wanted to learn and master.

In this episode you'll learn:

• What Stephen does
• Has entrepreneurship always been a part of who he is?
• His process of letting go of past dreams
• How his family reacted to his ideas of entrepreneurship
• The importance of building a network 
• How to start connecting to people
• How he started selling online
• How did he transition from his job to entrepreneurship
• How he found his business partner and mentor
• When is the right time to start your dream
• His approach to partnerships in the business
• How he handles the business bumps along the way
• How he handles the temptation to quit when things are hard
• Where he got the resolve to go on
• Where he finds meaning in his work
