Founded in February 1998, at the suggestion of Thomas’ wife, Penny Power, Ecademy now has over 300,000 members and operations in over 200 countries worldwide.

Although smaller and a lot more exclusive than many other networks in existence today, In the last 10 years, Thomas and Penny have met over 10,000 people in 50 countries and run 3000 events and 2000 training courses - so they certainly are very active!

As a recruiter, I’d always dismissed Ecademy as being too small to be useful to me - but that’s because I’d not fully understood its mission.

Rather than just being a collection of people looking for jobs or social interaction, Ecademy’s focus is to be a Marketplace - where like-minded entrepreneurs & business professionals can meet each other (either online or at face-to-face gatherings) to conduct business and do deals with each other.

So while Ecademy may not be a place where I’d go looking for Candidates, it might just be the place to go trawling for Clients - and I think anyone who is more interested in looking for ‘Buyers’ rather than ‘Sellers’ just might agree.

What’s remarkable about Gary’s story is that he joined LinkedIn just over a month ago (on the advice of his Publisher) - with the express goal of using it to promote his book.

In this Episode, Gary shares the simple, no-nonsense methods he’s employed to achieve this outstanding result - as well as some of the overwhelming & exciting experiences that have happened to him along this journey of discovery.
