What if every veteran business person was to help a beginning business person? Chances are that we would have less failure and more opportunities. What if every person was a mentor to another person? I improved as a business owner leading a team of very talented people when I was in the company of successful business entrepreneurs like Jerry Seliccia, Floyd Wickman, and Mark Victor Hansen.

Where does a person in need begin? How does today’s entrepreneur get in the company of other successful entrepreneurs and learn from their success and failure?

In this blended media blog post, you will learn my story and how the sharing fire concept helped get me to where I am today. It keeps getting better and better every year, but that success came at the cost of many reinventions and failures. I'm grateful for the people who helped ignite the flame of success and guided me through challenges.

I never knew that business people could network at college until I made my first networking connection. Back in 1977 while attending the University of Detroit, I met Jerry Seliccia. At one time he was president of Ambience Recordings, which was where I ended up getting my first job. I met Jerry during a break outside class having a smoke. I can tell you that by now I knew I was going into some type of production business. Little did I know that my new friend Jerry would be the start of what would eventually become a career in audio and video production, audio and video forensics, and marketing.

In the following audio interview for http://www.SharingFire.com my friend and a client of Primeau Productions--Marc Hardy, PhD--and I spoke for awhile about the concept of people who influence other people. The influential people give others a leg up to the next level of success, hence "sharing fire."
