Meet Brad Friedman | Digital Marketing Strategist & Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brad Friedman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brad, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought was that I was uniquely qualified to help professional services providers generate revenue online. When I started my business 14 years ago, I looked around and saw that many of the people I had been working with weren’t taking advantage of the internet because of the regulations they have to comply with. My legal background enabled me to help them do this safely.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a digital marketing strategist and coach. What sets me apart from others is that I am a “Recovering Attorney” who works with business owners and professional services providers to take their marketing to the next level. Getting to where I am today had many challenges. 14 years ago, I was often told that my idea was “ahead of its time.” Many lawyers, wealth managers and financial services providers weren’t ready to market on the internet. They were set in their belief that they would be able to grow their business with word-of-mouth marketing. I had a hard time convincing these people that social media WAS word-of-mouth marketing. Over time, businesses started to understand my unique qualifications could actually help them create a new source of revenue online.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend visited me in Denver, we would likely head to the mountains. I love the Rocky Mountains. Many people who are native to Colorado, like me, take the mountains for granted. I do not. We would take my dog to the mountains to play, hike and fly fish. On at least one day, we would enlist my friend Dustin Harcourt of Harcourt Fly Fishing 3G to take us on a float trip down the Colorado River.

Food in mountain towns like Breckenridge, Vail, Glenwood Springs and Aspen is outstanding. So, we would eat well and play for his week-long visit.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would not have been able to start this business without the support of my wife, Laurie. Her neverending confidence that I could turn this idea into a successful business was essential to my success.
