Last week Yappy Group turned 12 and while it’s impossible to get our entire team together with the US etc in play we had a celebration in our Perth office. I’m so proud of our team, what we’ve built and what we are building. To think this all started from very humble beginnings in a suburban garage is mind blowing. Empowering B2B businesses with transformational growth is such a great thing to wake up to everyday. Just last week we won over $68M in contracts for clients with companies they’ve always dreamed of working with but never could until Yappy. Not bad for a week and takes us well beyond $3B in wins in the last couple of years alone. I’m also incredibly proud of the impact we’ve made through philanthropy but more on that another day. The more we grow the more impact we’ve been able to make. I’d like to take this moment to thank our incredible clients, partners, investors and advisors all of which are allowing us to get to our goals while getting to theirs. Nothing beats a win win 🏆 It’s not often CEOs and Founders stop and reflect and celebrate the wins. I’ve learned so much and grown so much both individually and as a company. To that end… Each week for the next 12 weeks I’m going to share one of my most valuable lessons that have helped us achieve remarkable things. Until then I’m keen to hear how you celebrate the wins in your company? Here’s to the next 12 years. Yappy Days! #ceo #growth #tech

🎙️I tempt you this year to fall on your face as much as you can... Why? Because you need to embrace your fears and welcome the possibility of making mistakes. You need to challenge yourself to take bold risks and learn from your biggest failures. Great accomplishments come from daring ventures, so let's redefine success by embracing the journey of stumbling and falling. It is through these experiences that we gain valuable knowledge. Get ready for an incredible transformation! #EmbraceTheFear #LearnFromMistakes #BoldVentures #SuccessJourney

Tiger Woods is arguably one of the greatest athletes and golfers of all time. Yet throughout his career, he multiple times deconstructed his swing and started over. When it comes to business, the parallels with golf are striking. Both require precision, strategy, and constant refinement to achieve success. Just as a golfer might deconstruct their swing to improve their game, businesses can benefit immensely from breaking down their operations to the core and rebuilding with a fresh perspective. Getting back to basics isn't a sign of weakness; it's a strategic move towards sustainable success. By revisiting fundamentals, reassessing goals, and realigning strategies, businesses can uncover hidden opportunities, streamline processes, and ultimately drive growth. So, don't be afraid to take a step back, analyze, and rebuild. Sometimes, it's those foundational adjustments that pave the way for the greatest successes. cda Ventures LLC helps companies do just that across strategy, operations and digital transformations. #BusinessStrategy #BacktoBasics #GrowthMindset

Actually one repost isn’t enough with all my excitement…. “We are building a religion We are building it bigger We are widening the corridors And adding more lanes” It’s actually a spot on statement. -This is a new mission, a new calling, we are building a new paradigm in sports business and investments -This is big, bigger than all of us, a network of interrelated business and investment opportunities -We are widening the corridors, making more accessible investing for athletes and retail investors alongside some of the biggest names in sports -We are adding more lanes, trading on the NAV, unlocking liquidity, and building new lanes for wealth creation. “A limited edition We are now accepting callers For these pendant key chains”…. Ok we don’t got pendant key chains yet, but screw it, you want one… hit me up I’ll get em’. LFG. Ok, I’m done reposting for the day….. …maybe.
