Blake's innovative sales approaches, creative connection strategies and relationship-building methods have gotten him hired to deliver speeches on over 1000 in-person stages and invited to work with companies such as Lululemon, LinkedIn and Microsoft. Blake is also the producer of the 55-year event series for business leaders, called “Thank U Live.” It is the annual gratitude tradition for entrepreneurs to look back on their year, celebrate their progress and appreciate the people in their life, by delivering hundreds of thank you messages in real-time. One of his current passion projects is called “Dad Making History” as a way to help fellow dads connect even more creatively with their kids. It is a community of entrepreneurial dads who record mini monthly messages for their children, with the goal of gifting all those messages to their kids, much much later in life. Blake loses every staring contest he engages in with his children Koah and Summer, and has a huge crush on his beautiful bride, Emily. To learn more about Blake check out: www.BlakeFly.comStay Connected to The Marli Williams PodcastFollow us on Instagram: @marliwilliamsOur Website: www.podcast.marliwilliams.comHire Marli to Speak at your next event, conference, workshop or retreat!www.marliwilliams.comReally love the podcast and want to share it??Give us a review on your favorite platform and share this (or any) episode with a friend. Let's Lead Together and reach more people - we appreciate your support!!
