They say, ‘if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life’. However, most of us are not fortunate enough to make our income out of what we love to do. Maybe we don't have enough resources and opportunities, or perhaps we lack an accurate and direct guidance source.
 
Enters the ‘2nd Floor Podcast’ by partnering founders Kenny Bhullar and Omid Qaderi. With the motto 'to survive and thrive,' these young and talented entrepreneurs started this unique new venture in 2018.
 
While the concept of podcasts is not new, however, the idea and objectives behind their podcasts are new, creative and refreshing.
 
Kenny is a marketing specialist and very much a people’s person, while Omid is an ardent and skilled videographer. By combining their skills, they developed this life-changing mix, for themselves as well as their listeners.
 
Omid and Kenny interview successful entrepreneurs, influencers, C-suite executives, leaders of industry, athletes, and many other thought leaders in various fields, and broadcast their stories aiming to provoke thought changing processes with university students and graduates, in the hope that leads them to convert their passions into rewarding careers.
 
"We pretty much provide individuals with the necessary ideas, tools, and strategies that need to happen and how they need to happen, to ensure that they are able to navigate their career path in the right direction."
 
The stories provide listeners with tips, ideas, tactics, and strategies to empower them in maximizing their potential and monetizing their passions in life.
 
Their target audiences are young university students and graduates who have abundance of high hopes and spirits, and many aspirations for the future but do not know where to start. These ambitious young people require the proper guidance to nudge them into the right direction of pursuing their own passions, as managing life can be quite challenging in the beginning. The broadcasted stories positively impact these young and fresh minds and provide inspirations, as they resonate with the content.
 
Although young, but 2nd Floor Podcast has already achieved some significant milestones in two and a half years. Kenny and Omid are rapidly gaining momentum and celebrity in the podcasting space. Their videos now air on TV, aiming to help young people convert their passions into rewarding careers. They collaborated with TELUS, and they helped RBC get the word out for a major project of Canada’s largest bank. They partnered up with Jeff Boyed, the president of RBC Alberta, and the Northwest Territories, and got to highlight his personal story alongside with what his mission is with a future launch for RBC. This unique interview was carried out in a trickle release episodes method and was launched across RBC’s Western Canada division.
 
Their effective method of gaining clients is by making their clients feel very comfortable and come off as raw authentic as possible. And their stories are motivating enough to be shared with everyone. What started originally as a podcast has now evolved into a storytelling experience for many different people who want to get the message out there about their life or their business.
 
Their pride and joy is the fact that they are able to successfully connect individuals with each other. While there are many motivational podcasts out there, the 2nd Floor Podcasts make theirs more connecting and resonating. They keep things transparent and deliver their client's message with full authenticity.
 
Omid summarized his advice to other business owners: 'Having a strong digital presence right now is very important. Businesses need to create authentic digital content.”
 
As for Kenny’s advice: “Know your audience. You're going to make your clients’ lives easier when you have a deeper understanding of who is going to benefit from your product and service.”

Every entrepreneur wants to see their business grow, elevate it to the highest peak, and generate big profits. However, without a clear direction and a clear goal, a business can stumble down in no time. This is where the services of “ready.set.go.” marketing strategy & coaching come in.

Bradley Ball, Founder, Business Improvement & Growth Strategist, is a Certified Business Coach who helps business owners to lead their businesses to the next level. Bradley helps entrepreneurs clarify their vision, set their ultimate business and personal goals.

“What I do is I help business owners get clear about what it is that they want in their business. I mean, absolutely crystal clear. They know exactly what they want to accomplish.”

What started as a printing and graphic designing business in 1995 has transitioned into a business coaching enterprise in 2009. When you are good at something, make it your priority over other things, and this is what Bradley did. After coaching some of his clients as an add-on service for a while, he moved to business consulting full-time, finding a greater sense of satisfaction focused exclusively on that part of the business.

Since then, Bradley has changed the path to success for many businesses and helped them make their marks on their market places.

ready.set.go assists entrepreneurs in building a strategic plan to achieve aspired for goals. Bradley has designed a special monthly revenue-generating workshop to assist solopreneurs and small-scale businesses in flourishing and devising a clear plan for their future. ready.set.go. caters mainly to businesses in North America. These expert consultants can help businesses increase their revenue by 30% in the first year working together and help them grow to ten or more employees.

One of Bradley’s major goals in life is to change people’s perception of the efficacy of business coaching. His aspirations for ready.set.go over the next five years is to flourish and grow the team up to five coaches at least.

Bradley’s most critical advice he likes to offer budding businesses is: “there are so many moving parts to starting, growing, and then maintaining a business. The best advice I could give would be before you decide to start paying someone else to do your marketing, learn how to market your own business first.”

Through extensive experience Bradley learned that there are three main reasons why business owners do not achieve the results that they would like to achieve. They are:

1. they do not know what to do. They have not reached a level of understanding or have not spent the time to seek the answers to their questions.
2. they may know what to do, but they are not willing to do it.
3. they are either too proud or too afraid to ask for help.

A little motivation works wonders. ready.set.go motivates and supports small to medium businesses and helps them reach their desired growth mark.
