Derek Coburn began his career as a financial advisor in 1998 and built a successful wealth management practice, mainly through cold calling in the early years and networking later on. He joined high-level networking groups and professional organizations and met some great people. Unfortunately, he also met a lot of professionals who were only interested in themselves and what they could gain from their interaction. Through trial and error, Derek began to find his people, which led to co-founding CADRE in 2011 with his wife, Melanie. He shares how he did this in his #1 Amazon Bestseller; Networking Is Not Working. He sold his wealth management practice in 2019, although he still maintains a working relationship with a limited number of clients.
