Dave Kerpen's Linkedin Analytics

I'm a father of 3 amazing children, Charlotte and Kate, and Seth, the husband to an amazing business partner, Carrie Kerpen, and friend to many. I'm a serial entrepreneur (on company #7), NY Times bestselling author (5 books for far) and speaker. I've been writing here on LinkedIn for 6 years, so I've amassed a pretty incredible community of 680,000+ people. Welcome to the "family"! In my day job, I'm the cofounder and coCEO of Apprentice, a platform that connects entrepreneurs with the top 5% brightest, hardest working college students in the world, the cofounder and CEO of Remembering.Live / Celebrating.Live, a virtual memorial services & corporate celebrations company we started in 2020 following my mom's passing away, an investor through Kerpen Ventures, and a writer. Following my sponsored wedding which raised over $100,000 including $20K for charity, my wife Carrie and I started and built theKBuzz (founded in 2007) into Likeable Media, the only 3-time WOMMY Award winner for excellence from the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) and one of the 500 fastest growing private companies in the US according to INC Magazine for 4 consecutive years. We sold the company to global digital transformation firm 10Pearls in March of 2021. As one of Entrepreneur Magazine's top 10 up and coming leaders, I have been featured on the Today Show, CNBC’s “On the Money”, BBC, ABC World News Tonight, the CBS Early Show, the New York Times, and countless blogs. I have also keynoted at dozens of conferences across the globe including Singapore, Athens, Dubai, San Francisco, Cologne, Toronto, Bangkok, and Mexico City. I am an investor, advisor and mentor to many and enjoying serving others. My 1st book was a NY Times bestseller - Likeable Social Media (Now in its 3rd edition). I followed up with 2 more books, Likeable Business & Likeable Leadership and The Art of People. My 5th book overall, Get Over Yourself: How to Lead and Delegate Effectively for More Time, More Freedom, and More Success is a roadmap for entrepreneurs, small business owners and leaders at companies of all sizes. Published by BenBella, the book is endorsed by Barbara Corcoran, Jesse Cole, AJ Jacobs, Dorie Clark and Pat Flynn.
