About Bradley
Bradley Will is the founder of Social Media Altitude and a self-proclaimed “gnarly entrepreneur”. Finding himself sick of the traditional “interruption” marketing approach to business, he was drawn to social media, visualizing the potential to create and engage communities. Since this discovery, he has become an advisor to many, working with small business owners, success coaches, artists, actors, restaurants and solo entrepreneurs; helping them develop social media marketing strategies to better engage with their audiences. Bradley is also an avid blogger and active leader in the Gen-Y entrepreneurial community where he finds his passion in inspiring and empowering young entrepreneurs.
Bradley started his journey as an entrepreneur three years ago (we can take it back even further if you count selling pencils, golf balls and Kool-Aid in his early years). He graduated from Western Illinois University in 2006 with a degree in Finance. After leaving college and sending out hundreds of resumes, the only job he could find was making $9/hour as a bank teller. After a few months on the job he asked himself “Is this is what I spent 4 years of my life studying for?”.
After bouncing from job-to-job, Bradley soon found himself in a situation where he could barely afford to pay the bills. He made a decision at that point that he would no longer rely on anyone else for a paycheck. Going at it on his own, he tried several business ventures that, you guessed it, FAILED! He was drawn to the lifestyle and freedom allowed from being an entrepreneur. Bradley moved into real estate investment and marketing and after a seven month struggle, he replaced his previous years income in one single month. which led his to starting his first successful company.
Bradley was fascinated by the transformation and the person he was becoming and knew this was the path and freedom he was destined for. Since then he has helped over 20 young entrepreneurs start their first businesses. He currently is involved in internet marketing, coaching, consulting, and speaks on occasion.
His passion in life is to help young entrepreneurs overcome their challenges in business and in life. He lives in the Chicago suburbs with his 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier and enjoys golf, travel, reading, running, and living like a ROCKSTAR!
