We had the good fortune of connecting with Doug Elks and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Doug, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success has been the ability to connect with people and form real and genuine relationships. Successful networking goes well beyond meeting someone in hopes of conducting some degree of business together. I am more interested in how well I can connect with someone, find a common interest or passion, bring them value, and serve them. The beautiful thing about connecting with new people and finding ways to serve them and bring them value is that everyone can win!

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the host of the AIM PODCAST (Ambition In Mind). I have on guests from all walks of life that showcase extreme Ambition in their lives and use their platform to help others. Some of the AIM PODCAST guests include entrepreneurs/founders, pro athletes, Olympians, fitness experts, musicians, speakers, and authors. I am most excited about the community we are building with this show!

I also own a consulting and marketing company where I work with brands to grow brand awareness and revenue channels through strategic influencer partnership, cross brand collabs, and more.

I am a founder of Kaizos Nutrition where we sell an all natural recovery coco mix that helps increase sleep performance, improves gut health, muscle recovery, and strengthens the immune system.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
While I am very grateful for all of the many people that have helped me along the way and played some role in my success, I would like to give my shoutout to my Mom and grandfather.

My mother has been the most consistent, supportive, motivating, and caring person in my life. She has taught me the powerful values of honesty, hard work, determination, and resilience. She constantly goes out of her way to help others and bring a positive light to all she encounters.

My grandfather has taught me so much about how to treat people and build strong relationships by bringing people value. He is built on a strong work ethic that is clearly shown in his approach to life. He also was one of the first people that exposed me to entrepreneurship.
