4. Overcoming Rough Start Leads to Successful Sales w/ Pete Machelek
The Entrepreneur Podcast - A podcast by Morrissette Entrepreneurship
What do you do when everyone says no to your can’t-miss idea?

Peter Machalek, currently the COO at TREC Brands, shared the mogul-filled story of how he started Adbloc Media right out of college.
He couldn’t wait to share his idea for advertising on ski chairlifts at a trade show. He entered in his suit. The attendees were in ripped tee shirts and sandals.
Fortunately, he’d brought some casual clothes.

Everyone said no.
Machalek was dumbfounded, perplexed. Who turns down free money?
