About this episode

Daniel interviews Calvin Chilchik about his transition from CUB to co-founding a business in the US and the lessons learned in sales and leadership.

Daniel is catching up with Calvin Chilchik, former Head of CUB Sydney, as he leaves to fulfil a lifelong dream: co-founding a business in the US and taking his family business into its next phase of growth. Calvin shares how seven years inside CUB built the confidence, network, and sales skillset to make the leap - from overcoming imposter syndrome to thinking like a founder. They break down the real lessons behind sales, leadership, and building relationships that actually drive opportunity, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can completely change your trajectory.
