Andrew Frazier on Turning Relationships into Real Business Results
In this episode of Network to Net Worth, host Guy T. Dunn sits down with Andrew Frazier, MBA, CFA, Masterpreneur™ and founder of Small Business Pro University™, to explore how strategic networking transforms careers and generates wealth.
From Paper Route to Proven Network Architect
The conversation begins with Andrew’s first entrepreneurial venture, a paper route managed with his brother, starting in the 4th grade. This early experience taught critical lessons about customer relationships and consistent service. "We walked every paper to the door or porch," Andrew explains, creating lasting impressions that customers still recall today.
Andrew's path continued through MIT Mechanical Engineering, Navy Supply Corps service, NYU Stern MBA in Finance, and Fortune 500 executive roles. Yet his true impact emerged when he left corporate security 15 years ago to serve entrepreneurs directly.
The POWER Breakfast: $10M+ in Tangible Impact
Andrew's signature creation, The POWER Breakfast (now evolved into Masterpreneur™ Breakfast), has generated over $10 million in financing and revenue for New Jersey businesses across 12+ years. Launched to serve underserved Newark entrepreneurs excluded from traditional chambers of commerce, these quarterly events now attract 1,500+ attendees.
Key results include:
80% of Andrew's clients trace directly or indirectly to these gatherings
Media contracts secured through event connections
Bank partnerships facilitating small business financing
Double-digit growth guided through strategic financial management
Guy Dunn describes Andrew accurately as a "network architect who turns connections into capital."
Essential Insights Shared
Several actionable principles emerge from the discussion:
Follow-up defines success. A Wall Street executive once told Andrew, "You're always going to be successful because you follow up." Most opportunities die from lack of persistence.
Events create ecosystems. Andrew's formula involves speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees fueling mutual growth. Early partners like mentor Don Vipri secured venues and speakers through existing relationships.
Multiple touchpoints build trust. Andrew maintains visibility through Leadership LIVE @ 8:05 (250+ episodes over 6 years), LinkedIn activity, networking events, and email follow-up.
Proof through results. Andrew's work with Rising Tide Capital positioned him as their top coach in Newark, serving 500+ graduates over 7 years.
The Broader Ecosystem
Andrew has built Small Business Pro University™ and the Small Business Pro Network, an online community bridging in-person events with virtual courses, training, and business-focused social features. This ecosystem serves entrepreneurs beyond New Jersey while maintaining the trusted POWER Breakfast formula.
