Community Featuring Dagan Martinez-Varges
We’re thrilled to welcome Dagan Martinez-Vargas—a published author, entrepreneur, Gold-Level Toastmaster, husband, father of two boys, and proud owner of a dog and a chicken.
In this episode, we start with Dagan’s Toastmasters journey and quickly dive into his fascinating experience as “the mayor of Austin’s nightlife.” He shares how he transformed the alcohol industry into a thriving community, where even rivals came together to support one another.
Dagan’s book, Play the Room, offers practical strategies for selling, networking, and marketing yourself effectively. As Dagan says, “If you market yourself properly, sales will come.” He also reveals actionable tips from his book, including the importance of:
- Being clear about your message.
- Understanding the pain points of your ideal client.
- Going all in on your goals.
Through networking and building strong connections, Dagan had access to unlimited resources while writing his book. He emphasizes the power of making yourself memorable—whether it’s with fun glasses or a bold personality—and reminds us that networking is for everyone, even introverts!
Tune in to hear why vulnerability is key, why you must confidently share what you do, and how to stop letting your mindset hold you back. Dagan shares so many practical tips to help you step out of your comfort zone—you won’t want to miss a moment of this inspiring episode!
