Bio
Colin Bowman
Zac is someone I've been extremely lucky to have gotten a chance to work with. In the franchise world, he gave me priceless insight into building a performance culture, and has a unique handle on exactly how to skill up and motivate a whole spectrum of entrepreneurs - which he does at a high level on a daily basis. Zac is also without a doubt the most well-read guy I've ever met. He's a perennial learner that gets energy out of delivering learning to those fortunate enough to share some of his time.

Zac played a key leadership role in my professional career. College Pro was both a valuable and difficult stage of my professional career. Zac provided me the guidance and training necessary to organize and run my first business. When my business was near failing, Zac was able to bring me to my senses, help me to analyse my business and get back on track. This led to me making profit in my first year of business, mind you it was a small profit, but a profit nonetheless. He helped me to focus on what mattered and to get my head in the game. He was able to provide me with concrete criticism to help me improve myself however he was definitely there to celebrate my achievements. I won't forget our phone call when we both came to realize I managed to break even before the end of the summer. His guidance was pivotal to my success and I will forever be grateful for his patience, expertise and the fact he never gave up on me and pushed me to move forward even when the going got tough.
