Foreign. And now, escaping the Drift, the show designed to get you from where you are to where you want to be. I'm John Gafford, and I have a knack for getting extraordinary achievers to drop their secrets to help you on a path to greatness. So stop drifting along, escape the Drift, and it's time to start right now. Back again, back again for another episode of the podcast where, like it says in the opening, man gets you from where you are to where you want to go. And today, live in studio, flown in right all the way away from the sunny beaches of Florida, Fort Lauderdale. Anyway, this is a guy who was an entrepreneur in his own right, but has used the medium that we're on right now, podcasting, to help other people establish their authority and build their brand. And I thought it'd be interesting to talk about kind of the mechanics and the inner workings of podcasting, because if it's something that you've ever considered doing, man, this is probably a guy you want to talk to. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the studio. This is Leo Climaco. Leo.

B (1:15)
So my background background is really in it.

Okay.

I was an IT manager, IT director for a very long time. I used to manage home offices for hedge fund billionaires. I worked for three different home offices, and I consider that really my college education.

Being around those guys, right. Taking in like a sponge. Eventually I got to a place where I'm like, you know what? I want to be these guys. I don't want to be working for them. So at the time, it was 2015, I took a year off. In 2016, I was like, honey, going to take on the load for a whole year, and I'm going to try to build companies, and let's see how that goes.
