Episode 248: Tom Libelt | The Immigrant Entrepreneur

‘We think differently. We came to the country and had everything taken away from us. That made us people with nothing to lose.’ Tom Libelt runs Smart Brand Marketing and We Market Online Courses. He has done it all — from owning a coffee shop, a retail store, a record label, and more. Find out how Tom's humble immigrant roots fuel his entrepreneurial passion. ‘I had to unlearn all of the hustle stuff because you can make a lot of money on these shortcuts but it’s not usually long-term.’ Tom talks to us about his entrepreneurship journey  and how taking risks in business seemed to come to him naturally. We discuss - how door-to-door sales work helps you build a ‘thick skin’ - growing up in a family of immigrants - unlearning the hustler’s mindset and more.
