Episode notes
Most people build a business to make money. Leon built one to never be trapped again. 12 and a half years in the military working on F-18 fighter jets and explosive ordnance. Then 17 years growing a paintball business to nearly $100 million in revenue across 57 locations worldwide. Then COVID hit. A business partnership fell apart. And a payout he was owed never came. Everything he'd built with people he considered brothers.. gone. Most people would've taken a job. Played it safe. Licked their wounds and moved on quietly. Leon did something different. He took every system, every lesson, every scar and started helping other business owners avoid the same pain. And somewhere along the way, he realised that everything he'd learned about building businesses was exactly the same as raising kids.
