Hey everyone, I figured this might be a good chance to try something out. 🤷‍♂️ One of the most important things you can do on this journey is be GRATEFUL, esp. in the hard times. So what's one thing you're Grateful / Thankful for today? I'll go first: I'm grateful for my health so I can grind these long hours building cool stuff like this with cooler people like you! ❤️

Posted this to my socials recently and thought you guys would get a kick out of it! Do you agree with Alex? 🤷‍♂️

Hey y'all, my name is Joshua Mihail Palassis (yes, I'm Greek lol) 🇬🇷 A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... I was exiting the Canadian Armed Forces when I realized I wanted more out of life. 🧐 I didn't like the destination I was headed towards... i.e. the officers further along than me, so I decided to get off the path and find a new one altogether. ⚠️ I didn't know anyone successful, I didn't have "family money," and I didn't really have a lot in savings getting out of the army... So I had a few thousand bucks to my name and zero direction. 😅 To be fair... I had like 2 grandparents die around the same time so they left me like... $15,000 combined or something like that. If you REALLY want to know... 🤷‍♂️ Heck, I even had to move back home with my parents after almost 6 years of being a bachelor in Toronto. 🇨🇦 A couple of months after I moved back home, I started with a hobby, turned into an Etsy shop to online courses and communities, to big daddy YouTube. No mentors. No experience. Just hustle and drive and relentless determination... plus many sleepless nights lol. Never drank coffee before that point lmao. ☕️ From Social Media Marketing to Amazon FBA to NFTs to Direct Sales (MLM) to Traditional Sales with small and large organizations in industries like HVAC, SAAS, podcast bookings, brand building, and course selling to Uber, Amazon Flex, Instacart, etc. you name it... I ran the gamut of the "internet entrepreneur / sales guy" for about 8 years, developing my skills, training teams, building connections, etc. 😵‍💫 MANY failures later... all of that has led me here today, where I'm known by some as "The Connector" - a title I can't wait to showcase to you all and earn over and over again. 😎 Currently, I help experts and founders develop their personal brands by generating massive organic engagement on LinkedIn to increase authority, develop thought leadership & attract inbound opportunities (i.e. clients, speaking gigs, brand deals, etc.) That's what I do by day... and by night... I'm Batman. 👀
