I'm grateful to spend my first birthday with this community ❤️ Thank you guys for helping me start my 2026 off right.

I decided to take my "Live Call" time to record a little "work with me" session. Want more of these? Want to jump on lives with me to do work sessions like these? 🤷‍♂️

I just hit a major milestone, triggered by a contract I closed this week. And I’m within $4k of hitting my most ambitious quarterly revenue goal yet, cash collected. A year ago I was commuting into an office every day, working overtime just to clear $100k on my W2. I had a desk treadmill and got written up because people were complaining it was too loud in the open office. I literally ate my pounds of fruit in a corner away from everybody else. Since I’ve been studying Steve Jobs’ story, it sounds very similar to what happened to him at Pixar. 🤣 I was miserable. I had zero tech background when I decided to go all in on AI automation. I just got really passionate about it, learned everything I could, didn’t stop and now build enterprise level software for construction companies. The nos got bigger and they hurt more. When you genuinely click with a client, you know you can help them, and they say no… that one stings. You can’t scale back down once you’re bringing in higher-value clients. It’s just part of the transition. I have a conversation today with someone I first talked to back in August. He couldn’t quite see the value then. We’ve stayed in touch, and now we’re talking about Claude and how I’ve been using AI. That’s a long game, and it’s worth playing. My team is doing things I didn’t even think were possible in some of these platforms. Having people who are really good at what they do and actually enjoy the work has changed everything, including what I can charge. Next week I’m paying $300 to walk into a multifamily and commercial real estate summit in downtown LA. I pulled the attendee list. Presidents and owners of $40M+ development and construction companies. My exact customer. I got the tip from a potential client who literally taught me the construction industry years ago. He’s now a VP, he’s going to be at that event, and we may be working together. That’s what going all in looks like over time. Every quarter I’m basically doubling. I’m still up at 5:30 every morning. Still showing up the same way I did when I had nothing to show for it.

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 jobs to Uber, Amazon Flex, Instacart, etc. you name it... I ran the gamut of the "internet entrepreneur" 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. 😎 Today, I help experts and founders land more targeted speaking opportunities + podcasts, and for those wanting to monetize their knowledge further, develop interactive training courses. The teams I work with have secured $60k+ speaking appearances, TEDx’s, podcasts like Mindvalley, helped our clients acquire millions of dollars in sales and VC investment, and worked with big hitters like Tony Robbins, Dave Asprey, Grant Cardone, the PGA, the UFC, etc.
