Episode #023 – On today’s episode of the podcast I had the pleasure of speaking to Leonard Kim. He’s an award-winning marketer, speaker and the author of Ditch the Act with McGraw-Hill Business. Leonard specifically specialises in Executive/Personal Branding, Employee Engagement Workshops and Healthcare.
As I mention time and time again, I use this podcast as a platform to share the failures and lessons learned from some of the top entrepreneurs as these are things we don’t normally get to hear about. Leonard has definitely had his fair share of failures. From losing jobs, to having to move back in with his grandparents, to being overworked and underpaid. He was literally worked to the point he almost gave up on everything. But in 2013 his life took a turn for the best and he never looked back. He discovered his passion for writing and by the end of 2014 his publications had over 10 million reads in total. An incredible achievement for such a short period of time. By the end of 2015, Leonard started working in academic medicine and launched an executive branding agency called InfluenceTree on the side. Both things excelled, heavily. The rest is history.
In this episode I delve into Leonard’s struggles and discuss the mental health issues he experienced. We discuss how he was then able to turn this all around and was then able to achieve everything he has done to date. It’s on hell of a story.
This is an incredibly interesting journey and I urge you all to listen closely. It may even provoke thoughts with regards to your perception towards mental health. And at the end of the day, if I’m able to assist even 1 person in opening up about any issues they may currently be having and help set them on the path to recovery, I will be forever fulfilled. So, without any further ado, lets dive straight into today’s episode. Enjoy.
