Alex Sanfilippo: How to Use the Power of Podcasting for Entrepreneurs

About Alex: I started my first business at the age of 10. I began selling used golf balls in my neighborhood and realized that I enjoyed generating sales and keeping track of profit margins. (Yes, odd for a 10-year-old!)Fast forward to my late teen years, and I launched a technology company that created virtual tours of properties listed for sale on the MLS. I fell in love with real estate and decided to invest as soon as I turned 18. REI was a short-lived career choice due to the 2007 – 2009 recession. (Yes, I lost a TON of money.)I pivoted to an industry that was thriving during the recession years.I got my foot in the door (Thanks, dad!) at an aerospace company. I was a part-time receiving clerk who broke down boxes and took out the trash. (Humbling for a guy who was on the way to the Forbes 30 under 30 list!)I discovered a passion for aerospace and corporate business. I worked my way up in the industry and eventually became a senior executive in a large publicly traded aerospace organization.After 15 years, I decided to return to my first love of entrepreneurship. Here is some of what I've done (Note: I started working on some entrepreneurial ventures three years before leaving aerospace.)I got into a lot of fun things. Including building a globally ranked Christian multi-author blog (DailyPS.com) with more than 130 writers creating daily content. I did some web design. I traveled all around the USA, speaking at conferences. I was coaching people wanting to start their own businesses/side hustles.I loved coaching. It inspired me to launch my podcast, Creating a Brand. (Now a top 20 entrepreneurship podcast on Apple!)This finally brings us to the present day. On March 10th, 2020, I had the idea for PodMatch.com. On June 15th, 2020, we launched it into early beta. (Bootstrapped, lean SaaS startup!)On September 27, 2021, we launched our second podcasting software, PodcastSOP.com.I now spend my time adding value to people's lives by being a guest on podcasts!We're happy you're here!
