We Live to Build Sean Weisbrot
-
- Zaken en persoonlijke financiën
I'm Sean Weisbrot, a 7 figure entrepreneur, investor, and advisor based who was based in Asia for over 14 years and now living in Portugal. I've published 200 interviews over the last 4 years with entrepreneurs and investors about their Psychology and how they run their businesses.
These interviews are what every entrepreneur NEEDS to hear, and this is the only place in the world they can hear it. Not only do our guests share their reality, but I do too, only so that everyone can see success requires sacrifice and focus, something very difficult to give 100% at all times.
Join us every week to fast track your professional and personal growth so you can meet the ever-increasing demands of the business (or businesses) you are passionately building.
Time waits for no one, so let's get started now!
