    Episode 110: Paul Leslie

    Today's guest is Founder, Tea boy and Director of Leslie & Co.



    In June of 2020, he had a ‘Jerry Maguire’ moment and decided it was about fewer clients and more personal attention, so started his own business powered by Keller Williams.



    He is also a member of The FIA & The Ethical Agent Network as well as mastermind groups and attending the EA directors dinner.



    Although being a Chelsea fan (don't hold that agains him) he is one of the good guys and nicest blokes within this industry, which is a better place with him in it.



    Leslie & Co has grown to be a great business over the past years and no doubt will continue to do amazing things.



    If you want to learn from someone who has shown that things can be done a different way, this is definitely a conversation you don' want to miss.
