Alex Sanfilippo started his first business at the age of 10. He began selling used golf balls in his neighborhood and realized he enjoyed generating sales and keeping track of profit margins. Yes, odd for a 10-year-old! Fast forward to his late teen years, and he launched a technology company that created virtual tours of properties listed for sale on the MLS. He in love with real estate and decided to invest as soon as he turned 18. REI was a short-lived career choice due to the 2007 – 2009 recession. He then pivoted to an industry that was thriving during the recession years. He got my foot in the door at an aerospace company and was a part-time receiving clerk who broke down boxes and took out the trash. It was then that he discovered a passion for aerospace and corporate business. He worked his way up in the industry and eventually became a senior executive in a large publicly traded aerospace organization. After 15 years he decided to return to his first love of entrepreneurship. He got into a lot of fun things, including building a globally ranked Christian multi-author blog (DailyPS) with more than 130 writers creating daily content. He did some web design. traveled all around the USA, speaking at conferences. He was coaching people who wanted to start their own businesses or side hustles. He loved coaching and this inspired him to launch his podcast, Creating a Brand, now a top 20 entrepreneurship podcast on Apple! Quite recently, on March 10th, 2020, he had the idea for PodMatch.com, a site where both podcast guests and hosts promote their work. He now spends his time adding value to people's lives by being a guest on podcasts! You can find him on social media and in Linkedin.
