EP 46- Joe Cury, Founder of Personal Brand Secrets: A Life of Homeless to Happy

It takes a long time to build an empire, and a matter of moments to destroy them.  One of the most powerful things a human being can know is how to be an empire builder.  It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, leadership, the ability to masterfully delegate, and a tremendous amount of focus and intention.  If we’re not careful, our ego will create an environment for us to lose all of that and cause the downfall of our empire. The great news is, once you’ve lost it all, your ability to get it back never goes away. Experience earned is experienced gained and is very much like muscle memory.  The time for rebuilding is much shorter the second time around. 

Joe Cury is founder of Personal Brand Secrets, focused on working with entrepreneurs to become the trusted authority in their marketplace by leveraging marketing, social media, sales, and a savage follow up game. 

Today, Jason, Steve, and Joe dive in deep as Joe shares his journey from successful entrepreneur in the Dominican Republic making $30,000 a month in the restaurant industry, to becoming homeless, in the United States with $3.00 to his name. Joe is very candid about how he allowed his ego to get out of control in his early days in business. At the age of 22, his business was burnt to the ground by a competitor.  His initial thought was to kill him, or start his life over.  Joe shares a little about the trauma from his childhood, his trust issues, and the thing that inspired him to avoid suicide and continue his pursuit of what’s possible. This episode will inspire anyone at any level in business.

Favorite Quote:

“I started learning from how the owner of Wal Mart to find out how he was doing X,Y, and Z.  I started delivering fliers here in Miami and thought, what if I become the best motherfucker in fliers in the whole world? When I got intentional, that’s when I started changing my mindset.”
