From Olympic dreams to digital nomad life…

Nov '25 (edited) • Intros & Wins

Hey everyone, I’m Leonardo

I’m from Switzerland and have been an entrepreneur for most of my life — founding or co-founding ten companies between Switzerland and the U.S. It’s been a beautiful mix of wins, losses, and lessons that shaped who I am today.

About five years ago, after a few tough business decisions that wiped me out, I decided to start completely fresh. I sold or gave away everything I owned, left Switzerland, and began a new life as a digital nomad. Since then, I’ve lived in Spain, Turkey, Dubai, India, the Philippines, the U.S., Colombia, Argentina, Paraguay — and now I’m in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Every place has taught me something new about life, people, and resilience.

I discovered Kasim through Perry Belcher's Ignite group and later through his YouTube videos — and I’m so grateful I did. I just completed the AEO certification and plan to launch an AEO agency for the German-speaking countries. Kasim’s clarity, generosity, and genuine wisdom really resonate with me.

Fun fact: I used to be a world-class high jumper! I missed the Olympics three times but later became a world champion in my age group — proof that persistence eventually pays off.

What I have: decades of entrepreneurial experience, marketing know-how, and a passion for building things that make a difference.What I want: to grow my AEO agency and learn how to scale it the right way.What I need: mentorship, collaboration, and connection with like-minded entrepreneurs.

Really happy to be part of this inspiring community — and excited to learn, grow, and contribute alongside all of you. 🙏
