Hey y'all, my name is Joshua Mihail Palassis (yes, I'm Greek lol) π¬π·
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... I was exiting the Canadian Armed Forces when I realized I wanted more out of life. π§
I didn't like the destination I was headed towards... i.e. the officers further along than me, so I decided to get off the path and find a new one altogether. β οΈ
I didn't know anyone successful, I didn't have "family money," and I didn't really have a lot in savings getting out of the army... So I had a few thousand bucks to my name and zero direction. π
To be fair... I had like 2 grandparents die around the same time so they left me like... $15,000 combined or something like that. If you REALLY want to know... π€·ββοΈ
Heck, I even had to move back home with my parents after almost 6 years of being a bachelor in Toronto. π¨π¦
A couple of months after I moved back home, I started with a hobby, turned into an Etsy shop to online courses and communities, to big daddy YouTube. No mentors. No experience. Just hustle and drive and relentless determination... plus many sleepless nights lol.
Never drank coffee before that point lmao. βοΈ
From Social Media Marketing to Amazon FBA to NFTs to Direct Sales (MLM) to Traditional Sales jobs to Uber, Amazon Flex, Instacart, etc. you name it... I ran the gamut of the "internet entrepreneur" for about 8 years, developing my skills, training teams, building connections, etc. π΅βπ«
MANY failures later... all of that has led me here today, where I'm known by some as "The Connector" - a title I can't wait to showcase to you all and earn over and over again. π
Today, I help experts and founders land more targeted speaking opportunities + podcasts, and for those wanting to monetize their knowledge further, develop interactive training courses.
The teams I work with have secured $60k+ speaking appearances, TEDxβs, podcasts like Mindvalley, helped our clients acquire millions of dollars in sales and VC investment, and worked with big hitters like Tony Robbins, Dave Asprey, Grant Cardone, the PGA, the UFC, etc.
That's what I do by day... and by night... I'm Batman. π
Well... playing Arkham Knight doesn't quite make me the Caped Crusader, but I AM developing a robust online presence via my podcast, "The Connector," and by networking with as many amazing people as I can while producing as much consistent, high-quality content for social media as I can.
All that to say, I have a lot of experience that I'm excited to share, and I'm just getting started...
I'm excited to grow with you, my new friends! π€
