How did a garbage can lead to an executive role with an aerospace company? How did matching cars lead to the love of his life?
From being a 10-year-old entrepreneur, and a kid who struggled to read and write, to a highly successful aerospace executive, and now a pioneer in the podcasting space, Alex Sanfilippo has had quite the unexpected journey.
With a brain that sees the world differently, Alex has found his way onto a path of tremendous success, but not without its bumps.
In Alex's words:
"I started my first business at the age of 10. I began selling used golf balls in my neighborhood and realized that I enjoyed generating sales and keeping track of profit margins. (Yes, odd for a 10-year-old!)Fast forward to my late teen years, and I launched a technology company that created virtual tours of properties listed for sale on the MLS. I fell in love with real estate and decided to invest as soon as I turned 18. REI was a short-lived career choice due to the 2007 – 2009 recession. (Yes, I lost a TON of money.)I pivoted to an industry that was thriving during the recession years.At an aerospace company, I got my foot in the door (Thanks, dad!). I was a part-time receiving clerk who broke down boxes and took out the trash. (Humbling for a guy who was on the way to the Forbes 30 under 30 list!)I discovered a passion for aerospace and corporate business. I worked my way up in the industry and eventually became a senior executive in a large publicly traded aerospace organization.After 15 years, I decided to return to my first love of entrepreneurship. Here is some of what I've done (Note: I started working on some entrepreneurial ventures three years before leaving aerospace.)Here's what I did:Built a globally ranked Christian multi-author blog (DailyPS.com) with more than 130 writers producing content. With this blog, I also hosted a podcast titled, Good Christian Podcast, which became one of the largest Christian podcasts.What came along with DPS and GCP was the opportunity to start a web design agency and a speaking/coaching business. I traveled all around the USA, speaking at conferences. I was coaching people wanting to start their businesses/side hustles. (I sold both DailyPS and Good Christian Podcast together on December 1, 2021.)I loved coaching and educating from the stage. In fact, it inspired me to launch my podcast, Creating a Brand on 07/02/2019; which ended up becoming a top 20 entrepreneurship podcast on Apple! (The last episode of Creating a Brand aired on 01/11/2022 and has pivoted to a new focus, more details below.)What I do now:➤ March 10, 2020: I had the idea for PodMatch.com. On June 15, 2020, we launched it into early beta. (Bootstrapped, lean SaaS startup!)➤ September 27, 2021: Launched a 2nd podcasting software, PodcastSOP.com.➤ January 1, 2022: Launched PodPros.com (Parent company for PodMatch and PodcastSOP)➤ January 25, 2022: Launched our new (revised) podcast; Podcasting Made Simple - Focused on helping podcast guests and podcast hosts elevate their podcasting game!I'm 100% podcasting 🤟"
