The Entrepreneurial You: Empowering Entrepreneurs with insights on Business, Leadership and Succes

In this episode, we explore the concept of creation and self-actualisation with profound insights on unlocking your potential.

Today, I welcome Paul Martinelli, a transformational leader in personal development and sales training. Paul's journey from high school dropout to international speaker and multi-millionaire entrepreneur is inspiring. Paul is the Founding President of The John Maxwell Team and Founder of the Empowered Living community.

Paul Martinelli is a renowned speaker, trainer, mentor, and coach known for believing that dreams can be achieved with determination. Despite being a high school dropout and overcoming a stuttering disability, he has shared the stage with prominent figures like John C. Maxwell, Seth Godin, and Les Brown. Raised in a lower-class family in Pittsburgh by a single mother, Paul started a commercial cleaning company in South Florida with just $200 and a used vacuum. His business acumen and personal development strategies propelled the company to success, leading to its sale after 15 years.

Paul then dedicated himself to helping others succeed, founding six multi-million-dollar companies with sales exceeding $1 billion and clients in over 162 countries. He leads the Empowered Living community, offering personal and professional development to over 2.3 million followers worldwide. His latest venture focuses on sales training, drawing from over three decades of entrepreneurial experience. Paul’s journey from humble beginnings to a global influence exemplifies his PhD in results.
