Episode description

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Patric Shannon, Founder of LeadSnap.

Patric delves into his origins in a small town in Dayton, Ohio, and his unexpected foray into professional poker and subsequent transition to entrepreneurship. Patric  shares about his early career as a tax accountant and his serendipitous discovery of online poker, which ultimately led him to pursue a career as a professional poker player. However, as the industry landscape evolved and personal values came into focus, Patric pivoted once again, this time into software engineering and later into the world of marketing.

Through his entrepreneurial journey, Patric reflects on the importance of following one's heart and remaining adaptable in the face of challenges and opportunities. He recounts the evolution of LeadSnap from a solution to his own marketing agency's needs to a full-fledged CRM platform with a focus on Google My Business optimization. Patric emphasizes the value of focusing on one thing and doing it exceptionally well, drawing inspiration from the "hedgehog concept" outlined in the book "Good to Great."
