Listen Later

Aha moments are everywhere – and those moments, which are oftentimes serendipitous, lead you to the next step forward.  However, many of us choose to ignore those moments. Whether it’s out of fear or we’re just too distracted to notice them, we end up taking those moments for granted. But you have to be willing to listen to your inner voice in order for the process of reinvention to begin.

For George Leon, leaving a huge company like Sony Entertainment was a pivotal moment. He soon realized that things had to unfold the way they should have to get him to the place where he’s at right now. George is currently the Founder and CEO  of Cakewalk Entertainment, a company that connects global brands with entertainment franchises to create opportunities that generate mutually powerful results. With more than 25 years of experience, Leon is a one-of-a-kind specialist in global promotions and entertainment franchise development.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

  • How he got into the entertainment industry
  • George’s aha moment
  • Dealing with the imposter syndrome
  • Believing in serendipitous moments to get you to the next place
  • The value of knowing who you are
  • The challenges of running his own company
  • How they maintain their company workflow and adapting through these trying times
  • The importance of overcommunicating with your clients
  • Episode Highlights:

    Everybody goes through imposter syndrome at some point in their lives. It’s a universal suffering that we all go through. But it’s all a matter of how are you going to deal with it that really matters at the end of the day.

    You got here for a reason. And so you need to believe that you’ve gotten to this place at this point in your life in order for you to get to the next place. Therefore, sometimes you have to believe in serendipity. Then allow people to help you through it.

    Figure out who you are, not who you want to be. Because there is so much value in listening to yourself to know yourself better. Finally, focus on what you’re good at and surround yourself with people that matter and people who believe in you and what you're trying to do.
