In this Episode, Simone Vicenzi tells us about how he started his Event Business, shares his work from home experience, and talks on how people can become an authority in their field.

He is well rounded and I enjoyed talking with him on this episode.

Some of the key points are these:

- You are not an authority because you say you are, you are an authority when people perceive you as one.

- You always have to show up. Consistency is key.

- You can accelerate the process of being seen as an authority by appearing in reputable media platforms.

- When you keep the knowledge to yourself, no one will understand the scope of what you know.
