I met him a few years ago when I interviewed him about a project he was working on creating videos for nonprofits as he traveled throughout the country.  Check out my previous interview with him to see how far he’s come!

He joined our 30-Day Accelerator back in the spring of 2018 and through that process, he realized he needed to build a business around his passion for real estate and his skill of digital marketing.

He eventually started Peak Leads, a digital marketing firm to help real estate professionals generate more qualified leads.

Several months ago I got a message from Luke that he was making enough money to leave his job to work full-time on his business!

Lot of great lessons in our conversation including:

  1. Why you’ll eventually burn out if you start a business just for the money.
  2. Luke’s advice for narrowing down your interests to focus on an idea for starting a business.
  3. The process he used to shift his career, once he knew he wanted to focus on real estate.
  4. The importance of working with people that share your values and passions.
