This is a very special episode of The Motivational Intelligence Podcast! Sean Johnson sits down and talks with the president and CEO of 2logical, Joe Gianni. Joe shares his incredible journey, starting with a “magical” childhood in East Islip, Long Island and going on to follow in his father’s footsteps by starting his own business in Rochester, New York. Joe knew he wanted to start his own business when he was just ten years old. “My dad had his own business.  So I used to go to work with him on the weekends as a young guy, so, someday I wanted to be like my dad, I wanted to start my own company. I didn’t know the word entrepreneur back then, but that lit the fire.”

After obtaining a degree in marketing and moving to Rochester with his fiancé Michelle, he got his first full time job working in sales for a man named Randy Nemec, whose unique but extremely effective method of training changed his life.  When asked what made Randy so successful,  “It was the way he had this knack to see talent. He just saw people differently than most people and he was able to pull that,” says Joe. Joe has lived an incredible life and after listening to this episode, it will be easy to understand why. He sees the world in a different way than most, “through the lens,” as he puts it. His story is inspiring and courageous.
