Gary was interviewed by host, Wes Schaeffer, on The Sales Podcast.
As told to Wes, Gary worked in factories, drove taxis, and even waited 15 years after graduating from high school to get his degree. Later he became a massage therapist, specializing in helping people with disabilities. Unfortunately, his work was funded by tax dollars and the funding dried up. This led to depression. That’s when Gary dusted off his motivational notes and started tweeting them, and those got traction with his followers.
