Author: Junaid Ahmed December 15, 2022 Duration: 41:59
Today I got to speak with Athin Cassiotis. Meet Athin. Born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, Athin was always an ambitious and creative person. From selling VCD movies in high school to becoming the head of business development for a large environmental firm at the age of 19, his journey was not without its challenges. Rejecting the idea of university, Athin decided to learn on the job and after 8 and a half years, set out to take the next step in his career. With his determination and knowledge, he was accepted into an MBA program and, after completing half the courses, left to start his own business. With the help of mentors and some luck, he was able to take his business to new heights and has now established himself as a successful business coach and podcaster. His story is a testament to the power of resilience and ambition and proves that success can be achieved in any form.
