John Lee Dumas is one of the leader in the world of business podcasting, and business in general.
Just a few of his accolades:
His podcast, Entrepreneur On Fire, was awarded 2013 Best of iTunes. He has the the number 1 podcasting book on Amazon. His show is a leading business podcast, and his income statement for June 2013 shows that his revenue was $216,094.50–for the month of June, alone. And he continues to be invited to speak before conferences all over the world.
But prior to this success, he graduated from Providence University and then spent 8 years in the US Army, including a 13 month tour of duty in Iraq as a commander of a tank platoon. He wandered from career to career, trying law school, a financial career on Wall Street, and real estate, but in 2012, he had his “a-ha!” moment and found his passion, his calling in life.
He started the first 7 day a week interview-based podcast for entrepreneurs, and over time has dominated the field, leading other people to launch their own podcasts (myself included!)
