HEY, I'M LEO
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE HERE.
I didn't start with much. But I always wanted to build something meaningful.
I was six years old when I lost my father.
From that moment, life looked different.
I was raised by a single mother who had to build a life for us from almost nothing.
There were no guarantees, no easy paths, and no comfortable certainty about what the future would look like.
But there was something I grew up understanding early:
If you want something in life, you have to be willing to work for it.
I watched responsibility become part of everyday life.
I learned that circumstances don't always give you a head start.
Sometimes, they simply ask you to start anyway.
MY FIRST DREAM WAS
CRICKET.
Like many young boys, I dreamed of becoming a cricketer.
I loved the game. I wanted to play, compete, and make something of myself through it.
But wanting something badly doesn't guarantee that it will happen.
I didn't make it.
The dream I had invested so much hope in didn't become reality. At the time, it felt like failure.
Looking back, it was one of my earliest lessons in understanding that life doesn't always reward effort in the way you expect.
And sometimes, the first dream has to end before you discover what you're capable of becoming.
SOMETIMES, THE PATH YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE
BECOMES THE PATH THAT
SHAPES
YOU.
My journey eventually led me into cybersecurity. A field built on precision, systems, risk management, and constant learning.
I found myself drawn to the complexity of it. The discipline it demanded. The satisfaction of solving problems that others couldn't easily see.
And this time, something changed.
I found a field where I could build expertise.
Where preparation mattered. Where consistency compounded. Where I could turn curiosity and hard work into something valuable.
Eventually, I became a cybersecurity expert at one of the world's leading organizations.
For someone who had started life with so much uncertainty, it was a meaningful milestone. Not because it erased the failures that came before.
But because it proved that a closed door doesn't mean your story is over.
BUT CYBERSECURITY WASN'T
THE END OF
MY JOURNEY.
It was the foundation for what came next.
The skills I developed structured thinking, understanding risk, solving complex problems, and approaching challenges with discipline began influencing how I saw business.
Over the years, I moved into entrepreneurship, building and supporting businesses and distributor ecosystems across multiple countries.
Some ventures worked. Some didn't. And once again, I discovered that building something meaningful requires more than ambition.
It requires systems. It requires adaptability. It requires the humility to learn when things don't go your way.
And it requires the discipline to keep showing up long after the excitement wears off.
WHY 3%
CLUB EXISTS.
I know what it feels like to come from almost nothing and still carry dreams bigger than your circumstances.
Many people believe life is about following a fixed template. But I believe that with the right direction, mentorship, hard work, and opportunity, you can build a life beyond what you were taught to expect.
That is why 3% Club exists.
To help ambitious people discover what they are capable of, develop the skills to build and lead, and access the guidance and opportunities needed to turn big dreams into reality.
Your circumstances may shape where you begin but they do not have to define where you end up.
