Hey everyone my name is Pedro De Leon Jr. I’ve spent years in investor relations, helping tech startups, non-profits, and SMBs secure the capital they need. Though I stepped away from the business earlier this year, I’m thrilled to introduce my latest endeavor: the “Think Beyond Stocks” podcast. This podcast is dedicated to demystifying the world of alternative asset investments, such as real estate and business acquisitions. Along with my co-host who is in Private Equity , we’ll bring insights from genuine experts in the field—not the usual internet gurus. I’m also proud to be a co-owner of a startup home health agency, a Disabled Veteran Owned Business committed to supporting our veterans with elderly care and assisting families with special needs.

Woo hoo! This is amazing! Slice me up Business Surgeon!

Allow myself to introduce... myself. My name is Samuel Smith, and I am The Small Business Surgeon. I am a Business Coach AND Consultant, and my primary duties are helping fix businesses and the Entrepreneurs that run them. Welcome to The Clinic | Business Builders. Here's a little bit about what I do: 🖥️ I've enhanced online visibility for a ton of local businesses, helped to double a client’s daycare operation through strategic website and CRM improvements, and worked to radically scale another client’s business from $100,000 to $1,000,000 in monthly revenues in just 9 months by adjusting their target audience and eliminating non-profitable clients. 📈 I've built my local entrepreneurs networking group to over 3,400 members and grown my podcast "The Small Business Surgeon" to over 50,000 downloads. 📹 I've doubled the size of a client's YouTube channel from 32k to almost 80k subs, and helped them triple their revenues by creating and training an internal media team, teaching them SEO and content strategies. 🎥 And for a touch of creativity, using my pitch deck and proposal writing skills, I rewrote synopses and marketing pieces for a movie project that Nina brought me into, pivoting its appeal and allowing the team to secure $15MM in investment for production. (I can't wait to share which movie!!) 📚Late last year I leveled up my knowledge big time by completing a postgraduate program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Business Applications online through the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas. This has been a game-changer for how I approach using tech in overall business strategy. 🏘️ In the real estate world, I’ve picked up multiple awards for commercial sales, begun the process of education for my commercial brokerage license, and orchestrated several development deals, including a Ranch that was listed with another agent for over four years before we rewrote the script, adjusted the audience, and then sold for almost 25% over the original asking price, as well as a small subdivision that is on course to net over $400,000 in profit for investors—just a couple of the seven-figure real estate deals I’ve successfully put together.
