Thomas “TJ” Colaiezzi is the founder of LifeBrand, a brand reputation and risk management technology that helps businesses and personal brands clean up their social media and delete anything that can potentially harm them in the future.
TJ’s story is an inspiring example of how to overcome challenges - how he went from literally having to sell stuff to make ends meet to raising millions of dollars of investments. You’ll also hear how he managed to successfully scale LifeBrand while maintaining a great focus on culture and vision. But the most important thing I took away from this episode is that it doesn’t matter how much money you make, at the end of the day, it’s all about having a business that you can be proud of, that you feel good about, and that makes you happy. Let’s dive in!
