201. From Setbacks to Success - John Casmon’s Entrepreneurial Journey

Investing and building your own business is never easy. You may experience some setbacks and disappointments, but with the right strategy and confidence, you  can regroup, pivot, leverage your personal brand, and rebuild your business to achieve your goals.

In this episode, John Casmon, the co-founder of Midwest Real Estate Networking Summit and former marketing executive, talks about the time when his company went bankrupt, the necessary pivots he made, and what he is currently doing. He shares his story about his failed investment strategy, how he learned from the experience and turned it around, and how he recognizes the value of building a personal brand as a necessary step in his career in the investment industry.

We talk about the current market outlook and investment strategies to make investments grow, and if the best approach will be to fully exit investments or hold onto assets.
