He Quit Facebook to move to Indiana | Nick Giulioni, Off Leash Construction

On today's show I sat down with Nick Giulioni, a former e-commerce sales worker at Facebook who transitioned to building a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio in Indiana. Nick, originally from southern California, shares his journey of moving to Indiana, investing in real estate, and founding Off Leash Construction. He also discusses the unique qualities of the Hoosier community, the importance of overcoming 'analysis paralysis,' and how he integrated innovative solutions into his construction business. Co-host Dan Hanrahan, founder of Neighbor Serve, adds insights on building networks and effective customer service in the home services industry.
