25 Apr 2025
Doug (Founder, LeadFi) shares his transformative journey from dedicated Navy officer to innovative marketing entrepreneur. Starting with nothing but determination, Doug built his business by implementing unconventional client acquisition strategies while still on active duty—from collecting business cards at local coffee shops to cold emailing prospects during lunch breaks. Despite facing resistance from military leadership, his side hustle quickly outpaced his Navy salary, eventually generating six figures monthly. Doug's story exemplifies how military discipline and service-oriented mindset can translate into entrepreneurial success, proving that helping others achieve their goals is the fastest path to building your own empire in the digital marketing landscape.
