Gene Kopczyk, an innovative entrepreneur, speaker, and bestselling author shares his inspiring journey from working midnight shifts at a donut shop to running a multimillion-dollar business empire. With a background in psychology and a personal history of being labeled as having ADD, Gene opens up about how he transformed what society saw as a limitation into his greatest entrepreneurial superpower. His ventures span across industries, including a pioneering flight school, and he’s renowned for fusing old-school trades with modern marketing strategies.

In this powerful conversation, Gene discusses the myth of the "college-to-success" path, how traditional education failed him, and the real-world grit it took to create impact-driven businesses. They explore why ADD, often misunderstood in traditional settings, can lead to enhanced creativity and problem-solving. Gene's story is a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and breaking free from the limitations imposed by conventional thinking.
