Proud, Paid & Powerful with Asa Leveaux

Asa Leveaux is a total beast at ensuring queer identified people transform their dreams into the dollars they deserve. Asa has been entrepreneurial since he was nine years old and has begun entrepreneurship on a larger scale since 2005. His entrepreneurial journey has not been easy, straight-forward or totally enjoyable. He knows how it is to sell $50,000 worth of items (and have people buy them) as well as the feeling of getting evicted from an apartment in his hometown in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Asa also knows what it is like to owe thousands in child support and the feeling he got when his son's passport got stamped because of his determination of being the first person to show him the world. In today’s episode, Asa talks to Monique about understanding what it means to witness people that don't recognize his value. However, through being crystal clear he now enjoys being saturated with people that don't just tolerate him but CELEBRATE him continuously! And guess what? HE’S STILL THE ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYERS!

    [54:06] – What does efficiency mean to you?

            • Not having to do everything myself.
