Ep. 17 - Brian LaManna: 🦙
I had the chance to sit down with Brian LaManna to talk about something that shows up in almost every strong career path I’ve seen: Taking the leap before you feel ready.Brian’s journey from SDR to enterprise seller in just a few years didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of consistency, learning from the right people, creating systems that support his goals, and maintaining a strong bias toward action rather than waiting for perfect timing.One thing that stood out in this conversation is how growth often comes from saying yes early and figuring things out along the way.We also discuss how top performers manage their time and energy, why learning from people ahead of you accelerates everything, how building your voice on LinkedIn can open unexpected doors, and advice for anyone early in their career or navigating what’s next.If you’re thinking about making a move or pushing yourself into something new, this episode is for you.Like.
