About Leon Gomez
If we connect, I hope it adds value to both of us + our networks. PLEASE DO NOT send me generic emails or try to sell me anything immediately after we connect. I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. Instead, LMK how we can collaborate, what you need help with, tell me the who, what, where, why when & how of what you need. Don’t assume that I need anything you have to offer. You’ll be deleted if I get your generic BS. About me: I'm a connector. Non-tech. serial entrepreneur that has been working with emerging technology since jumping into the 'internet' in Jan 2000. I’ve been called ‘OG MiamiTech’; survived the original DotCom Bust of 2001; taught ad agencies how to pitch online advertising & analytics since before advertisers had a budget for it. I was preaching ROI before it was a acronym!!! I've been a paper millionaire one day /broke the next. I've co-founded a successful ad agency & have been personally involved with 10+ startups in some senior capacity. I've made every mistake imaginable while trying to build MyCircles from 2005-2020 & I've learned valuable lessons along the way. Working in emerging technologies for over 23-years definitely changed my perspective on what a single person can accomplish with a great Team surrounding them & how impactful a powerful story + voice can be. After returning to Florida International University in January 2020, I completed my BA in Organizational Communications in April 2021 with a 3.9 GPA and graduated with Honors as Summa Cum Laude, then completed an MS in Global Strategic CommunicationWith a 4.0, in Dec 2021, Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society inductee. I came back & kicked ass! For the fun of it, I also became a Certified Florida Supreme Court Civil Mediator in Aug. 2021. I served as the Communications Fellow at Florida International University's Ratcliffe Art + Design Incubator during 2021, where we worked to help bring prominence to Ratcliffe, and I developed a theory called Social Fusion (TM) that was the basis for my graduate project. I've been collaborating in Web3 from Miami, Fl with a focus on PR, integrated communication, marketing, business development, event planning & management. I'm is also an advisor for Blockchain.FIU, several DAOs, and community projects. Personal Note: I've been getting my a$$ whooped in tech for a long time & am happy to share whatever I can to help others avoid the mistakes I’ve made, but I don’t have time for BS. Anything that involves my time needs to have alignment for everyone & that doesn’t necessary mean $$. Is there synergy? If there is, LFG!
