As a husband, father, salesman, or business owner in the market for success, you’re always looking for ways to become better at everything you do. This is a show where I’ll get into lessons learned around my passion in personal development, cars, making money, tactical shooting topics and biohacking. Having recently started to look back at my childhood, realizing that it was not entirely bad, but definitely had some traumatic experiences that have inspired me to be a better father and husband. Always seeking to learn and grow can make it hard to find others who have the same ambitions. I created this show to create a community of like-minded men who want to be part of a special tribe. If this resonates, then this show is for you. Lessons Around with JP Albano is a weekly video podcast where you’ll hear directly from me about my journey. I’ll share my personal discoveries with listeners about my path to becoming better and the Lessons Learned. In addition to sharing my journey, I will also invite guests on the show to share their anecdotes and insights on relevant topics. Lessons Around aims to create a well-curated community of like-minded men who share similar passions; we’ll also answer listener’s questions in our episodes. This show aims to inspire, educate, and illuminate the path for other men who also want to become better at what they hold dear in their lives. I might not have all the answers, but by sharing my journey and lessons as well as the stories of others, we can figure this whole life thing out together. I believe that I am only a few steps ahead of the next guy and if I can shorten the path for someone else, that’s how we all move the needle on making change. Lessons Around is about enriching one another’s lives through the power of storytelling. If I can help one listener from sharing my experiences, hosting this show is worth it. Born in ‘81, I spent 20 years in IT, 10 of which were in IT sales. I sold $200 million during my career. In 2017 I decided that investing in multifamily apartments was my next challenge. I went on to build a portfolio worth $60 million, and 700 units, along with property management and construction management businesses. Lessons Around will talk about the challenges people face in business and in sales and ways I have found to overcome them. A passion for cars would come late in life for me when I developed an unhealthy fascination with all things BMW. Eventually, I stressed the limits of his marriage by owning seven of them at one time. Lessons Around will cover aspects of current car culture and why three-pedal driving should continue to be a sacred activity. Having multiple German vehicles wouldn’t be possible for me without knowing how to make and manage money. While I didn’t come from wealth but rather learned how to make and invest money on my own. I grew up lower middle class and was driven to succeed early on in life. Lessons Around will cover topics on sales, investing, making money and generating wealth to help our listeners elevate their lifestyles. As a born and bred New Yorker and a first-generation child of a Sicilian immigrant. The show will talk about my experiences as a young man and follow me into my present life as a husband, father and entrepreneur. Lessons Around will also explore my spirituality, as I work through a newer understanding of consciousness and what it means to be trapped in our “meat suit” as part of our soul’s journey in this human experience. During COVID-84 I realized the importance of defending my family, and became obsessed with learning to shoot pistols and sporting rifles and fell into the deep end of the 2A and tactical world. I am always seeking to learn from the best ex-special forces trainers, enrolling in as much training and classes as my wife will tolerate. I am naturally curious, constantly looking for new ways to see the world. However, my priority has been (and will always be) my family. Together with my wife of 14 years, we have three amazing daughters. I continually strive to be a better husband to my wife and a better parent than what I had for my kids. Join me to hear and learn the Lessons Around - it’s not just a podcast, but a conscious way of living your life.
