I interviewed Leo Lu, Director of Platform at Struck Crypto. For me and many others, Leo is an inspiration. Leo got to where he is today by working on side projects in business development when he discovered he didn’t like his first job in banking. Leveraging the skills he built in his 5-9, Leo eventually became one of the youngest VPs at BNY Mellon.

We talk about:
0:00-0:30: Intro
0:30-3:10: Overview of Leo’s journey
3:10-5:04: How Leo’s side-projects helped him get to where he is today
5:04-7:27: How to think about getting started using Leo as an example
7:27-9:16: How Leo maintained motivation by focusing on developing consistent and repeatable processes like creating content
9:16-end: Leo’s advice for creating content on your side project journey or as a new creator

Leo also put together a website to help others learn more about side projects:
