Luis Vazquez with Mighty Introvert
Luis Vazquez can spin on his head. You’ll recognize him because he usually wears a beanie and sneakers (even in sales meetings), which means he’s always ready to put on a show… or battle.
As a retired breakdancer, and recently retired application developer, he now pays his bills by teaching introverts like himself how to sell. He’s a speaker, writer, and teacher at the Mighty Introvert. Who knew a head spinner could spin ideas too?
To see how Luis can speak at your event or be a guest on your podcast, shoot him an email. For everything else, you can tweet him at @LuisCreates.
