15. Clout Enterprises Co-Founder Luper Akough on Partnering with Amazon, Running a Business With His Wife and Being a Real Estate Investor

For episode 15 of Dear Diaspora, I had the pleasure of interviewing Luper Akough, co-founder of Clout Enterprises, a logistics company that delivers packages for Amazon Logistics.

After a successful career in the insurance industry, Luper was ready for a new challenge and responded to a call for Amazon delivery partners. After a few rounds of interviews, he was selected and became an official Amazon Delivery Service Partner. Within 30 days, Clout Enterprises had 35 employees, and ran 15-20 routes a day!

Tune in to hear about how Luper secured the Amazon deal, what it’s like to work with his co-founder (and wife), and how he diversifies his income by investing in real estate.

“Start where you are with what you have, and you can always build and change later.” – Luper Akough
