Julien is one of the most interesting people I have met.
He is a French Citizen but he has lived in favelas of Brazil, Poland, Thailand, worked in diplomacy in Beijing and has managed to set up a thriving business in China.

He is the person you go to when you want to find out more about entrepreneurship in China.

Being an immigrant I know how hard it can be to set up your life in another country, when you are starting with no connections.

Julien is today going to share what is the secret of his success. How he managed to achieve everything with limited or no money.

I enjoyed this episode because I got to learn a lot about linkedin marketing from him.

This episode is especially useful for anyone that wants to reach out to people on linkedin.
