He is also a member of The FIA & The Ethical Agent Network as well as mastermind groups and attending the EA directors dinner. Although being a Chelsea fan (don't hold that against him) he is one of the good guys and nicest blokes within this industry, which is a better place with him in it. Leslie & Co has grown to be a great business over the past years and no doubt will continue to do amazing things. If you want to learn from someone who has shown that things can be done a different way, this is definitely a conversation you don' want to miss.
