Len Giancola began a corporate career on Wall Street and found great success at a young age, becoming the youngest Managing Director of the Americas for a major worldwide brokerage firm where he brought in a seven-figure income. However, Len was dissatisfied with making money for others and decided to retire early and relocate to Florida, where he became a serial entrepreneur both in and out of real estate.
