What do we do when we find ourselves up against the many leadership challenges that exist within our chosen careers? We all have goals and achievements that we would like to accomplish. Unfortunately, these desires do not come equipped with insight or awareness on how to bring these accomplishments to light. In essence, this is why the Dream Octane Niche Finder framework was formed. Our founder, Clifton C Manning, spent the first 17 of his 20-year career in healthcare working with physicians and healthcare leaders to achieve patient-centric goals, while possessing only an associate’s degree in applied science. At times, these challenges were daunting and he felt unqualified to achieve the success he wanted. However, he focused on becoming intentional in reading every leadership book that he could find, as well as attending frequent seminars in areas where he saw opportunities to improve. Over time, as he applied insights gained from these various sources, he was able to successfully and efficiently cross the hurdles he found himself up against. Eventually, varying degrees of success within his sphere of leadership influence became more evident. The Niche Finder podcast is intended to bring similar insight--to you the listener--from those who have achieved some level of noteworthy success in their chosen career. Our hope is that the challenges they have overcome in the past will provide insight for your current leadership struggles and unlock the dream of achieving success in your own career. We believe that, "If innovative change is an engine, you're unique dream and abilities could be the fuel." And now, I present to you, the host of the Niche Finder podcast, Clifton C. Manning.

In this episode of the Niche Finder podcast we were privileged to have on serial entrepreneur and physical therapist, Dr.Owen Legaspi. His journey may have started out challenging, but it is far from the typical rags to riches story. Sure his experience includes not having enough money to buy a happy meal but it also highlights how there was so much love from his parents at home that he did not even realize how poor he really was.
His tips for success such as “Think big; start small” and Mixed martial arts motivation of “fight the big guy" are some of the many lessons which he cultivated for entrepreneurial growth. It is hoped that the experiences and expertise from him will provide insider secrets that will help accelerate progress—or kickstart—your own Niche Finder journey.
