David Morin
I founded SocialPro in 2012. Prior to this, I started an import business and turned it into a multi-million dollar company. (It’s now owned by the Swedish concern MEC Group).
Still, I didn’t feel successful. I had a hard time enjoying socializing and being authentic. I still felt awkward and off in conversations.
I committed to becoming good at making conversation and connecting with people. The interest in what I’ve learned has been huge. SocialPro is now one of the largest websites on people skills.
