7-figure Bootstrapper, International Speaker, Top Podcaster & Part-time Sword Fighter
LOOKING FOR AN AWARD WINNING ENTREPRENEUR AS A SPEAKER OR PODCAST GUEST?
In 2006, Ray quit his high paying job as a software engineer in the US to work as a volunteer for almost no pay helping indigenous communities in southern Mexico.
After that life changing experience he started on his entrepreneurial journey which led him to create multiple, 6 and 7-figure online businesses.
He now shares what he learned from all of those experiences with audiences at conferences around the world and in podcasts with the hope to inspire others to “throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover“
Why CHOOSE Ray?
Ray Blakney is probably like every other award-winning Filipino-American location independent entrepreneur who grew up in Turkey and lives in Mexico that you know.
He started his first business, with his wife as a business partner, in 2008.
Since then he has bootstrapped multiple 6 and 7-figure businesses around the world.
Most of this was done from home in his superman pajamas.
He and his businesses have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, The Boston Globe and other top publications.
