David Leppan, Founder of World-Check, Co-Founder of Wealth-X

Описание: In this episode of Relational Capital, Brian Gonzales sits down with David Leppan, Founder of World-Check and Co-Founder of Wealth-X.

David shares an uncompromising perspective shaped by decades of building global companies, living across continents, and operating at the highest levels of business and philanthropy. The conversation centers on a core idea: authenticity is not a personality trait. It’s a filter.

They explore how trust is assessed in minutes, not months, why polish can become a liability, and how judgment, instinct, and emotional intelligence shape real influence. David also recounts what led him to commit seven figures to a philanthropic cause in under ten minutes, and what that moment reveals about how people truly evaluate one another.

This episode goes beyond tactics and frameworks. It’s a grounded look at how access is earned, how credibility is felt, and why people remember how you made them feel long after they forget what you said.
