My father used to say that there are two types of people in this world; those with vision and leadership, and those with action and compliance. To succeed, he argued, you need both types of people, in a fertile environment, at just the precise moment in time. And, the superstar? Well, they have the capacity to be both as well as the wisdom to discern when and where to display which asset. A symbiotic relationship sprinkled with a little serendipity!<\/p>\n

By all indications, Jay Leopardi <\/a>and his new business venture Fanstereo<\/a> is a fantastical fusion of vision, action, and wisdom. But vision is a fragile thing. To dream beyond the scope of comprehension or implementation is by default a mere thought, never to be realized. But a dream rooted in earnest, born from a void and developed by those who can fertilize it and make it grow just as you envisioned is why Fanstereo is booming the competition. \u201cI saw a gap in the audio market,\u201d said Leopardi. \u201cBeats by Dre<\/a> was no more as far as we were concerned which allowed us to move into the market. The idea was simple, create high-quality audio products at affordable prices and collaborate with artists to give fans true audio the way the artist intended.\u201d With the wisdom of co-founders Super Bowl Champion Walter Thurmond III<\/a> and Steve Rois, CEO of Direct Sound<\/a>, Leopardi was able to realize his dream and launch Fanstereo.<\/p>\n
