Humble Beginnings

Lanclos, C is originally from the small Cajun town of Opelousas, LA and is the Founder  and CEO of Lanclos Limited, LLC. He is a serial entrepreneur and, since the 1990's, he and his family started and exited over a dozen small businesses from Louisiana to New York to Istanbul, Turkey. You would think that his long string of success began with a wonderful and supportive upbringing, but, that is far from the truth. He began developing his entrepreneurial spirit on the farms throughout Southwest, Louisiana, while being raised in foster homes and orphanages at the age of five years old. Even though Lanclos loathed being separated from his parents and nine siblings, he eventually realized that it was the best thing for him. More importantly, he instinctively knew that he would also need to change something on the inside in order to overcome such a difficult childhood. So, he decided to change the view he had of himself. He simply redefined his situation as, "It was much better to be from a broken home than to be in one." This single new vision set into motion the absolute belief that his humble beginnings would someday become an asset for him and not a liability. With his newly discovered attitude adjustment, Lanclos set his target on the athletic world and did it ever pay off. After overcoming two ACL surgeries on both knees and a shattered collar bone from football injuries, his senior year, he took home the title of State Champion in Wrestling.
