11 Years Old and 175+ Interviews: Leo Rivera on Learning From the World’s Best

At just 11 years old, Leo Rivera is already doing what many adults spend a lifetime building toward. Leo is the host of Leo Interviews and co-creator of Leo Interviews Academy, where he helps kids develop confidence, communication skills, and real-world connections. He has completed more than 175 interviews with entrepreneurs, authors, doctors, founders, investors, athletes, business leaders, millionaires, and billionaires, proving that age doesn’t have to be a limitation when kids are given the opportunity to learn, ask questions, and connect with inspiring people. In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with Leo for a fun and inspiring conversation about how his podcast journey began at just 10 years old, what he has learned from interviewing accomplished people, and how he handles challenges when things don’t go as planned. Leo shares his homeschooling experience, his love for chess, his passion for YouTube and gaming, and how he continues to learn from every person he interviews. Mike "C-Roc" and Leo also dive into the lessons that come from difficult moments and the importance of turning setbacks into fuel rather than allowing them to weigh you down. Leo explains how podcasting has helped him build confidence, learn how to ask better questions, and connect with people he never imagined he would meet. They also discuss Leo Interviews Academy and its mission to help other kids build confidence, develop real-world skills, and create meaningful connections through podcasting and conversation. This conversation is a powerful reminder that potential has no age limit. When kids are given access to meaningful conversations, opportunities to learn, and the freedom to explore their interests, they can accomplish far more than most people realize. Leo’s story is proof that you don’t have to wait until you’re older to start learning, creating, connecting, and making an impact.
