005. Is College Really Necessary for Success? Shaun Ziegler

Gurus & Game Changers

During our latest chat with true innovator Shaun Ziegler, we embarked on a journey that begins in a kindergarten lunchroom and ventures into the realms of the unknown. As children, we all had grand dreams, but few of us were the kids selling lollipops before we even knew multiplication. Shaun shares his story of moving from an impromptu candy vendor to a young landscape business owner, pushing boundaries at every turn. He'll let you in on how he navigated high school, challenged the status quo, and earned respect while often butting heads with those in power.

As we journeyed with Shaun into his college years, we discovered moments of intense self-realization. His brief college stint, a life-altering accident, and the wisdom gleaned from working in his family's company, finpay, all play integral roles in shaping his views on life and entrepreneurship. We also find ourselves wrestling with the societal impacts of innovation, and how creating a loving, family-centric culture can counterbalance these effects. Shaun underlines the necessity of balance in today's world, believing in your 'why', and investing in activities that replenish your energy.

The unknown doesn't scare Shaun; rather, he views it as a space for exploration and potential breakthroughs. We traverse thought-provoking topics from telepathy to airplanes, discussing how our lifestyle choices can unlock our ability to tap into the unknown. The legacy of legendary innovators, like Steve Jobs and Nikola Tesla, and the impact of today's tech leaders such as Ivan Zhao, are also under our microscope. As we wrap up, we leave you with our favorite quotes, an appreciation for the power of love, benefits of chilly ice baths, and a hopeful outlook on the future. Come join us for an enlightening conversation with Shaun, and get ready to be inspired by this relentless journey of entrepreneurship that is just beginning.
