In this episode of BRILLIANT Podcast, I talk with Kass and Michael Lazerow, co-authors of Shoveling $h!t: A Love Story About the Entrepreneur’s Messy Path to Success. We dive into the reality of entrepreneurship—how it feels, why it’s worth it, and how to stay sane in the process. From giving Gary Vee his first office space to selling Buddy Media to Salesforce for $754M, they’ve lived it all.
We cover how to decide when to pivot, how to lead with radical transparency, how to build cult-like culture, and why great entrepreneurs embrace the mess. If you’re a founder, real estate agent, or anyone fighting to create something meaningful, this conversation will speak to your soul.
This is one of the most raw and actionable interviews I’ve done, don’t miss it.
