aflevering When Everything Falls Apart, Build Something Better with Shashank Shekhar | #27 artwork

When Everything Falls Apart, Build Something Better with Shashank Shekhar | #27

What happens when you lose your job in a new country with no money, no network, and no backup plan? On this episode of The Pick Now Podcast, Jeff Munn sits down with entrepreneur and author Shashank Shekhar to unpack the remarkable journey from immigrant startup employee to award-winning FinTech founder. After his company collapsed during the 2008 mortgage crisis, Shashank turned uncertainty into opportunity by building a mortgage business centered around education, trust, and technology. What started as late-night blog posts eventually became Instamortgage, one of the fastest-growing mortgage companies in America. Along the way, he taught himself AI, built one of the first AI-powered digital humans in the mortgage industry, and even outpaced Zoom on Deloitte's FastTech rankings during the pandemic. In this conversation, you'll hear: * How resilience beats talent without persistence * Why education became his ultimate business strategy * What founders can learn about AI right now * How to think long-term when building a company * Why limiting beliefs stop more dreams than lack of skill If you've ever wondered whether your big idea is worth pursuing, this episode might be the push you need to start.

aflevering One Yes Changes Everything | #24 artwork

One Yes Changes Everything | #24

What if you're just one yes away from changing your entire life? In this episode, Jeff Munn sits down with serial entrepreneur Bryan Lord to unpack the messy, unfiltered reality of building something from nothing. From feeling out of place in college to raising capital off a 14-page deck, Bryan shares how persistence, irrational belief, and a willingness to hear "no" over and over again shaped his journey. They dive into the truth about entrepreneurship that no one talks about—the politics, getting fired from your own company, and why success doesn't always feel the way you think it will. Bryan also reveals why chasing the destination can leave you empty, and what actually matters in the long run. Key takeaways: * Why being a generalist can be your greatest advantage * The power of hearing "no" and still moving forward * Why you're often better off raising capital with just an idea * The hidden downside of "making it" If you've ever felt like you don't fit the mold, this conversation will challenge how you think about success—and what it really takes to build something meaningful.

Key takeaways: * Why AI will replace tasks, not human potential * The hidden danger of outsourcing your thinking * How to rediscover your identity in an AI-driven world If you've ever questioned your career, your purpose, or your place in a rapidly changing world, this conversation will challenge you to rethink everything.
