Real People, Real Business is my online show featuring business owners and entrepreneurs who are in the trenches, creating and growing their dream businesses, one step at a time. Sometimes we need inspiration and answers from folks who are closer to where we are, and who share the same experiences, constraints, challenges and opportunities that we do.
I’m Stephanie, and I work with experienced business owners who are trying to figure out what’s next in their businesses. They have pushed themselves to achieve enough success that they know their business is viable, but feel they have run out of options for growth. I help them create a new vision and strategy for their business so that they can feel completely aligned, excited and energized about their new direction with a clear path for financial and personal growth.
IN THIS EPISODE - "Serial Success on the Bleeding Edge"
---------------------------------------
Jeremy Gardner is a serial entrepreneur who has found a great deal of success by diving into the ideas he’s passionate about and staying at the forefront of business and industry from blockchain technology, cosmetics, and psychedelics.
In this episode, Jeremy details how he’s always had a natural inclination to try things out which has served him well being an entrepreneur. Yet what you’ll find especially interesting about Jeremy’s story is that his ventures are often on the bleeding edge, with many of his ideas being ahead of their time, and how he intentionally exits his businesses once they become mainstream. And beneath it all, is his devotion to making a positive impact with whatever he pursues.
Jeremy takes us on his journey from a life-changing experience using psychedelics to becoming a cryptocurrency evangelist and dropping out of college to start the first Decentralized Finance (DeFi) application built on Ethereum.
Jeremy shares what it was like to be the crypto poster child thrust into the media spotlight and how that experience actually led him to start his own skincare company. He goes on to explain how his penchant for being on the bleeding edge drove his decision to leave his work in crypto, as well as other business that followed, and coming full circle with his venture into the psychedelic industry.
Jeremy is transparent with the fact that despite all his business success, his road as an entrepreneur hasn’t always been easy. He offers his simple advice for pushing through the difficult times, and he reveals the importance of making a positive impact in all his endeavors. Finally, he gets right to the heart of what he thinks is the truth about being a business owner vs. what we hear.
I think you’ll be inspired by Jeremy’s “try it and find out” approach to business and his dedication to doing good in the world.
