THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT SILICON VALLEY
SHAWN FLYNN
There is so much misinformation out there and so many gaps in the information that is available that something had to be done. After college I wanted to explore the world and so I traveled. I lived in Costa Rica, Europe and China for many years. I was able to support myself though starting companies and failing and scraping by here and there with an occasional success. I learned a lot, an awful lot. In fact, I thought I could hold my own with almost anyone when it came to talking business. Then in 2013 I moved to Silicon Valley and realized I never really knew anything. The people here are amazing. I was lost. I had to start at square one and build relations and learn from the people around me. The people here have experience and wisdom that is unmatched in the startup world. What they possess can help entrepreneurs everywhere. With that, I have been on a mission to get that knowledge in the hands of others. I have had the opportunity to share with people around the world though speaking engagements. The last few years have been amazing, and I know the next will even be better for myself and the people who take full advantage of the knowledge that these experts and entrepreneurs are giving you through our interviews.
