Dave Lukas Chats with David Shriner-Cahn244: How to Navigate and Thrive in the Transition from Employee to Entrepreneur with David Shriner-Cahn
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is David Shriner-Cahn. David is the host of the wildly popular Smashing the Plateau podcast and his business helps consultants and coaches build their business following their careers as professionals employed in the marketplace. Simply put, David helps employees’ transition to thriving entrepreneurs. He has been features in Forbes, INC, and many other outlets and is also a popular speaker. David’s mission to help people become entrepreneurs was born out of his experience of being a highly successful employee for 28 years only to wake up one day and be told it was over. He had to go through losing his job and identity to finding a new path as an entrepreneur and his experience and what he has learned can help so many that are in the same situation, so I’m excited to get into it. www.SmashingthePlateau.com Show NotesDavid has a master’s in engineering from Cornell. He worked as an engineer early in his career and then transferred after a job loss to the not-for-profit sector. He had no formal training to become a not-for-profit executive and did that for 23 years. He had plateaued in the organization and could not become the CEO as he was in the #2 position. He decided that it was time to scratch entrepreneur itch he had most of his life and became a consultant.

Misfits, you know how important my physical and mental health is to me. But one area I didn’t give much thought to for years was my skin. That was until I started to notice a little more wear and tear on it and dryness, especially in the winter. It dawned on me that I pay so much attention to the food and things I put into my body, but not so much what I put on my body. Then I found The Good by Caldera Labs.
Developed in Jackson, WY, to help combat dry skin at high altitudes and named by GQ as the best natural face serum, The Good took over 2 years to create. Made from 27 active plant botanicals, it is an all-natural way to get better, healthier skin. And it’s proven. In clinical trials, over 96% of men saw healthier skin. Simply put, The Good works.
