These themes are revealed in Shane's experience, which is varied but carries the common thread of leadership & wrapping people around ideas. Eternally curious about what can be achieved in people and products, he has assembled many extraordinary teams that have given wholly to a project. Being particularly good at taking things from “0 to 1” Shane knows he can’t look for something that does “x”. Instead, he considers the properties of everything at his disposal and sees the possibility of "y". This is as true when building a product as it is with producing a film. The calling is to discover and develop that possibility, tune it for an audience, and bring it to life. The test: Does it evoke emotion? It doesn’t happen every time. The Founder lives the life of a Phoenix. Rise, fall to ash, and rise again. The rest of the world marvels at a person “rising from the ashes”, but Founders see someone who stays humble, pays attention, and has the courage to keep moving forward. Shane Schieffer is CEO of Gusto Technologies - a company dedicated to solving the problem of fitness boredom & burnout by applying the tools of mobile development and IoT.
