58 - Shan Sinha, Highfive CEO: An Entrepreneur's Winding Path to Success


Listen Later

Success doesn’t usually come along a simple path, and that was definitely true for Shan Sinha. He was raised by a single mom in Texas, fell in love with technology, went to M.I.T., dropped out to do a startup, and …

He went back to M.I.T. But of course that’s not the end of the story, or he wouldn’t be on this podcast.
