What drives someone to leave the familiar and build something from the ground up? In this episode of Journeys to the Summit, host Ilya Zlotnik sits down with Shane Stiles, founder and president of Gate 39 Media, to explore his entrepreneurial roots, shaped by a childhood working in his father’s gas stations.

Together, they unpack Shane’s transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship, the founding of a firm that now serves clients in finance and agriculture, and the mindset it takes to lead in times of both clarity and uncertainty.

Learn how family, resilience, and a willingness to pivot have shaped Shane’s journey, and what advice he offers to the next generation of business builders.
