As a young child Shane Skeffrey used to save his quarters and change to open his first bank account with the money he saved. He knew his focus was around business so he started at BMCC then did his undergraduate study at Baruch in Business Administration and did one semester at Long Island university downtown Brooklyn.

But a lot of his education was from personal mentorship and a lot of reading outside of the traditional education system.

Before he found out about Bitcoin he was working as a Director of Operations in Corporate America and his goal was to climb the corporate ladder. He read a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad and it changed the way he thought about money and success. Learned about the cashflow quadrant and realized he needed to be on the right side of the quadrant which is the Business owner and Investor side of the quadrant. Started a network marketing business with Amway where he got the foundation on what it takes to be an entrepreneur through great mentorship.

Was introduced to Bitcoin in 2017 where he was part of a group that were interested in learning about crypto. They formed an Investment Club where he serves as the VP with the sole purpose of investing in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). He eventually changed the direction of the focus of just investing in ICOs and now has investments across different asset classes, not just crypto.

Shane's philosophy is, it’s extremely important to have a positive mindset in any industry and some of the self discipline practices he does is performing daily affirmations, meditation, exercise, reading or listening to audiobooks and always looking at any investing as a long term game and not day to day like trading. When entering any investment he is looking to hold that asset for at least 10 years. Something he was taught by several mentors.
