In this episode of The Transit Lounge Podcast, Shandra chats with David Shriner-Cahn, the creator of Smashing the Plateau - a supportive community for “corporate refugees” making the leap into entrepreneurship.

David opens up about his own big shift from a steady corporate career to carving out his own path and helping others do the same. 
He shares the mindset shifts that made all the difference, plus practical strategies for building a business when you’re starting fresh.
Key Takeaways:

• Mindset Shift: David explains why focusing on results rather than just skills is key - reminding us that in entrepreneurship, being right even 10% of the time can still be a win.
• Community Building: How the evolution of David’s business into a community-first model highlights the importance of support, connection, and accountability.
• Action-Oriented Approach: Why setting bold goals, taking immediate action, and breaking things down into small steps is the fastest path to progress.
