The Staying Power of Belief with Anton Shmakov
Passion. Purpose. Belief. These are the internal drivers that push the entrepreneur to build something they believe in. That compelling inspiration of recognizing a problem you know you can solve, setting out to do just that, and pushing through limitations – long before the dollars prove you right.
In this podcast episode, I (Kyle) discuss the staying power of belief with Anton Shmakov. Formerly with Google and LinkedIn, Anton is now the CEO of MOTIONRAY INC. (MR•NET®). As we chat, Anton relates the personal reality of leaving one of the best paying jobs out there to help bring to life a company he believes in. He stresses the importance of having the support of family, because building a startup is both hard and expensive. He goes on to share the value of pushing forward, beyond what you think possible, fueled by the knowledge of the value you’re creating for the world.
“You have your set of principles, and you need to kinda exert extra energy to defend those principles, to stand by them... Even if it makes your life harder… it’s like ultimately, definitely, the way you want to begin.” -- Anton Shmakov
