- 15: Success is not linear with David Shriner-Cahn
David Shriner-Cahn is a recognized authority on entrepreneurship, leadership development, and the host of the business podcast Smashing the Plateau. Featured in Forbes and Inc. Magazine, over 400 episodes of Smashing the Plateau offer a wealth of personal experiences and practical advice about achieving business breakthroughs. David’s mission is helping solopreneur experts do what they love.
Entrepreneur David Shriner-Cahn talks about his early professional years as a chemical engineer. He then engaged in an interim career as a contractor, before moving into his second career as a non-profit executive. After 20 years in the non-profit sector, he transitioned into self-employment as a consultant to support the strategies of solopreneur experts, building more stable and consistent recurring revenue in their business.
In this episode we discuss:
- How David smashes the plateau by stepping outside his comfort zone and trying paths he is may be unsure about.
- David’s career transitions and how that shaped his view of life not being linear.
- How he took time between his engineering job and starting to work in the nonprofit sector. He needed time to figure out what he was doing and where he was going.
- His current role as an entrepreneur and podcast host, and how he helps people think strategically about sales and marketing.
- How David values being part of a group of like-minded individuals to help bounce ideas off of through different career transitions and experiences.
- David’s passion for helping other people as they are growing their businesses.

32 min - 14: Connect the Dots Forward with Margo Aaron
Margo Aaron says “Try things that don’t work.” She has a lot of experience with this and can testify to it as a successful strategy for making career transitions. In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, Margo Aaron shares her journey from studying literature to psychology research and becoming an “accidental marketer”. Believe it or not, she connects the dots forward amongst all of these seemingly disparate pathways to demonstrate how they have been part of her philosophy of “living a deliberate life”.
Margo Aaron is a recovering academic and accidental marketer. Today she’s the founder of The Arena, a virtual coworking community for solopreneurs, a cohost of the internet talk show #HAMYAW with Hillary Weiss, a regular contributor to Inc, and prolific writer with fans like Seth Godin, Derek Sivers, and Paul Jarvis.
In this episode we discuss:
- Margo’s educational and career journey that taught her how our culture views making career shifts as being all over the place when really, “we are actually always just connecting the dots forward.”
- How her dad taught her the value of grit and an understanding that the traditional way didn’t work for her, but there are other ways to achieve what you want.
- Her skills for getting into jobs and educational systems she was not actually qualified for.
- How Margo had to “unlearn her worthiness” and her mindset surrounding fear and self-doubt which includes “going after the things that scare you until those fears become less personal and less likely to derail you.”
- Why she considers herself a recovering academic and how she has unlearned the scripts that shaped her view of the world.
- Margo’s concept of “product found fit” and what it means in her life.
