With over 20 years of Internet experience, Stephan Aarstol is an Internet industry veteran who has founded multiple ventures. In 2014 with a staff of just 5 people and revenues of $5M, Tower Paddle Boards (back by Mark Cuban on Shark Tank) was named the #1 fastest growing private company in San Diego by the San Diego Business Journal. A year later Tower was #239 on the INC 500 list of America's fastest growing companies. In 2015, to challenge long held delusions about unhealthy start-up work culture, Stephan moved his whole company to a 5-hour workday and would later write a book titled “The Five Hour Workday” about the experience, which would spread the idea to tens of millions of people worldwide, and get press in over 20 countries.
Here are a few key secrets we talked about in this episode:
- The biggest teaching moment from giving the worst pitch in shark tank history but still scoring a deal with Mark Cuban
- How to pivot and shift to opportunity amidst the COVID-19 chaos
- How monopolization over the last few years is affecting retail businesses everywhere right now
- How Stephen is personally prioritizing and pivoting in his business right now
- Why focus is just as important as diversification
