I almost got fired for this. 

Once upon a time, I worked as a product manager at a big enterprise company.

My job? Making sure every single thing went right when we shipped a new feature. That meant checking everything—the designs, the code, making sure the sales team knew how to talk about it, that marketing had a solid plan. Literally all of it.

But I forgot one very important thing…security and compliance. A big client asked for a security certification, and we didn’t have it. It was a huge mess, and I never made that mistake again. Now, as an entrepreneur and investor, I tell every single founder I work with: don’t wait until it’s too late to prove your security.

Luckily, we had a big team to fix it. But if you’re running a startup, you don’t have that luxury.

That’s why you need Vanta. Vanta automates up to 90% of security and compliance, so you don’t have to worry about it. Vanta helps you get SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA certified quickly—without wasting months of work.

You can get started with Vanta’s Compliance for Startups Bundle, with key resources to accelerate your journey. You can access it for free at my link here.

20 Habits That Turned Billionaires and Innovators Into Unstoppable Forces

Whether you’re a student, an entrepreneur, or someone tired of mediocrity—this is for you…

Ever wondered why some people seem to crack the code of success while others are stuck in the hamster wheel? The truth is, school doesn’t prepare you for real success—but habits do.

I have spent an unreasonable time with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, growing up with their kids at one of the most expensive private high schools in the Bay Area to now actually hanging out with them…I’ve always been super fascinated by their habits and intentionally observed them over the years so I could incorporate them into my life.

Yes, it’s definitely isolated me from a lot of people, but it’s allowed me to achieve a life and a career I could only have dreamed of. So, I want to share the stories and secret habits I learned from being in these rooms that are not often talked about with you so we can all have a seat at the table.

What you’ll learn in this video:
Habits that will transform your productivity – even if you feel lazy
Strategies for better decision-making and problem-solving
The unconventional approaches world-class entrepreneurs swear by

Adopting these habits can be the game changer for your school, business, and personal growth.

CAREER

Why I will never join Google. (This is for everyone who sadly fell for my April Fools joke!)

🎟 I’m going to SF’s biggest creator career conference! Come hang out with me as we discuss the future state of the creator economy with top YouTubers and industry leaders. Use code ‘GENSHE’ for 25% off tix!

👧 No easier way to meet your heroes in real life than to go to conferences! SXSW was, so far, the best place to do that…

🤷‍♂ Men who date high-achievers are more likely to be millionaires.

WELLNESS
