Sean Kim is the CEO of Rype, one of the world’s leading language learning platforms, and the founder of The Growth List, a media company focused on helping you become your best self. He is also a Columnist on Inc. and a contributor to Fast Company, Observer, TIME, and a few other publications.
Sean shared a ton of value in this episode - no doubt a result of his wide array of entrepreneurial ups and downs. He has an incredible perspective on entrepreneurship and living unconventionally that I think you will enjoy. Here are some of the things Sean and I talked about
- Sean's story - from first business to broke, stranded and homeless
- Journeyed to Argentina and doubled his money!
- The importance of experimenting - figuring out who you are and what you are good at
- Transferable skills and career capital
- What are your unique strengths? What are your competitive advantages?
- How to win 30 consulting gigs in 30 days
- Looking for that one thing that works out of twenty or thirty things you try and fail at.
- Using pressure as a tool
- Entrepreneurship can be learned! Handling pressure can be learned!
- Hiking the Inca Trail (both Sean and I did it!)
- About Rype - learning languages!
- Advice for future dropouts and current dropouts
