Ever wonder how bouncing back from life's toughest challenges could transform your professional journey? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Steven Krane, president of Rilek Growth Partners and a serial entrepreneur. Steven takes us along his fascinating entrepreneurial path that began at just 16 with a coffee service business he launched in Montreal. From selling that first venture for $150,000 at the age of 22 to expanding Horizon Foods' frozen food home delivery service in the U.S., Steven's story is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the extraordinary power of a supportive network.
Steven's candid discussion about his long-term battle with depression and lithium use offers a rare glimpse into the emotional toll of entrepreneurial life. Learn how he navigated the side effects of his medication, which after 25 years led to kidney issues, and the impact of discontinuing it on his relationships—especially with his children. Beyond his personal journey, Steven dives into his innovative marketing strategies, including insights from Dan Sullivan's "Ask Who, Not How." Discover how he leverages connections with high-profile celebrities and CEOs to drive successful campaigns.
From launching a skincare line with supermodel Carol Alt to co-founding 800razors.com and partnering with Mike Tyson on a pain relief cream, Steven's ventures span multiple industries. He even shares insider stories about traveling with Tyson and the exciting twists that come with entrepreneurial life. Finally, Steven discusses his role at Rylick Growth Partners, where he uses his visionary skills to help fellow entrepreneurs unlock new opportunities and scale their businesses. This episode is a masterclass in entrepreneurial vision, resilience, and the power of thinking outside the box.
