30 Years to Overnight Success: Jeff Seder’s Entrepreneurial Journey | Proven Entrepreneur Podcast

What if the secret to winning the Kentucky Derby wasn’t pedigree or price—but poop, persistence, and a PhD-level understanding of biomechanics?

Meet Jeff Seder, a Harvard-educated misfit who walked away from Wall Street and into the stables—armed not with a saddle, but with science. In this unforgettable episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams uncovers the wild, brilliant, and often hilarious journey of the man who turned the horse racing world upside down.

Jeff didn’t just challenge the status quo—he obliterated it. While the industry obsessed over bloodlines and million-dollar studs, Jeff was measuring heart size, stride efficiency, and yes, even the weight of horse poop. Laughed out of rooms and dismissed as a madman, he spent 30 years building a data empire in secret—until one day, he predicted a Triple Crown winner and proved them all wrong.

This episode is more than a story about horses. It’s about grit, innovation, and the kind of entrepreneurial madness that changes industries. You’ll hear how Jeff:

Built a 48-dimensional AI model before “AI” was cool

Invented medical devices in a cornfield with MIT dropouts

Turned a $155K horse into a $50 million legend

Learned the hard way that success takes decades—and a little chaos

Whether you're a founder, a dreamer, or just someone who loves a good underdog story, this episode will leave you inspired, entertained, and maybe even a little obsessed with horse racing.
