Ep 156 Mark Shriner, CEO of Breeze Docs: From Corporate Waves to Startup Winds

Dive into this episode of Default Profitable where I chat with Mark Shriner, a globe-trotting entrepreneur who's turned his Asia-Pacific expertise into a thriving consulting gig and now leads Breeze Docs, an AI-powered platform that's revolutionizing how businesses tackle RFPs and security questionnaires. We cover everything from his wild ride building businesses across Asia to the hard-knock lessons of going solo, like pricing your worth and ditching the squirrels for bigger game. It's a no-BS look at what it takes to shift from corporate home runs to owning your own scoreboard, all while Mark shares tales from his sailboat office during San Francisco tech week.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to 5X a company's revenue in Asia, only to watch new owners shrug it off and leave you starting from scratch? What does it take to juggle solopreneur chaos, from chief everything officer duties to realizing you're underpricing your genius? And how do you spot the elephant clients that pay off without the Nordstrom-level risks that could sink your ship? Mark breaks it down with real talk on focusing your strengths, saying no to distractions, and building long-term fractional roles that keep the feathers out of your chicken dinners. Fun fact: This guy's so committed to efficiency, he sailed 800 miles just to avoid a boring hotel stay—talk about breezing through life!
