In 2023, entrepreneurs started a record 5.5 million new businesses in the United States, lured by the siren call of life-changing wealth. But entrepreneurship is hard. Brutally hard. And instead of swimming in seas of cash, many founders find themselves buried under mountains of crap. In Shoveling $h!t: A Love Story, Kass and Mike Lazerow share hard-learned lessons from decades of shoveling as cofounders and early investors in startups that have generated more than $10 billion in realized gains. As the cofounders of Golf.com and Buddy Media, which Salesforce bought for $745 million, they've lived what they call the "Imbalanced Life" and have the scars and gains to prove it. Whether you are deciding to leap or have already lept, Shoveling $h!t: A Love Story will teach you how to embrace the beauty of the struggle and use the tools and entrepreneur's mindset to overcome the misery and uncertainty that awaits. Inside Kass and Mike's raw and deeply personal stories are universal strategies for choosing cofounders, greenlighting and funding ideas, building high-performing teams, creating the right culture, and pivoting businesses before it's too late.
