I’m Shaun Sharabi, owner of Interlock Ventures — my personal holdco where I solve problems through critical thinking and strategic connections. I work with:
1. Founders & operators facing constraints in their business
2. Entrepreneurs seeking clarity on how to grow their net worth and align it with fulfillment

I built my first business in 2.5 years to 149M in Revenue, and over 500 Employees. I've gone through countless different phases of business including the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I started this show to unpack the real inflection points that shaped people & their business: the constraints, tough decisions, and pivotal relationships that unlocked growth, profit, or clarity. I look to uncover what is often overlooked from the outside.
My hope is by sharing these conversations, I can positively influence you to lead a life of curiosity, and be as giving first minded as possible.
