[26] SHARON SCIAMMAS: "For the first time in years, I'm doing what I really love."

The Entrepreneur Next Door 🏡

Every one of us goes through "What am I going to do next? What makes me happy?" While some entrepreneurs find their calling quickly, for others, like my guest Sharon Sciammas, it has taken a few side trips and explorations before reaching his destination.
You can hear the energy and excitement in Sharon Sciammas when he speaks about his childhood wanting to become an Israeli fighter pilot, an astronaut, or a Prime Minister.
Sharon's early years, after he serves in the Israeli army, take him on a wild ride from cycling semi-professionally to door-to-door selling to IT and the complex world of Big Data.
Like many of my guests, you can hear the pain, passion, and excitement in his voice as he speaks about his mission and purpose. Sharon points out that the pandemic hit us hard because "we've been focused on buying stuff without a sense of community which left us lonely and depressed."
A recurring theme in Sharon's life is his search for happiness, not for himself but for others. His turning point? The Pandemic and realizing that any business venture that doesn't involve interacting with customers doesn't align with his search for happiness. He digs deep into "What brings us together as human beings" and focuses his life's work and career on building communities.
