Eating Burgers and Self-Reinvention with Fred Schebesta

Eating Burgers and Self-Reinvention with Fred Schebesta

Author: Piccolo Podcasts February 25, 2020 Duration: 39:18
This episode’s guest chose ‘sharing’ as his word of the day and he really delivers on that front. Fred Schebesta is perhaps best known as the co-founder of one of the world’s leading comparison websites, Finder.com. He’s a serial entrepreneur, author and media commentator who sold his first business for $1.36 million and made his debut on the AFR Young Rich List in 2019 at number 22. Fred is also the co-founder of Finder Ventures, Finder’s venture capital arm, and cryptocurrency exchange HiveEx. But interwoven with Fred’s entrepreneurial journey is one of self-discovery and reinvention. Fred stands out in the crowd for his total commitment to being himself. A samurai sword hangs above the entrance at Finder HQ as a reminder of the company’s deepest low when Google penalised them for some ‘grey hat’ SEO tactics and the site lost most of its traffic overnight. At the EY Young Entrepreneur Awards, he wore an outrageous Versace jacket in a sea of tuxedos. He calls himself an ‘internet rockstar’ on LinkedIn and that’s how he shows up, whether to a speaking engagement or a meeting with a potential business partner. Listen in to find out how hiring an emotional coach to get through his divorce highlighted issues for his role in the business, why he chooses to be a slow driver, and the business insights he has gleaned from his favourite burger joint, Five Guys Burgers and Fries. https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredschebesta/ https://twitter.com/schebesta https://www.instagram.com/fredschebesta https://www.fredschebesta.com/ Leave feedback or get in touch here:   Samantha Dybac Managing Director and founder The PR Hub www.theprhub.com.au/podcast https://www.instagram.com/influenceunlockedpodcast/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthadybac/   Producer: Andrew Menczel http://www.piccolopodcasts.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Influence Unlocked, from Piccolo Podcasts, pulls back the curtain on the real work of building a name that matters. This isn't about quick hacks or surface-level success stories. Instead, each conversation ventures into the nuanced landscape of modern influence, examining the deliberate strategies and personal philosophies that shape Australia's most respected entrepreneurs and leaders. You'll hear the unvarnished details-the pivotal failures, the tough decisions behind the scenes, and the moments of clarity that defined a career. The podcast focuses on the intersection of public relations, personal branding, and authentic leadership, exploring how these elements combine to create a genuine and lasting impact. It’s for anyone curious about the substance behind the public image, offering a candid look at the craft of reputation and the weight of influence. Tune in for thoughtful, in-depth dialogues that move well past the press releases and into the heart of what drives meaningful success in business and beyond.
