Shoveling $h!t

A Love Story About the Entrepreneur’s Messy Path to Success

By: Kass Lazerow, Michael Lazerow

Narrated by: Kass Lazerow, Michael Lazerow

Ever feel like running a business is just… shoveling s**t? You’re not alone. This brutally honest book takes you inside the messy reality of entrepreneurship. No one shovels more $h!t than entrepreneurs. Dig in!

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, Kass and Mike Lazerow share hard-learned lessons from decades of shoveling as co-founders and early investors in start-ups that have generated more than $10 billion in realized gains. As the co-founders 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 leapt, Shoveling $h!t 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 co-founders, greenlighting and funding ideas, building high-performing teams, creating the right culture, and pivoting businesses before it's too late.
