What does it take to build, grow, and exit multiple companies? For serial entrepreneur Tom Shen, the secret isn't a high IQ or a perfect business plan—it’s humility. In this episode of Inspiring Founders, host Mash sits down with Tom Shen and Bob Ashley to discuss the "heart" of entrepreneurship.

Key Takeaways: The Humility Edge: Why being the "dumbest person in the room" is your greatest competitive advantage. Culture over Strategy: How Tom and Bob built a 23-year partnership based on trust and a "can-do" spirit. EQ vs. IQ: Why emotional intelligence is the most critical skill for the future of leadership.
