Jeff Shardell, CEO of Humble Brands, transitioned from a successful corporate career at Google to pursue his passion for storm chasing, spurred by a lifelong fascination with thunderstorms. His experience at Google, particularly the innovative mindset encouraged by leaders like Larry Page, influenced Shardell's approach to challenges. Choosing a path of personal fulfillment over a conventional lifestyle, he embraced storm chasing as both a career and hobby, illustrating the importance of reinvention and pursuing one's passions.
Most people would run inside and hunker down, but I'd run outside to watch the power of these storms coming at me.
It seemed impossible, but to him, it was a no-brainer.
I feel like we've seen our parents and grandparents stick to the same career paths their entire lives, rarely, if ever, making a change.
Instead of buying a Ferrari or going to Vegas, he decided to leave his corporate job and become a storm chaser.
