Speaking

Garrett has spoken to students, entrepreneurs, and business owners about his journey building companies, facing adversity, and figuring it out without a roadmap.

Topics

Personal Story

Garrett started trying to become an entrepreneur in 7th grade. He failed a lot, eventually built a marketing agency in his senior year of high school, crossed 6 figures at 17 years old, and was hospitalized with a near-fatal diabetes diagnosis shortly after. He came out of it and kept building. No degree, no job, no boss. This talk covers the whole journey.

Personal Development

Garrett talks about the daily habits, mindset shifts, and personal standards that actually moved the needle for him. Less motivational fluff, more of what he genuinely does and why.

Business

How Garrett built multiple businesses, what worked, what didn't, and the decisions that made the biggest difference. Practical stuff from someone still in the middle of it.

Agency Life

Garrett built and scaled a marketing agency starting in high school. He talks about getting clients, managing a team, building systems, and the things he wishes someone had told him earlier. Geared toward agency owners and people in service businesses.

About Garrett

Garrett Shiner is an entrepreneur who built a $200,000/month business without ever applying to college, having a job, or working for a boss.

He started trying to become an entrepreneur in 7th grade and spent years failing at different things before it clicked. He founded Shiner Marketing in his senior year of high school and crossed 6 figures at 17 years old. He graduated with a business, not a diploma.

Shortly after, he was hospitalized with a near-fatal Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis, dropped to 112 lbs, and spent time in the ICU. A month after leaving the hospital he had more than doubled his revenue. He now runs three companies and is bringing back the Entrepreneur Club as an alternative path for people who don't want to follow the traditional route.
