What keeps an entrepreneur energized after building—and selling—a successful tech company?
In this episode of the What Juices You Podcast, Ryan Shantz—entrepreneur, investor, and former CEO of SumoQuote—reflects on how creativity, strategy, and authentic relationships continue to fuel him long after financial success.
Drawing from his journey from roofing and construction to SaaS technology, Ryan shares how his deep industry roots shaped a product philosophy focused on clarity, quality, and connection—not just price. Under his leadership, SumoQuote grew from an internal tool at Epic Group of Companies into one of North America’s leading contractor platforms, powering over $1 billion in signed contracts per year before being acquired by JobNimbus in 2024.
Ryan and host Brady Wilson explore how empathy, purpose, and a value he calls grace—accountability with heart—became the cornerstones of his leadership and culture-building approach.
🎧 You’ll hear:
- How focusing on the customer’s lived experience sparked SumoQuote’s innovation
- Why grace can balance compassion and accountability in leadership
- What it means to stay grounded and energized—long after you’ve “made it”
If you’ve ever wondered how to blend entrepreneurial drive with humility, or how to build cultures that last beyond the product, this episode will leave you re-energized and inspired.
