Making Sense of Taxes with Shawn Finnegan from Taxhive
It's almost comical to recognize that in the Makes Sense Ecosystem, our cornerstone system that helps people reclaim control of their reality and learn to think for themselves in a world that is thinking for us, we inappropriately call the IRS: Interface Response System.
But when it comes to taxes, the relationship most people have with the other IRS is… complicated. We dread it. We avoid it. We joke about it. But rarely do we understand it. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain to explore how the tax system works, and more importantly, how to work with it instead of against it.
Joining me is a new friend I originally met at the fast-growing and trendy Cre8tiveCon event. He is someone who has mastered the art of navigating this strange financial landscape: Shawn Finnegan is cofounder of new highly relevant company called Tax Hive. Shawn’s not only an accomplished entrepreneur and investor, he’s the guy who managed to pitch and sell to Kevin O’Leary, ‘Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank, on becoming his business partner. Wait til you hear that story.
From being jobless during the 2008 recession to building a multimillion-dollar company, Shawn knows the highs, lows, and strategic moves it takes to succeed. Today, he’s an investor and partner in multiple ventures, including Tax Hive and The X Room, helping entrepreneurs protect their assets, minimize tax liabilities, and grow their wealth.
So, whether you’re someone who fears the IRS, ignores it, or wants to learn some great ways to keep more of what you earn, this conversation might just change the way you look at taxes forever."
On a personal note, what i love most about Shawn is that underneath his big thirst and drive to gow impactdriven companies, his most valuable asset is the time he spends with his three daughters.
