Listen to Fred Schebesta's journey on how he defeated a Google SEO misfortune of losing 80% of their traffic overnight, overhauling his business model to build an innovative comparison shopping service Finder, which is worth an estimated 1 billion dollars today. Also get Fred's startup tips and a few of his incredible inspirational takeaways that gave me goosebumps.

Fred is an award winning entrepreneur, international speaker, author, media commentator and a popular figure in the startup and crypto world. Ever since I first saw and heard Fred speak some 10 years back, when he was running Credit Card Finder, Fred's journey with Finder has always inspired me.

Fred is one of Australia’s richest young people today, with a wealth close to $200 million dollars.

Today Finder runs websites in 83 countries, with 10 million visitors per month. Fred also leads Finder’s venture capital arm, Finder Ventures and HiveEx.com, a cryptocurrency brokerage.

Finder just released a new app - Finder app which can be downloaded from both the Apple App Store and Google Play store

Fred has a string of awards and accolades to his name, including Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017 and Blockchain Entrepreneur of the Year 2019. He was a judge for the Startup Smart Awards in 2011 and 2012. Fred was also listed in Business Insider’s Coolest 100 people in Australian tech in 2016.

According to DailyMail Fred was once broke, eating canned spagetti daily and wearing taped torn shoes.
