Shopify co-founder Daniel Weinand. One call changed his life. #motivation #shopify #theexitpodcast

I got a call from him and he said, look, I have this idea. And then he told me about this online store software that he had already created because there were no viable solutions at the time. So then he said, well, I have this thing, but I want to turn it into something that, you know, anyone can use. And he basically, when, when we talked about this, we figured out during the phone call, this is going to be the holy grail. And he said, when I, you know, I need help, like, would you consider coming over and help me build this? Said, well, I'm. I'm still doing my. My master's at the University of Dortmund, and I was about between one and two semesters away from finishing my degree. And he said, well, we don't have the time. Like, it's got to be now. So I said, okay, fine, I'm going to drop out. You dropped? I didn't know that. I dropped out of university, moved countries, came to Canada, and yeah, then we just started building it and it was just pretty crazy.
