#14 Max Barringer

Max Barringer is the co-founder of an eCommerce start-up company called Slashare.

This all started when Max was an internet blogger since he was 12 years old. He learned and built large fandom like communities online and created merchandise / unique items to sell to them. Life was fun and fast. Friends came and went. Work became an easy way to bury his individual problems and focus on other “things”. Eventually, life hits everyone in the face and it’s your time to fight your demons. At his lowest, Max caught a bug for yoga and it transformed his life for the better. It became a way to express his light and coach others along the way. 

Thank you for listening to today's episode be sure to check out Slashare as well. If you'd like $100 worth of products contact Max below.
