02 Nov 2020
Meet Dr. Shaan Patel MD, MBA ⏪⏪ Follow him on IG Dr. Patel grew up in Las Vegas in his parents' budget motel, attended inner-city public schools in the worst school district in the nation with a 40% dropout rate, and was clueless about standardized tests. After spending hundreds of hours studying for the SAT, he was able to raise his score from average to perfect — a feat achieved by only 0.02% of all high school students. His life completely changed because of his perfect SAT score! He was admitted into prestigious universities, received a quarter-million dollars in scholarships, and even got to meet the President. Dr. Patel created Prep Expert to help high school students achieve their own dreams. In this Episode: we talk about how to achieve mega success in your twenties, closing a multi-million dollar investment from Mark Cuban, and the ability to put your phone down and actually work. We explore the concept of deep work, whether education or experience is more important in creating your dream business, study and work habits of the ultra successful, and more. A man of humility, Dr Patel redefined what millennial success can look like. About Prep Expert Prep Expert is one of the nation’s fastest-growing test preparation provider.
