Bootstraps, Battle Scars & Reinvention with Entrepreneur Chris Shurian
Chris Shurian on resilience, entrepreneurship, and earned wisdom.
On this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes entrepreneur, storyteller, and resilience expert Chris Shurian for a raw and unforgettable conversation about grit, reinvention, and what it really takes to keep going.
Chris’s life reads like a movie—growing up between Southern California and rural Montana, navigating deep spiritual transitions, surviving cancer, completing two Ironmans, and building (and rebuilding) businesses across nine industries over nearly four decades. He’s won big, lost big, and learned the lessons most entrepreneurs only talk about.
As the founder of Bootstraps & Battle Scars and creator of Founders Exchange, Chris now helps entrepreneurs in the trenches strip off the armor, get honest, and grow into extraordinary leaders—without the fake hustle.
This episode dives into:
• Reinvention after failure
• Lessons earned the hard way
• Entrepreneurship without the highlight reel
• Purpose beyond profit
• Why scars matter more than success stories
If you love real stories from real people who’ve lived it—not just preached it—this one’s for you.
