Shawn's journey from struggling with SAT anxiety to becoming a successful entrepreneur and Shark Tank star is nothing short of inspiring. Shawn's story begins in the urban public schools of Las Vegas, Nevada, where he grew up in his parents' budget motel. Despite being a good student, Shawn struggled with standardized tests, scoring just above average on his first SAT attempt. Determined to improve, he spent hundreds of hours studying in the library, eventually achieving a perfect SAT score—a feat accomplished by only 0.02% of students. This achievement opened doors to top universities and half a million dollars in college scholarships. Driven by a desire to help other students, Shaan founded PrepExpert. He applied for and appeared on Shark Tank in 2015 where the competition was fierce. But Shaan secured a deal with Mark Cuban, who has been a valuable mentor and partner. That investment has allowed him to grow and expand his business. He has helped students secure one $100 million in scholarships, grants and financial aid for college. Shaan's journey is a testament to the power of determination, creativity, and resilience. His story serves as an inspiration for anyone facing challenges and looking for ways to turn obstacles into opportunities.

Send us a Text Message.Welcome back to another enlightening episode of the Lead with Levity Podcast, where we explore how to build 12 superpowers to live and lead a life full of joy, success, and authenticity. Hosted by Dr. Heather Walker, today's episode delves into the journey and wisdom of Dr. Shaan Patel, the founder and CEO of Prep Expert. If you've ever wondered how to transform an average performance into something truly extraordinary, this episode encapsulates the highlights of Dr. Patel's in-depth discussion about leadership, education, and human potential.The Power of Delayed Gratification and DisciplineHe attributes his success to developing skills such as delayed gratification, self-control, hard work, and effective time management, which were crucial not only for his academic achievements but also for his entrepreneurial success. The ability to set internal goals rather than being driven by external pressures, like parental expectations, was crucial for his sustained motivation.Transforming Education and Business LeadershipDr. Patel revealed his methodology of turning disappointment into motivation. When his SAT prep book was turned down by publishers, he used the same material to offer SAT courses, leading to the founding of Prep Expert, which has now helped thousands achieve higher test scores and win over $100 million in college scholarships.Balancing Productivity with Well-beingOne issue Dr. Walker and Dr. Patel discuss is the challenge of maintaining peak productivity without burning out, especially in remote work settings. Dr. Patel stresses the importance of delineating work from personal time and offers tangible tips like starting your day with a "morning power hour" dedicated to tackling your most challenging tasks. He shares that achieving the hardest task first makes the rest of the day more manageable and productive.How Fun and Levity Play a RoleDr. Patel explains the significance of integrating fun and levity into the work culture. Remote work does not organically offer the same opportunities for camaraderie, so his team makes a conscious effort to log into meetings early to chat or even schedule in-person gatherings when possible. Regular breaks and creating a friendly work environment contribute to a more productive and happier team.Real-life Applications: Evaluating Team CapabilitiesDr. Walker poses an insightful scenario about a new manager trying to evaluate his team. Dr. Patel recommends assigning small, manageable projects to team members to gauge their skills, work ethics, and how they handle deadlines. This approach reveals much about each individual's strengths and areas for improvement.ConclusionDr. Shaan Patel's insights offer valuable lessons on perseverance, internal motivation, and the balance between productivity and well-being.

Key Takeaways ➡️ The new digital SAT is a significant change from the paper-based exam. Students need to get familiar with the new version. ➡️ Taking the SAT or ACT is still important, even at test-optional colleges, as it can increase acceptance rates and eligibility for scholarships. ➡️ There are over $7 billion in merit-based scholarships awarded annually, and many of them consider test scores in the selection process.  ➡️ Top universities have started to reinstate SAT and ACT score requirements due to the difficulty of differentiating students based on GPA and extracurricular activities alone. ➡️ Motivation is key in test preparation. Helping students identify their why, whether it's getting into a specific college, winning scholarships, or achieving personal goals, can drive their motivation to study and improve their scores. ➡️ Parents and students should consider applying to colleges that offer merit-based financial aid, as Ivy League universities often do not provide such aid.

Are standardized tests truly the gatekeepers to higher education, or are they just another hoop to jump through in academics? In this episode of the Better Learning Podcast, Kevin Stoller delves deep into this contentious topic with Sean Patel, the mastermind behind Prep Expert. Brace yourselves for a conversation that will challenge your perceptions of education, standardized testing, and the road to success. It's no secret that college entrance exams hold immense power over a student's future. Sean Patel knows this firsthand. Despite being a stellar student, he grappled with test anxiety and uncertainty when facing the SAT. But here's the twist: Patel didn't accept defeat. Instead, he went on a journey of self-discovery and relentless preparation, ultimately increasing his score an astounding 640 points to perfection. Patel's improvement wasn't just about acing a test; it was about shattering the myth that standardized testing is an insurmountable barrier for those who don't fit the mold. This shows that the current system is flawed. Standardized testing, though intended to level the playing field, often ends up exacerbating inequalities. It's a game where the rules seem arbitrary, and victory eludes many deserving candidates. In our conversation, Patel doesn't just critique the status quo; he offers tangible solutions. From reimagining the education system to prioritizing skills over scores, he lays out a roadmap for reform that's as inspiring as it is pragmatic.   Takeaways College entrance exams play a crucial role in the college admissions process and can significantly impact a student's chances of getting into their desired university. Education should focus not only on content but also on developing skills and traits such as self-motivation, hard work, and time management. Standardized testing provides a merit-based framework for evaluating students and can help differentiate between individuals in a system with grade inflation. The education system can sometimes feel like a game, with students and schools trying to navigate the rules and achieve the best outcomes. Life can be seen as a game, with individuals striving to get ahead and succeed in various areas such as business and career. Equal opportunity is important, but making everyone equal in outcomes may not be realistic or desirable. The education system faces challenges in balancing equity and access with the realities of the real world. Drive, grit, and self-motivation are crucial for success, regardless of one's circumstances.   Learn More About Prep Expert (As Seen on Shark Tank)   Follow on Shaan Patel on Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaan-patel-md-mba-399bb8a4/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shaanpatel/   Learn more about creating better learning environments at www.Kay-Twelve.com.
