Send us a textEver wonder how someone transforms from running teenage house parties to building a mobility scooter empire in Las Vegas? Shaun Powell's entrepreneurial journey is a masterclass in recognizing opportunity and building systems that create freedom.Four years after his first appearance on the Vegas Circle Podcast, Shaun returns with an entirely new business venture and vision. As the founder of Vegas Mobility Solutions, he's carved out a successful niche providing medical equipment to tourists visiting the Strip, but that's just one chapter in his remarkable story.Shaun's entrepreneurial spirit emerged early, starting with a job at Quizno's at age 12 (yes, he lied about his age) and evolving into organizing entertainment events in high school that drew crowds of 500-1,000 people. His natural networking abilities connected him with now-famous artists like Brent Faiyaz while his clothing brand Cash Cartel and entertainment ventures created opportunities most teenagers couldn't imagine.What makes Shaun's approach unique is his systematic thinking. Self-described as "the most productive lazy person," he transforms potential limitations into strengths by creating efficient systems that allow his businesses to run smoothly whether he's present or not. This approach gives him the freedom to be fully present for his daughter Friday through Monday while still growing multiple businesses.The conversation takes an exciting turn when Shaun reveals his next venture – developing a luxury resort just an hour outside Las Vegas. His vision for an "oasis" experience that serves both tourists and locals looking for a nearby escape demonstrates his gift for identifying market gaps and creating solutions.Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a business owner seeking better work-life balance, or simply fascinated by unconventional success stories, Shaun's journey offers valuable insights about seizing opportunities, building effective systems, and finding that crucial balance between making money and enjoying life.

The Portland Trailblazers have a sticky situation with Damian Lillard and his trade demand and Shaun wonders why the Blazers didn't trade him sooner. 24:35 ... Bruce feels that Lillard and his agent Aaron Goodwin put the Blazers in a box by demanding a trade to one team only: the Miami Heat. 26:38 ... Shaun feels Blazers rookie Scoot Henderson will come into the league and be a mature performer right out of the gate. 28:30 ... Bruce has lots of love for Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and believes he should be in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Unfortunately for Bruce, none of his colleagues agree with him.

The second apron of the new salary cap is something that is a huge factor moving forward when it comes to team building. Shaun explains the financial stakes for owners and general managers. 48:12 ... Ross is concerned that the OKC Thunder may soon be contending with salary cap issues. 49:44 ... With all of the brothers currently playing in the league, we play Word Association with Shaun. The Mobleys (Isaiah and Evan), the Holidays (Jrue, Justin, and Aaron), and the Balls (Lonzo and LaMelo) are our subjects 53:03 ... Final Thoughts: Bruce on new Indiana Pacer Bruce Brown, who signed a big free agent deal despite not being a typical "star" player. 54:17 ... World B's closing comment is on the rising OKC Thunder and their bright future. And now Chet Holmgren is ready to play after missing last year due to injury, so the team looks poised for a playoff appearance. 55:58 ...
