On this weeks episode of Silicon Valley Impact, we have Shawn Flynn, Edward Sullivan and Dariusz Paczuski.

Shawn Flynn mid-market investment banker and Podcast Host. Shawn started his career as a business owner, founding, and growing a successful company in Beijing China before returning to the US to work with companies ranging from fast growing Silicon Valley startups to established overseas public companies. He brings his international experience working with all stages and sectors of businesses to his role as Principal at a premier middle market investment bank with expertise in mergers and acquisitions, raising growth capital, and secondaries. Shawn holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from UCSD, and speaks Mandarin and Spanish (lived abroad for almost 8 years) and he is the host of the award-winning Podcast "The Silicon Valley Podcast"

Joining us from New York is Edward Sullivan! Edward is the CEO of Velocity Coaching and the co-author of WSJ Bestselling Leading with Heart. For over 10 years, Edward has coached clients ranging from startup founders to Fortune 100 CEOs to help them build heart-led cultures and deliver world-class results. Finally, in studio is Dariusz Paczuski. Dariusz is the CEO and founder of Rocket Works, creator of Rocket Vodka, a long-time Silicon Valley CMO, and a Polish/Norwegian immigrant. He came to the US from Norway on a swim scholarship to study business. His drive to compete in and out of the water has fueled his passions and professional life since – and even earned him the nickname the Polish Rocket, the inspiration for our brand name. As a lifelong athlete, he brings a growth mindset and extreme collaboration with peers and teams to always improve, grow, excel, and win! Looking up and to the future, he’s putting his business, branding, and marketing experience and expertise to work for Rocket Vodka and their aspiration to create the fastest-growing vodka in California.
