Join host Tiffany on The Road Less Traveled for an inspiring conversation with Barak Shamir, CEO of Showdigs, an AI-powered leasing automation platform revolutionizing property management. Once a dedicated basketball player in Israel from age 7, mentoring his younger brother on the court, Barak's path took a bold pivot in 2016 when a scout—his coach's brother—spotted his potential and launched him into a global modeling career with top agencies like Select Model Management and Next Management. Drawing from icons like Sean O'Pry and Michael Jordan, he embraced vulnerability and resilience in a high-stakes industry.
Now, as a proptech trailblazer, Barak shares how he transitioned from modeling to leading Showdigs, navigating the company through bootstrapping challenges to drive innovation in real estate. In this episode, he opens up about the power of self-belief, overcoming rejections, and balancing entrepreneurial grit with staying true to his roots. Whether you're chasing bold dreams or curious about scaling a startup, Barak's story of reinvention and leadership will motivate you to carve your own path.
