In this episode of Skillionaires, Angela Thomas talks with Sebastian Scheplitz, a seasoned entrepreneur and growth mentor with over 25 years in leadership and marketing. Born in Leipzig in the 80s, Sebastian grew up in times of change, a mindset that still drives his approach to scaling companies today. From leading a school council to coaching basketball teams and building multiple startups to successful exits, his story is about adaptability, clarity, and the discipline behind sustainable growth. He shares: - how leadership principles from sports translate into business scaling, - why timing matters more than speed when hiring, - what makes or breaks a founder partnership, - and how to build teams that can win their own “Champions League.” Sebastian now works as a fractional CMO/CEO and mentor for founders, helping businesses move from 0→1, 1→10, and 10→100 – with focus, structure, and heart. ?
