How This Early Amazon Employee Became The Billion Dollar Co-Founder Of Redfin

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we are joined by a wonderful guest, Dave Selinger who shares his amazing story of entrepreneurship, creating value with time, his Amazon journey, finding life balance, creating a life that’s prioritizing family, and designing a successful business that is worth a billion dollars!

Dave Selinger is a husband, father, tech entrepreneur, an advisor at Opus 12 Inc., and Notarize, Inc., co-founder of Silicon Climate, and co-founder/CEO at Deep Sentinel, a pioneer in AI-based home protection. Its intelligent crime prevention transforms home security from false alarms and ineffective after-the-fact crime alerts to real-time crime prediction and prevention. This man is also the founder of a number of successful and unsuccessful start-ups, including Redfin and RichRelevance.

Being an early Amazon employee, work was Dave’s top priority. It’s a blessing that he recognizes that he needs to have his family to come first. Thus, he finds that framework to make a transition of career path. Finding balance is what he is really into. The quality of time spent with his family is what matters more for him. By exiting Amazon, Dave is now living a lifestyle that works hard, plays hard, and loves hard every day. Being always unsatisfied with things around him, this man is always looking for things that make it better!
