Ep 26: Raj Shingadia, Southeast Aquariums.

Raj Shingadia always wanted to be a lawyer — until a professor convinced him the reality of a law career was nothing like he imagined. With no backup plan, he started taking steps. He tried commercial real estate. He went deep on his aquarium hobby. He started growing coral in his basement to offset the cost. And then 2008 happened — and everything he had built was wiped out overnight.What came next is one of the most compelling founder stories I've heard: how Raj turned a side hustle into Southeast Aquariums, one of the most respected custom aquarium design and construction companies in the country — and how that same business landed him a contract to build sets for Marvel's Black Panther.Southeast Aquariums: https://www.seaatlanta.com Dana's Newsletter: nationofdoers.substack.com
