Venture Best Spotlight Season Two Episode Two

May 15, 2025 | Podcast Series

Deciding to retire from professional sports often comes with the question, “What’s next?” When Russell Shepard hung up his NFL jersey in 2020, his coach asked him about his plans. Shepard responded, “I’m about to go drive around a porta-potty truck.”  

Fast forward to today, Shep Boys Waste Management has grown into a highly successful startup with a mission to provide clean restroom solutions for job sites, disaster relief, construction projects, festivals, and more.  

What makes Shep Boys unique is their take on supporting disaster relief efforts. The Gulf Coast region is no stranger to large storms. When support teams come to help, they need safe, clean, and reliable restroom facilities. By focusing efforts along the coast, Shep Boys is focused on providing relief when and where it is needed most. 

Join us for this engaging conversation with Venture Best attorney, Jordan Lofaro as he talks to the Founder of Shep Boys, Russell Shepard. Together, they explore how geography can influence the growth of your startup, the role of storytelling plays in helping your business stand out to investors, and the value of staying humble and focusing on what you know.
