Today we’d like to introduce you to Shivan Mahadeo

Can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. You can include as little or as much detail as you’d like.
I am an American born citizen who grew up in poverty in Plantation, Florida. My family is from Trinidad. I was placed in gifted classes very young and earned one question short of a perfect score for the Reading FCAT. I was the only person in my middle school to participate in the county science fair representing my school. I was in all honors classes in middle school, Gem Math and finished Spanish 1 and 2 honors by 8th grade. I took honors and AP French, which allowed me to join the international Frech team. During high school I was the only person in my school to win a literary fair for a haiku on World War 2. I worked at Levi Strauss & Co. as a cashier, Dr. Juice as a barista, and had the opportunity to have offers in both IBM headquarters and a company on the “Branham Top 300 List.” This was suddenly broken by my dad getting cancer. I was able to earn an IT certification that people typically do after university where I had the highest across three schools. I had joined York University and maintained a 7.0 GPA in an honors program. I held several positions at my university such as Senator, Student Caucus Leader of the Senate, and Chief Administration Officer of the Senate. I am an Academic Integrity Representative presiding cases for the Deans Office, a writer for “The Voice”, Petitions and Appeals committee senior member, Peer Mentor and of course a volunteer note sharer. I was the most requested Peer Mentor in my entire university. Ending off the year strong, I have recently become the 3rd place quarter finalist for Rolling Stone Magazine 2024, became a contestant for Milan fashion show, was invited to be an artist on a multi-platinum production team, and became a feature for the legendary Voyage ATL Magazine. I opened two of my own record labels Phantom Music and Mahadeo Music strictly for charitable causes. I then was hand selected for professional acting and modeling. As I am nearing graduation, I hope to get myself into Harvard Law School. I opened 3 financial companies and 1 business for quite a few doctors. I’ve been selected to go to a professional camp that was only for the top 200 football prospects. Lastly, I have been investing into Scottie Pippen’s infamous “Game5Ball”, in which he tokenized history. Be sure to check out $BALL: Tokenize History – The Legendary 1991 Game 5 Ball on the Blockchain which has a forecast of hitting 1 trillion dollars.

Has it been a smooth road? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has not been a smooth road. I had a few bumps in the road, such as having a family member murdered by another family member via blunt force trauma. I was only 14 when my educated mother was deported. I was left with a parent who struggled to pay bills now as a single father. My sister was unfortunately victim to sexual violence when I was only 15. I had to work, and self sustain from the time I was legally allowed to work. While others used their money as disposable income, I used my money for food and utilities the day I turned 18. My house battled foreclosure multiple times from 2014-2016. I went to the library just to use their computers. Sometimes the lights and water shut off. I had to shower and do laundry at my friend Heavynn’s house who was kind enough to let me. My father in 2017 was diagnosed with colon cancer and was very close to dying on the hospital bed. Within 6 months my grandfather had passed. I have experience assault myself from an Officer of the Plantation Police who stabbed my elbow with my legally owned pocketknife then stole the knife. This caused my blood to drip on the pavement and still have the scar to this day. I remember asking to loosen the cuffs, and he closed it tighter making my wrist blue for weeks. I was 17 and my birthday was in 3 months. They said they were going to specifically book past 3 months to try me as an adult. They placed me on 8 months probation at “West Regional Courthouse”, in which I was to report to a Probation Officer and the downtown Broward Courthouse learning my way in and out the courthouse. I have face harsh times, even homeless itself but I always know to never stop pushing.

We’d love to learn more about your work. What do you do, what do you specialize in, what are you known for, etc. What are you most proud of? What sets you apart from others?
I specialize in business with a focus on going into law school in the US very soon. I would like to pursue criminal justice specifically to help children in the criminal justice program with an effort to rehabilitate them rather than sentence them to a cycle not designed to get out of. I have special experience with murder trials from being a member of the Law and Society Students Association and having a family member go through one. Almost every single one of my minority friends were harassed and I witnessed law enforcement target underprivileged areas by household income. This is why I am going into Law. I know many hard-working law enforcement officers who really try to protect their community but there are also those who want to destroy it for monetary gain and social political atmosphere. What sets me apart from others is the fact that I vowed to protect not just every American, but every Canadian, and as many places globally to move humanity at least 1% forward.

I’m most proud of winning for most of the duration of the American Top Hitmaker contest sponsored by “MusiCares,” “Busta Rhymes,” and “Leaders Are Legends.” MusiCares helps professionals dealing with addiction and health issues. Together, all contestants raised 2.1 million dollars for a great cause, and I was lucky enough to place 3rd place as a quarter finalist. I raised money for Rolling Stone, Oceana, The National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc, The James Beard Foundation, Taste of Home, The Coca Cola Company, Paws, Tony Hawk, Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, and Gibson Gives. I joined the Great Canadian Cycle challenge for children with cancer. Recently, I participated in a local charity night run with glowsticks, for children with out food to eat. I personally experienced starvation several times in the past. I have participated in Trick or Treat for UNICEF, raising money to build wells in Africa and help sanitize water. Since age 7, I started participating in cancer and autism walks which sparked my interest in supporting charity. I am most known for my charitable efforts and I am the proudest of these achievements.

What role has luck (good luck or bad luck) played in your life and business?
I was lucky enough to have these opportunities who can have very easily been given to someone else. I will forever be appreciative to be here and share my past to improve the life of the next person who may be going through a hard time. I would like to be their boulder and show them what it means to be a Rolling Stone. Luck played a part in my businesses, where I was lucky enough to have partnerships with 7 medical facilities. I had contacted every property manager in Brampton Ontario, sifting through 99 plus pages on LinkedIn. We have staff sanitizing locations in Richmond Hill and Brampton, Ontario. We owe these sales to the luck of the pandemic. During this time medical facilities and real estate needed cleanings, and all staff are certified in Covid-19 level sanitation for medical grade facilities. The demand in cleaning skyrocketed during this time and our employees were classified as essential workers. We were lucky enough to cross paths with a young CEO named Jamie Prickett who currently owns Experior Financial. Mr. Prickett had gone from selling his all furniture for money, struggling as a person without a high school diploma, to now owning one of the fastest growing companies in America and daily driving a driving a rare McLaren 650LT supercar. His son fell ill and accredits him beating cancer as pure luck. I was lucky enough to meet online sensations Omar Elattar from the Passionate Few and Manny Khoshbin from Minutes with Manny. Without them, I would have known what it means take life to the next level. While I was 20 years old working at a Dr. Juice Health, located in Lauderdale by the Sea, I was able to meet NBA three time All-Star and 2004 Champion Richard Hamilton and Pro Bowl winning NFL super star Vontae Davis, who were both friends of my boss Pai Daiyan. They became my role models. I saw past not just wealth but what it means to be a legend. Not just in business but in humanity. They allowed me to express myself freely and not judge me no matter what. Evan Carmichael, Tim Grover, Andy Elliott, Ed Mylett, and Dr. David Meltzer played special pivotal roles in my life. Also, special thank you to Tai Lopez for inviting me to his events. He held dinners for high level entrepreneurs, like “Shark tank’s” Kevin O’ Leary, Jim Kwik and more! The children of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Drake, Lebron, Shaq, Kobe, Lil Wayne, Jay Z, Will Smith, and Kanye West all serve as current inspirations to me. I was lucky enough to have personal motivation from Soulja Boy, Wes Watson and Kodak Black which meant the world to me. Nicki Minaj is the one who prompted me to really start now rather than later. I hope one day to be lucky enough to meet Meek Mill. Luck brought me to even know who these people are. I cannot be more grateful and humbled to know how much their stories inspired me. So, I would like to do that for the next generation. We started a business called Mahadeo Wealth Management Inc. We hope to go back to the US to continue the expansion of our companies. I will be focusing on using all this influence to hopefully build my own school or charity for children without food and shelter. Lastly, I would like to donate to the mental health community for victims of trauma, sexual abuse and homicide. We strive for a better world for everyone to live in.
