From farm soil to crypto charts — this is the story of a man who chose discipline over comfort, and purpose over ease.

I’m Shaun Van Der Walt — a crypto trader, farmer, investor, entrepreneur, and coach.

But before any of that, I was just a kid raised on a farm in South Africa, where life was raw, quiet, and honest.

Out there - on the farm - nothing came easy — and nothing came fast.

We worked the land with your hands, showed up every single day, and trusted in something bigger than yourself. Farming taught me the most important lessons I carry into everything I do to this day.

Show up, stay humble, and walk in faith.

Plant seeds, even when you can’t see the harvest yet.

That foundation shaped me. It shaped everything.

Even as a teenager, I knew I wanted more. Not just more money — more growth.

More purpose. More impact. I was drawn to challenges, not shortcuts.

And when I discovered crypto, I dove into it with that same mindset: show up, do the hard work, stay curious, keep learning and walk in faith.

I failed. I learned. I got back up.

My physical well-being and exercise became a key part of that transformation. It's where I learnt to show up for myself when no one else was watching — not for the mirror, but for discipline, resilience, and self-respect.

That same discipline is what I bring into the market, into business, and into life.

Traveling is a key driver that I discovered through my own financial freedom experiences I never dreamed of but through the exploration of new places I discovered that it keeps me grounded and grateful, a constant reminder that the world is vast, our potential is limitless, and there’s always more to see, more to do and more to learn.

My crypto journey was no different - there is always more to learn and it didn’t just teach me how to trade — it forged me into someone stronger, sharper, and more focused than I ever thought I could be.

My crypto journey has unlocked a level of life that I never knew was possible for a boy from the farm.

If it’s possible for me, it is possible for anyone and that is where I found my purpose in life.

At the centre of everything I do are three values:

Faith. Excellence. Growth.

Faith keeps me grounded and aligned with something higher.

Excellence challenges me to raise the bar in everything I touch.

Growth reminds me that there’s always another level — mentally, physically, spiritually.

Today, I live my purpose - I teach others not just how to trade crypto — but how to lead themselves.

How to lead a life of fulfilment, success and free of the financial stress that a large portion of society faces.

I teach people how to build structure through strategy. How to think long-term. How to develop real discipline and take control of their future.

Because this was never just about crypto.

This is about becoming the person you were born to be. With nothing holding you back.

Driven by passion. Rooted in purpose.
