02 Oct October 2, 2023 – EO Global President Myles Sherman and Investment Management Platform Trilliam Jeong
Myles Sherman – Founder and CEO of Fuse Family Ventures and Developer of The Astrid
One of my core values is that whatever you do, do it 110%. Don’t half ass
anything. My motto is to live with gratitude. Be grateful you live in this
amazing country and be grateful that you have opportunity. Entitlement
is the opposite of gratitude.
Myles Sherman
Myles Sherman is a serial entrepreneur, successful real estate developer, and, most recently, founder and CEO of Fuse Family Ventures. Myles got his start at the age of 24 with five thousand dollars and a pick-up truck in Houston, TX. He built a real estate empire but had a dream in 2008 that prompted him to sell everything before the crash. He then devoted his life to entrepreneurship (he is in 26 deals right now) and giving back. He was the Founding Member of the Houston Entrepreneurial Organization (EO) chapter and later served as Global EO President. Myles was also the Founder of Bank of Houston and Keystone Bank. His portfolio includes hundreds of construction and development projects. His newest and biggest project to date, The Astrid, is a mountainside luxury development set to break ground later this year. In addition to his professional pursuits, Myles is deeply involved with numerous non-profits, including The American Cancer Society, Ronald McDonald House, Dress for Success, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Teen & Family Services (Houston & Austin), SPCA, and more. He is also the Founder and board member of San Luis Spirits (aka Dripping Springs Vodka). Myles Sherman’s contributions and initiatives extend far beyond this, making him a multifaceted entrepreneur and philanthropist.

Trilliam Jeong – Co-Founder and CEO of WealthBlock.AI
We built a platform for crowdfunding but no one came to us to
raise capital for them. Instead, everyone was asking if they could
use our technology. Three months in, I made our first pivot.
We became a pure technology vendor.
