Episode 39

When I met my guest on today’s show, Shawn, I have to be honest, I was having a bad few days. I wasn’t sure how this podcast was going to go, because I just wasn’t feeling like myself. I was pretty nervous logging on and didn’t know what to expect. The minute I connected with Shawn all of my worries evaporated into the thin air. He is ranked as the #1 motivational author and international keynote speaker and I got to experience his talents and gifts first hand.

Shawn is special and got me out of my head within minutes of us talking. It was an incredible conversation. Shawn has been an entrepreneur since the age of 10. He started off selling worms to fishermen. He has come a long way since then, as he is a 7-time author and the creator of “Extra Mile Day”…a day declared by 507 cities on 11/1/2020 recognizing extra mile volunteer heroes in local communities. Shawn walks the talk. He’s built a million-dollar company, pedaled a bike 4,000 miles across the U.S. (twice), run a 100-mile race, and created adventures in 45+ countries including having walked across seven countries since 2014.

On today’s show we discuss how Shawn became a motivational speaker, the power of encouraging others, the battery charger of the human spirit, the gift of self-awareness, the repercussion of being out of balance, the 3 questions you must ask yourself every morning, some motivational words for non-native speakers, The Extra Mile Day and Shawn’s dream box.
