    Love Matters (ft. Garrett Gee)

    Love matters — in life, business, personal growth — it matters immensely. But this doesn’t mean that becoming a loving person always comes easily. With life’s challenges and burdens, it can be difficult to define who you want to be and then commit to becoming that person.

    Garrett Gee, Family Travel Journalist at The Bucket List Family, is just the person to break down this week’s Shawnism: Love matters. Whether you’re loving others, learning to love yourself, or trying to minimize the trauma your children experience as they grow, love is a cornerstone of all things in life — and Garrett joins Let Me Save You 25 Years to share his thoughts, stories and experiences on this topic.

    Join us as we discuss:
    The importance of love and why it’s difficult to be a loving personWhy emotional intelligence is the secret trait the world needs more ofChoosing who you want to become, then following throughWhy some burdens are worth the weight (and others aren’t)

    Maintain Top Ambition with Infinite Patience (ft. Nate Checketts)

    Maintain Top Ambition with Infinite Patience (ft. Nate Checketts)

    If you want a successful business, you can’t treat it like a side hustle. When you jump in, proudly wear the title, and love the grind long-term — that’s when the magic happens. You have to maintain top ambition with intimate patience if you want to build something iconic. 
    Nate Checketts, CEO and Co-Founder of Rhone did just that. Jumping head first into his business, Nate left behind a job at the NFL to build something spectacular. And better yet — he broke past the fear and embarrassment to wear the company on his shirt with pride. In doing that, he didn’t just build a men’s athletic wear company, he built a company that inspires those who challenge themselves in the relentless pursuit of progress. Nate and Shawn D. Nelson break down this week’s Shawnism by diving into: Why perseverance, patience, and ambition are key to long-term successBuilding a business with the right mindset and goalsHow to push through obstacles to make a worldwide impact beyond your brand

    Practice Stubbornness with Confident Humility (ft. Travis Mills)

    When you can practice confidence to leverage humility that can temper your stubbornness — the possibilities are endless. This week a true American hero joins the pod to break down this week’s Shawnism: practice stubbornness with confident humility.

    Stay Cool & Be Kind (ft. Marshall Mosher)

    There is no situation you could land in that can’t be approached with a cool head and a healthy dose of understanding. Life isn’t about what happens to us — it’s all about how we handle it. 
    On this episode of Let Me Save You 25 Years, Shawn D. Nelson is joined by the one and only adventure extraordinaire Marshall Mosher to break down this week’s Shawnism: Stay Cool & Be Kind. Facing perhaps more than his fair share of adversity, Marshall has overcome everything from adventure challenges leaving his life on the line, career and business obstacles that kicked him back to square one and so much more — always coming out on top due to his mindset, gratitude and dedication to pushing forward. 
    Join us as we dive into:

    Know Yourself & Know Your Purpose (ft. Miki Agrawal)

    Know Yourself & Know Your Purpose (ft. Miki Agrawal)

    Everyone says, “be authentic” if you want success. But what really is authenticity? Before you can be authentic, you have to know yourself and your purpose.

    There is no one better to break down the concept of knowing yourself and your purpose than serial social entrepreneur and best-selling author Miki Agrawal. Miki shares that being yourself isn’t being an echo chamber — it’s about diversifying your experiences and perspectives and being comfortable with arguing your case. Until you’ve experienced and understood a wide range of perspectives from different people, you can’t really know who you are, what your strong beliefs are (and why) and be confident enough to back it up. 

    Join as Shawn D. Nelson and Miki Agrawal talk about:
    Why building diversity into your experience is more about creating a mosaic than a melting pot (and why this mindset is far more valuable)Learning your deepest truths and building enough confidence to share themHow to determine (or create) your purpose in life and businessSelf-awareness, personal growth and long-term sustainability
