Welcome back to Tales From the Passenger Seat: A Sales Manager's Journey. In this episode, I discuss the power of resilience and mindset with my talented guest, Shawn Harper.

Shawn is a former NFL offensive lineman with the Rams, Colts, and NFL Europe. He is also the author of two power-packed books, The Winning Edge-8 Principles That Will Bring Out the Winner in You and The Winologist.

He has made it his mission to help others overcome their obstacles and equip them with the mindset of playing to win!
