This week Shawn catches up with wakeboarding champion and American Ninja Warrior contestant, Shaun Murray, to break down the Shawnism, “Living Well Takes Work.”

The two discuss how micro-decisions lead to macro results, proving that intentionality and persistence can push you far beyond your self-imposed limits. Shaun shares how his own mantra, “Do now well” is the key to living a good life, and why “coming in empty handed” is a great practice for all parents.

We also get to hear Shaun’s wild story of wakeboarding from an airplane, what he means by “living a conduit life,” and how every crash or wipeout usually sets the stage for greatness, if you have the will to persevere.

This is an incredible episode that proves if you want to live well, you’ve got to be ready to work for it.

Shawn welcomes entrepreneur, investor, and author, Sahil Bloom, onto the show to discuss the Shawnism, “It’s about time.” They explore the true value of time and uncover how investing in meaningful moments can create lasting wealth—far beyond just finances.

Tying together both the Shawnism and the ideas in his new book, Sahil breaks down the five types of wealth, the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone, and how to manage time even when it feels like you have very little. Plus, the two talk about why delayed gratification is the key to a good life, and why few would trade places with billionaire Warren Buffett.

Shawn invites Sharon Price John, CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop, onto the show to share her thoughts on the Shawnism "Book the Gig" — the idea that saying yes to opportunities you're not prepared for can be one of the most powerful decisions you make.

Sharon and Shawn discuss how embracing a “who cares” mindset, listening to your intuition, and acting on it can lead to remarkable growth. They talk about the tangible benefits of a “do the best you can” mentality, the magic of writing things down, and why vulnerability is often the key to inspiring others.

Sharon also shares the untold, “un-scrubbed” stories that have shaped her successful career, and how naivety and failure can actually propel you forward.

In the end, booking the gig isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about taking that first bold step.
