Enthusiasm is Infectious (feat. Colm Dillane) | Episode 29 Nov 21, 2024

Have you ever been checking out in line at a fast-food restaurant and the person behind the counter had a glazed-over, can’t make eye contact, “I’d rather be anywhere but here” expression, and you weren’t even sure if they got your full order? How did that make you feel? Enthusiasm is infectious and it can either work for or against us.

This week, Shawn is joined by the man who has made his mark in the fashion industry, the founder of KidSuper, Colm Dillane. The two talk about the influential power of enthusiasm, how internal excitement often leads to external success, and the strange tension between authenticity and public perception.

Colm Dillane also shares some great stories about his rise into the fashion industry, the risks he took because they aligned more with his long-term vision, and how making the best of each moment will often get you where you want to be.

You, along with your team, will fall back and stumble forward, but it’s this sort of journey that separates the committed from the opportunists.

Shawn and Gary talk about their own professional pains that they’ve encountered, collateral damage that you often can’t shield your team from, and why the highest highs often come after the lowest lows.

Know Yourself & Know Your Purpose (ft. Miki Agrawal) Apr 03, 2024

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.

Everything Else is Dust (ft. Montell Jordan) Mar 20, 2024

Life is busy, especially when you're investing yourself across a lot of avenues. Between business, family, relationships and everything in between, It can be hard to balance everything. But, balance isn't what you need - prioritization is the key to investing in the right areas of your life. Everything else is dust. Your family, the people you love and the things you really care about - how much of you are they losing to other things? While you can't cut off all other time investments, you have to embrace prioritization. Joining us is the legendary Montell Jordan, legendary Def Jam Records headliner, musician, songwriter, singer, performer, and producer-gone-church leader was faced with many of these decisions over his career.

Talk Big, Work Small (ft. David Meerman Scott) Mar 13, 2024

Don't be a cover band - play your own original music. Proudly. If it's truly original, unique and interesting, you'll appear larger than life, even when your resources are meager. It all starts with this week's Shawnism: Talk Big; Work Small.You can be and become whatever you want - it just takes figuring out something in the universe you are good at or finding a pattern in the universe no one else sees. This is what legendary author and marketing master David Meerman Scott says. From big promises to small actions, like being active and engaged on social media and leveraging AI for productivity and ideation, you have to find the balance between bold talk and humble work.When you embrace BOLDNESS and set a title, or goal, or commit to an original mindset and talk BIG, then put in the small work to bring it to life, you can build a life (and career) that sets you apart and puts you on the path to ultimate fulfillment.

Embrace Uncertainty (ft. Lukas Gage) Mar 06, 2024

There are a few universal principles that set successful founders and entrepreneurs apart from those who fail, and no one's talking about them. One of those superpowers successful entrepreneurs ALL have in common? The ability to THRIVE in uncertainty. On this episode, actor and writer Lukas Gage, a Hollywood hot commodity who plays roles in your favorite shows today - White Lotus, Euphoria, You, and so much more - joins to break down this Shawnism: Embrace Uncertainty.Lukas shares how he has had to get comfortable with the unknown, including the uncertainty that comes from saying 'no'.

Quit or Keep Going (ft. Joe De Sena) Feb 21, 2024

The nastiest, gnarliest physical, mental, emotional things we face are really quite simple: QUIT or KEEP GOING.Both are viable and reasonable options, and both should be used at certain times in our lives. You have to start with a strong WHY. Why are you doing this? Your purpose is the main thing that will drive the decision to stop or keep going. For deeper insight into this topic, we welcome the Founder and CEO of Spartan, Joe De Sena, who talks about an important lesson to him: If you don't want to do it, you have to do it. Joe helps us understand the power of knowing when to embrace challenges and keep pushing forward, and when it's acceptable to quit.

It’s Your Fault (ft. Jax Taylor) Feb 14, 2024

Whether you're responding to a life-altering mistake or a life-changing success, you need to keep this week's Shawnism in mind: IT'S YOUR FAULT.Sure, there are often outside factors or other people that contribute to our decisions and their consequences. But, as Shawn and today's guest discuss, there's always room for more accountability-and that's the not-so-secret ingredient to positive change and personal growth.Reality TV star and entrepreneur Jax Taylor (Vanderpump Rules) joins us this week and opens up about his journey from top of the world to rock bottom and back again. Jax doesn't hold back from honestly reflecting on (and owning up to) his mistakes and behavior that led to his public fall from grace. But one thing that really makes Jax stand out is his commitment to the hard work and hard decisions that go into true and lasting growth.Shawn and Jax talk about the value of the RIGHT advice from the RIGHT people-and how anyone from your closest loved ones to a podcaster or author you've never met can save you from setting yourself back on your personal journey or having to start from the beginning. They also discuss why it's so vital (though never easy) to balance and prioritize so many different important areas of your life, despite societal pressure to focus on things like finances and success. And, of course, throughout the conversation, they discuss how much control YOU have along the way-no matter what you're responding to or what journey you're on.

Mind the Experts (ft. Dan Abrams) Feb 07, 2024

Experts are important- we need people who are so immersed, so focused on one thing that they know it inside and out. BUT there are times when they can be too much in it and the vision narrows, instead of expanding to the possibilities..So this is when you need to MIND THE EXPERTS- know when to disregard them and move ahead anyway.We have a true expert in a super tricky field this week to weigh in on this topic. Dan Abrams is the CEO and Founder of Abrams Media, host of Dan Abrams Live on NewsNation, host of On Patrol: Live on Reelz, Chief Legal Affairs Correspondent for ABC News, host of SiriusXM radio's The Dan Abrams Show: Where Politics Meets The Law, and host and executive producer of Court Cam and Taking the Stand on A&E Network. He is also the author of numerous New York Times bestselling books on overlooked trials in history. Shawn and Dan talk about media bias- and how we can recognize it and seek out the diverse perspectives we so desperately need now. They also get into what makes effective leadership (they agree humility is key) and reflect on past experiences about learning from experience and ... some mistakes.You don't want to miss this episode- because if you always follow the expert advice, you may miss you big opportunity. (And we would not have Lovesac as it is today). This Shawnism can get tricky but it is important: MIND THE EXPERTS.

Make Your Own Luck (ft. London Lazerson) Jan 31, 2024

Luck isn't what it seems. You don't sit back and receive it passively - you go out, live your life a certain way, make choices and DO things (sometimes many things) that position you to MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK. You need to get to where the opportunity is and be ready for it.

Here is a living breathing example of this week's Shawnism.Shawn and London banter about striving for a mix of effort and luck- how they make their own luck through hard work, networking, and strategic decision-making, BUT both also acknowledge the unpredictable and fortuitous elements that contribute to their achievements. If you are any type of creative - especially a content creator - you will want to hear how London keeps a beginner mindset and leans hard into perseverance. This isn't just manifesting luck. This is work too - so get out there and put this Shawnism into practice: MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK.

Keep One Hand on the Now (ft. Kara Goldin) Jan 10, 2024

Let Me Save You 25 Years' Host Shawn D. Nelson is back for a brand new episode with a brand new Shawnism: Keep One Hand On the Now and One Hand On the Next. Shawn knows all too well the importance of following this lesson-because there was a time when he didn't, and he paid for it.This week, we're joined by Kara Goldin, the Founder of Hint, Inc. and one of the most successful women entrepreneurs in a very crowded beverage industry. Throughout her journey from working in magazine circulation to a CEO in an entirely different industry, Kara has exemplified how to balance focusing on present challenges and keeping an eye out for future opportunities. Because of this, she has so many great stories that illustrate how far a little (or a LOT) of resilience and initiative can take you.From a buyer discontinuing their business with Hint and another one immediately stepping up to buy the resulting overrun, to an incredible (but challenging) opportunity presenting itself during the pandemic, Kara's success with Hint pairs perfectly with this week's Shawnism.Kara and Shawn also talk about the importance of challenging industry norms and conventional wisdom (just because you hire trusted experts doesn't mean you ALWAYS have to trust them), and unexpected sources of inspiration-from other industries to worst-case scenario brainstorming sessions.It can be easy to get bogged down by day-to-day operations at the expense of future opportunities (or vice versa), but as you'll see from Kara and Shawn's conversation, achieving balance is not only possible, it's NECESSARY to bring your business, career or craft to that next level.

Push Yourself Out of the Nest (ft. Daniel Pink) Dec 20, 2023

"Push Yourself Out of the Nest" - this is a critical concept for anyone who wants to do anything even remotely great. This bias for action is Let Me Save You 25 Years' Host Shawn D.

It's part of the learning process even if that first flight is a bust.Shawn talks to one of his favorite authors Daniel Pink, who penned five New York Times bestsellers (some of them #1 bestsellers), including his latest, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward. His entire body of work has loads of insights on miscalculation, risk management, and valuable decision-making tools, such as opportunity costs and the "tie goes to the runner" heuristic. We think we have to figure things out, and then take action. When in fact, action is a form of figuring things out. Let's be honest - we learn more by doing than we do by contemplating.

You Never Know Until You Ask (ft. Verne Harnish) Nov 29, 2023

'Let Me Save You 25' Years Host Shawn D. Nelson is back with a Shawnism that might be THE key turning point in your business or personal journey: "You Never Know Until You Ask." Don't shrink because of doubt! Most of what you desire to happen remains in the realm of dreams unless you are bold enough to simply ASK.This is the ultimate in advocating for yourself. If you are raising money, hiring the right people and getting them to join you, or winning allies- you need to put it out there or you will remain in the same place- just fantasizing the "what if's. " No one is advocating for you, but you. My friend, the entrepreneur's guru, Verne Harnish did this and it certainly changed his trajectory. When he was a freshman in college, he asked the chairman of his company if he could live with him- that's right, he just came out and asked. Emulating his heroes like David Carnegie he wanted to grow connections- and you know what- the chairman said yes!Verne Harnish is the Owner and CEO, Scaling Up: A Gazelles Company, the father of a movement in business building that stands completely on its own as a pillar among the CEO of gazelles. He is on many boards, a world-leading speaker, author, and entrepreneur in the field of business growth, AND the author of six books, including the best-selling 'Mastering the Rockefeller Habits.' Shawn and Verne talk about identifying the top 25 people that can help you succeed, how self-awareness is the root of all success and that there's always somebody out there that's smarter and more connected than you are - your job is just to get to them. Taking a risk like this is no small leap. People can be afraid of the NO and not let the excitement of YES, or even MAYBE, propel them ahead.. Don't be the person who stays wondering what could have happened. Take the leap because YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU ASK!
