Greatness often begins when you’re ready to do the unglamorous, grinding, foundational work most people avoid.

Going back into the vault for this week, Shawn brings on three-time Olympic gold medalist, and one of the most dominant action-sports athletes in history, Shaun White, to discuss the Shawnism: “Be willing to sweep floors.”

The two dig into what it really takes to rise: working with what you’ve got (even if you didn’t grow up on a mountain), choosing humility over ego, and recognizing that no one gets anywhere alone. Shaun also shares how relationships, grit, and an unwavering willingness to do the hard, unglamorous work shaped every victory.

This episode teaches us all about ambition, and why sweeping floors might just be your ultimate competitive advantage.

You can plan, prepare, and strategize, but some lessons only reveal themselves once you jump.

This week Shawn sits down with the powerhouse sisters behind The Elf on the Shelf, Chanda Bell and Christa Pitts, to explore the truth behind the Shawnism: “You Can’t Know What You Don’t Know.”

Shawn, Chanda, and Christa dig into the value of knowing the worth of your idea, the evolution of vision, and why authenticity, paired with the courage to adapt, is the magic ingredient behind lasting success. Chanda and Christa also share how a simple family tradition grew into a global phenomenon, and how much of that journey required learning on the fly, trusting their instincts, and moving forward before they had all the answers.

This is an episode for anyone staring down a new beginning. Go for it. The learning will meet you on the path.

Sometimes the smartest move isn’t to fight harder… it’s to step back and fight better.

This week Shawn catches up with actress, dancer, designer, and creative powerhouse, Megan Batoon, for a deep, refreshingly honest conversation about what it really means to lose the battle to win the war.

The two discuss how messy and consistent action can save you when perfection can’t, the importance of recognizing the fights that drain you versus the ones that actually move you forward, and why quitting isn’t always a failure, sometimes it’s just an intermission.

If you’ve ever wrestled with whether to pivot, pause, or press on, this chat will give you the clarity to choose the battles that actually help you win the war.
