About this listen

He was 10 when his father died. That trauma should’ve broken him — instead, it became his fuel.

In this powerful episode of Beauty in the Beast, Shawn Cole opens up about losing his father as a child, navigating manhood without a manual, and becoming a high-level corporate executive against all odds. What you’ll hear isn’t just inspiration — it’s instruction.

From grief to growth, from fear to leadership — this is the real story behind the titles, success, and pressure that Black men carry but rarely speak about.

Inside This Conversation:

-The real emotional toll of father loss

-Turning childhood trauma into leadership clarity

-How to lead a family when you never saw it modeled

-Corporate success without losing yourself

-The 4 rules Shawn uses to win in life and work

-Why most men are silently stuck — and how to break through

If you’ve ever asked, “Why did this happen to me?”… this episode will change the way you answer that question.
