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.

Leadership is not about glory. Leadership is about gratitude.

This week Shawn chats with NFL quarterback, Jaxson Dart, to talk about one of the most powerful lessons any leader can learn: “Use We Instead of I.”

From the locker room to the boardroom, Jaxson and Shawn talk what it really means to lead through teamwork, and why true leadership is about taking responsibility when things go wrong and sharing credit when things go right.

The two also dive into what it takes to be the first in and the last to leave, how to handle the highs and lows of being the face of a team, and why success, in sports and life, is always built on the shoulders of others.

Because in the end, every win, like every touchdown, is a team effort.
