What if everything you do actually matters? Every choice. Every habit. Every moment you think is small.This week Shawn catches up with entrepreneur, wellness educator, and champion of MTV’s The Challenge, Emily Schromm, to unpack one deceptively simple idea: "Everything Matters."From the butterfly effect of daily decisions to the hidden cost of running life on autopilot, Shawn and Emily explore how intentionality shapes who we become and what we build. They also discuss the importance of being present, managing your finite energy wisely, and how impulsivity can be intentional when you’re aware.Everything changes when you realize everything matters.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What if the secret to great ideas is just trying things on, noticing what fits, and letting go of what doesn’t?This week Shawn sits down with digital creator, entrepreneur, and creative force, Rebecca Zamolo, to dive deep into the Shawnism: “Try Things On.”Shawn and Rebecca dig into how failure can ironically build confidence, why you should never attach your self-worth to a single creation, and how we’re all (yes, even successful adults) still playing dress-up in one way or another. The two also discuss how to gather feedback without losing yourself, why mental flexibility is a superpower, and how trying on ideas, identities, and even roles can unlock clarity, creativity, and confidence.If you’ve been stuck on one idea, one role, or one identity… this episode is your guide to try something new on and see what fits.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
It’s never too late to chase the dream that won’t leave you alone.This week Shawn sits down with the hilariously talented Kate Flannery, beloved as Meredith from The Office, to break down the Shawnism: "It’s Never Too Late."Kate and Shawn discuss why the right dream is the one you’ll fight for, the importance of finding small things to love even in the jobs that aren’t “the one,” and the quiet superpower of being pleasantly persistent. They also tackle how to protect your journey, avoid comparison traps, and balance ambition with real life. Plus, Kate reveals one surprising life lesson Meredith taught her.And as Meredith would say, maybe not in words, but definitely in spirit: You’re allowed to fall down. Just make sure you fall forward toward the thing you want.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
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.

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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lukas and Shawn discuss how they’ve both learned to get comfortable with the unknown, what it really means to bet on yourself and trust your instincts, and how to find peace (and even power) in life’s most unpredictable moments. Lukas also shares how he’s navigated the ups and downs of Hollywood, and the power of saying no to projects that don’t align, even when the paycheck says otherwise.This is a fantastic episode that will remind you that every successful human has one thing in common: the ability to thrive in uncertainty.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Anyone can have a great idea—but turning that idea into something people actually buy? That’s the real grind.This week Shawn sits down with the legendary founder of The Onion, Scott Dikkers, to discuss the Shawnism, “Making Stuff Is Easy, Selling Stuff Is the Hard Part.”From the challenges of keeping a company thriving after the founders move on, to balancing humility with hustle, Scott shares what he’s learned from building one of the most iconic comedy brands of all time. The two also talk about why a great product helps but isn’t enough, why failure is the best teacher, and how “selling” your work doesn’t have to mean selling out.This is another great episode packed with honesty, hard-earned wisdom, and of course, some humor. Because as Scott will tell you, making stuff is easy… selling it is the real punchline.

In a world where chaos can hit faster than your morning email refresh, staying calm isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a superpower.This week, Shawn invites speaker, investment manager, and author of Conscious Wealth, Brandon Hatton, onto the show to break down the Shawnism: “Calm is Power,” and why self-control and preparation are key to thriving through life’s messiest moments.The two discuss how consciousness fuels calmness, how financial success can sometimes create more storms than it solves, and how redefining “wealth” has nothing to do with numbers and everything to do with mindset, growth, and grace under pressure.From learning to find peace in uncertainty, to mastering what you mentally digest, this episode is a roadmap for anyone seeking clarity in the chaos.

They also share their thoughts on what it means to lead with persuasion instead of authority, how real influence comes from helping your team understand the why, and how sometimes the best thing a CEO can do is step back and let merit take the lead.This episode is thoughtful, refreshing, and may help you resist that urge to take control of things better left for others.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
