In this episode, we sit down with Shawn French — host of The Determined Society podcast — for a raw and honest conversation about identity, discipline, and doing the hard work when no one’s watching.

Shawn shares how he built his brand from scratch, starting with early 4am gym parking lot livestreams and 18 podcast listeners, to now interviewing some of the biggest names in sports and business. But it’s not about the numbers — it’s about the mission.

We talk about:

• Finding purpose in the middle of a comfortable but unfulfilling life
• The power of keeping promises to yourself
• Overcoming self-doubt and outside noise
• Coaching, family, and how the people around you shape everything
• Bo Jackson, Barry Bonds, and the pressure of performing when the rules change

This one goes deeper than just hustle and grind — it’s about becoming the person you’re meant to be, for the people you’re meant to serve.
