Description

In this episode, Bret Schanzenbach talks with Alan Shimamoto, founder of Accelerate Growth Coaching. Alan shares his extraordinary story—from being adopted from a Japanese orphanage to building multimillion-dollar sales organizations and a career helping business owners thrive through leadership and personal growth.

He and his wife Louisa relocated from the Pacific Northwest to Carlsbad to be near their daughter and immediately immersed themselves in the community through the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. Alan also introduces Live2Lead, a John Maxwell leadership event coming to the Chamber on January 30, 2026, featuring global thought leaders like Jesse Cole of the Savannah Bananas.

Listeners learn how Alan helps entrepreneurs “condense time,” accelerate results, and build stronger leadership through mindset, communication, and growth.
