In this quietly powerful episode of Project Red, we’re talking about what it means to re-soul—to stay in the story when everything in you wants to escape it. When the dream gets heavier than you expected. When the cost cuts deeper than you planned. When resolve means more than pressing on—it means rebuilding from the inside out.

Our hosts, Patrick Austin and Will McGinniss, sit down with strategist, storyteller, and coach Brian Shun, whose journey from adoption to identity, from burnout to clarity, offers a deeply human portrait of what it takes to keep going—truthfully, wisely, and well.

A man who’s worn many hats but always followed one throughline—people over product, depth over performance—Brian invites us into the heart-work of leadership, legacy, and choosing repair over retreat. From his own story of returning to Korea to meet his first foster family, to coaching high-capacity leaders through high-stakes moments, he speaks with clarity, candor, and a hard-won hope that doesn’t flinch at the mess.

Here’s what we’re getting into:
🔥 What “resolve” really means—and what it costs
🔥 Living out adoption—and the ache of not seeing yourself in the mirror or those around you
🔥 The difference between grit and stubbornness
🔥 Why dysfunction can feel safer than transformation
🔥 The power of facing pain instead of analyzing it
🔥 Identity, faith, and the ground you grow from

If you’re tired of pushing but don’t want to quit, or if you're trying to swing again without re-injuring your soul—this one’s for you.

Listen in. Be willing to be wrong. Find out what’s still true.
And if you’ve got to re-soul your shoes for the next climb—lace up.
