What if the biggest problem with “sustainability” is that most of it simply doesn’t sustain?

This week Shawn sits down with Kurt Avery, Founder and President of Sawyer Products, to expose the truth behind greenwashing and unpack what real sustainability actually looks like in business, in products, and in impact.

Shawn and Kurt dive into what “real technology” means, Kurt’s powerful philosophy behind “there are no U-Hauls in heaven,” and why defining your personal “currency” changes everything in life and business. They also discuss how to spot when an “eco-friendly” product is total BS, and what happens when you create a solution to a problem affecting millions, and realize you have no choice but to act.

This episode will change how you think about purpose, profit, and building something that actually lasts.

What if the biggest threat to your future isn’t failure, but the wrong people you let too close?

This week Shawn sits down with Alex Costa, the man who walked away from a career at Google and built the global brand Forte Series, to discuss the Shawnism: "Don't let someone ruin your career (or life).”

Shawn and Alex break down the real cost of surrounding yourself with the wrong people, how opinion overload can quietly derail your path, and the value of leaning into the dunes of life and business. The two also share their thoughts on why everyone doesn’t belong in every room of your life, and what they mean by, “having a vision, but always keeping it in pencil.”

Because the truth is, your career (and your life) isn’t defined overnight. It’s shaped slowly by who you listen to, who you trust, and who you keep around.

We’re bringing back a fan-favorite conversation that hits even harder today: why do we buy so much… and why does it still feel like it’s never enough?

In this replay, Shawn revisits one of his most practical Shawnisms: “Only Buy Things You Love.” Because let’s be honest, late-night scrolling and “add to cart” has become a lifestyle.

Shawn sits down with bestselling author and personal finance powerhouse “Your Rich BFF,” Vivian Tu, to unpack the psychology behind our spending habits, the sneaky ways social media fuels over-consumption, and why so many of us were never taught how money actually works in the first place. Vivian also breaks down value-based spending in a way that’s simple, actionable, and maybe a little bit life-changing.

If your wallet has ever asked, “What was that purchase about?”… this replay is for you.
