What if generosity wasn’t something you waited to “earn”, but something you practiced the moment you could?

This week Shawn catches up with the founder of Fans First Entertainment and the wildly original mind behind the Savannah Bananas, Jesse Cole, to unpack a powerful Shawnism: “If I can afford it for me, I can for others.” Not just financially, but in spirit, effort, and intention.

Shawn and Jesse explore why giving things away often brings more in return, why Jesse refuses to focus on competition, and how long-term fans always beat short-term profits. The two also share why generosity has nothing to do with money and everything to do with how you show up, why the best creators build what they genuinely love, and the philosophical difference between chasing a billion fans and chasing a billion-dollar valuation.

Whether you’re building a brand, a team, or a community, this episode proves that generosity isn’t a cost, it’s the strategy.

It’s a new year, and Shawn is flying solo.

In the very first solo episode of Let Me Save You 25 Years, Shawn tackles a question that feels heavier than ever: Why does everything feel broken? And more importantly… how do you live well anyway?

Shawn unpacks his honest answer, and shares the mindset shifts that help him stay grounded, hopeful, and purposeful when things feel overwhelming. He also reflects on the same two New Year’s resolutions he makes every year, how personal agency may be the most valuable skill you can develop today, and why time, not money, is the ultimate currency.

This episode isn’t about fixing the whole world. It’s about leaving your small, meaningful bit of light in it, and choosing to live well anyway.

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.
