Sometimes the safety nets we think are protecting us are actually the things holding us back.

In this incredible replay from last year, Shawn sits down with actor, writer, and producer, David Dastmalchian, and the timing couldn’t be better! Since this conversation was recorded, David has landed one of his biggest roles yet: the main villain, M. Bison, in the new Street Fighter movie, hitting theaters October 16.

David opens up about walking away from the destructive crutches that once controlled his life, burning the life-raft, and discovering that “safe” can sometimes be nothing more than an illusion.

From his idea of a “holy pause” to the messages and messengers that show up when you finally let go, this conversation is about taking the leap, embracing uncertainty, and discovering who you are when there’s no way back.

Sometimes, the only way forward… is to ditch the safety net.

What do you get when two cousins, a drunken idea, and a heated game of NHL ’94 collide? Somehow, a national lobster empire.

Shawn sits down with Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac, the cousins behind the Shark Tank success story Cousins Maine Lobster, to uncover what really happened between that first crazy idea and the 95 food trucks they have today, and why the hardest part of building a business may be surviving long enough to see it work.

Jim and Sabin reveal the four-year turning point that changed everything, why chasing overnight success can actually be a trap, and the hockey advice Jim still lives by today. They also unpack the surprising power of empathy, why franchisees are brought to Maine as a rite of passage, and how they protect a brand when their reputation is literally riding on someone else’s truck.

Plus: the personality test that changed how these cousins work together, the one thing they wish they’d done sooner, and the one thing that will sink a Shark Tank pitch quicker than anything.

It takes years. The trick is knowing what to do with them.

What if being called crazy was proof you were onto something?

This week Shawn sits down with 4Ocean CEO Alex Schulze to unpack how two surfers with a crazy idea, a stack of $1 bills, and almost no roadmap built a company that has now removed nearly 55 million pounds of trash from oceans and waterways.

Alex goes back to the surfing trip that changed everything, the staggering amount of plastic entering our oceans every day, and the early days when 4Ocean had to be scrappy, resourceful, and willing to figure it out later. Shawn and Alex talk about pressure creating authenticity, how to turn an overwhelming problem into one small action, and why you should learn to love the “field days.”

They also get into planned obsolescence, sustainable storytelling, how Alex’s health battles almost derailed 4Ocean’s mission, and the unexpected way one of Shawn’s toughest moments led him to buy a boat.

The lesson: You don’t need the whole plan. You just need the guts to start.
