Shawn reflects on growing up on the south side of Columbus, OH, being pulled back to first grade and dealing with being told he would never make it among other names. He was diagnosed with learning disabilities in the 5th grade, started down a wrong path and talks about how he turned his life around. 

After high school, he attended North Iowa CC (NIACC) and did not play his entire first season. Shawn speaks about his call home and then what he told his teammates he was going to do. Shawn played at Indiana University, we hear why Indiana and then was drafted in the 4th round by the Los Angeles Rams. He speaks about his injury that could have ended his career and his thoughts on being cut years later by the Indianapolis Colts. 

What led to becoming a motivational speaker for over 22 years, he talks about a couple quotes he uses and what is in the book you get for FREE (See Links)! After being asked if I was a private investigator, we hear about his time on MTV’s Made reality show. Learn how to connect with Shawn and what it is like being a family man.
