Have you ever been checking out in line at a fast-food restaurant and the person behind the counter had a glazed-over, can’t make eye contact, “I’d rather be anywhere but here” expression, and you weren’t even sure if they got your full order? How did that make you feel? Enthusiasm is infectious and it can either work for or against us.

This week, Shawn is joined by the man who has made his mark in the fashion industry, the founder of KidSuper, Colm Dillane. The two talk about the influential power of enthusiasm, how internal excitement often leads to external success, and the strange tension between authenticity and public perception.

Colm Dillane also shares some great stories about his rise into the fashion industry, the risks he took because they aligned more with his long-term vision, and how making the best of each moment will often get you where you want to be.

Look at any object and there is a business behind it—probably a dozen or more. Look at any activity—there is a business behind it. Probably a dozen or more. There’s a million ways to make a million bucks.

This week, Shawn sits down with entrepreneur, business mogul, and one of the most influential investors in the world, Mark Cuban, to talk about the art of choosing the right business path, preparing a plan for success, and adapting to the bumpy ride that it may entail.

Shawn and Mark also discuss how to judge if an idea is worth investing in, why entrepreneurship isn't for the faint of heart, and the one game-changing technology every business should use.

Season 2 of the Let Me Save You 25 Years podcast is officially here, and Shawn D. Nelson is back to bring you some brand-new, life-changing Shawnism’s each week.

This week we start with a hard truth that many of us have to learn: Business is a contact sport.

Shawn sits down with CEO, author, investor, and one of the biggest personalities on the net, Gary Vaynerchuk, to discuss why success in business is not for the weak. It’s hard, takes sacrifice, and comes with a lot of bumps and bruises along the way. You, along with your team, will fall back and stumble forward, but it’s this sort of journey that separates the committed from the opportunists.

Shawn and Gary talk about their own professional pains that they’ve encountered, collateral damage that you often can’t shield your team from, and why the highest highs often come after the lowest lows.
