The determined society

The Podcast

The Podcast is where real conversations cut through the noise. No gimmicks, no guru-speak — just unfiltered stories, raw insight, and the kind of truth you feel in your gut. Hosted by Shawn French, it’s not about chasing clout — it’s about remembering who you are, why you’re here, and how to live fully on your terms. If you’re wired for more and done pretending otherwise, welcome. You’ve found your people.

The Mission

The Determined Society exists to amplify truth, celebrate grit, and build a culture around real, earned impact.

We’re here to elevate voices, challenge limits, and remind people that determination isn’t a mindset—it’s a movement.

The Society

The Society is more than a podcast — it’s a living ecosystem for the bold, the honest, and the all-in.

Built around real conversations, curated culture, and community-driven content, it’s where creators, entrepreneurs, athletes, and outsiders come to connect, share, and remember who they really are.

If you feel like the world’s getting louder but saying less, you’re in the right place.

The Newsletter

Unfiltered, unmissable, and absolutely free.

Coming soon! A weekly drop of truth, energy, and culture straight from the heart of The Society.

Early access. Playlist picks. Fan features. And the stories no one else is telling.
