Through The Determined Society, Shawn dives deep into the mindset, resilience, and strategies behind success, offering listeners raw, unfiltered insights into overcoming adversity and achieving greatness.

Shawn’s journey to The Determined Society was fueled by personal transformation. He started as a high-level athlete, earning an athletic scholarship to Louisiana State University (LSU), where he played baseball. After his playing days, he transitioned into coaching, then entered the Human Capital Management and medical device sales industries, where he became a top 1% performer during his tenure. Despite professional success, Shawn felt unfulfilled. He knew he had a greater purpose—helping others break through limiting beliefs and become the best versions of themselves.

That drive led him to create The Determined Society. What started as a passion project has evolved into one of the most respected personal development and entrepreneurship podcasts today. Shawn has transformed himself from a corporate leader to a skilled, intentional host, known for drawing out compelling, impactful stories from some of the world’s most successful individuals. His ability to connect deeply with guests—from elite athletes and business moguls to Hollywood celebrities—has made The Determined Society a must-listen for those looking to level up in life.

Beyond podcasting, Shawn is a sought-after coach, speaker, and author of Unstoppable: The High-Performance Mindset. His work focuses on mental toughness, discipline, and intentionality—key pillars that help individuals unlock their potential and thrive. Through The Determined Society brand, he continues to inspire and equip people with the tools to take ownership of their future, silence self-doubt, and embrace relentless determination.

Shawn’s mission is simple: to create a movement where people unapologetically pursue their dreams with unwavering determination and grit.
