When it comes to success, it’s not about avoiding uncertainty — it’s about learning to dance with it. This week we dig back into the vault as Shawn sits down with actor and writer Lukas Gage (The White Lotus, Euphoria, You) to unpack the Shawnism: Embrace Uncertainty.

Lukas and Shawn discuss how they’ve both learned to get comfortable with the unknown, what it really means to bet on yourself and trust your instincts, and how to find peace (and even power) in life’s most unpredictable moments. Lukas also shares how he’s navigated the ups and downs of Hollywood, and the power of saying no to projects that don’t align, even when the paycheck says otherwise.

This is a fantastic episode that will remind you that every successful human has one thing in common: the ability to thrive in uncertainty.

Anyone can have a great idea—but turning that idea into something people actually buy? That’s the real grind.

This week Shawn sits down with the legendary founder of The Onion, Scott Dikkers, to discuss the Shawnism, “Making Stuff Is Easy, Selling Stuff Is the Hard Part.”

From the challenges of keeping a company thriving after the founders move on, to balancing humility with hustle, Scott shares what he’s learned from building one of the most iconic comedy brands of all time. The two also talk about why a great product helps but isn’t enough, why failure is the best teacher, and how “selling” your work doesn’t have to mean selling out.

This is another great episode packed with honesty, hard-earned wisdom, and of course, some humor. Because as Scott will tell you, making stuff is easy… selling it is the real punchline.

In a world where chaos can hit faster than your morning email refresh, staying calm isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a superpower.

This week, Shawn invites speaker, investment manager, and author of Conscious Wealth, Brandon Hatton, onto the show to break down the Shawnism: “Calm is Power,” and why self-control and preparation are key to thriving through life’s messiest moments.

The two discuss how consciousness fuels calmness, how financial success can sometimes create more storms than it solves, and how redefining “wealth” has nothing to do with numbers and everything to do with mindset, growth, and grace under pressure.

From learning to find peace in uncertainty, to mastering what you mentally digest, this episode is a roadmap for anyone seeking clarity in the chaos. Because as Brandon reminds us: Calm isn’t passive, it’s powerful.
