Why are so many young people not motivatedWhy is Shawn so loved by everyone: his staff, his superiors and the publicHow to lead others with integrity and warmthWhy great leaders inspire through community and not egoWhat are the essential qualities of a successful leader/mentorWhy does a GM of a large gym clean floorsCan we teach leadership or are you born with itIn this episode I talk to Shawn Severson, who is by all accounts a leader, someone to look up to and learn from. He is a Senior Director at Lifetime Edina, one of the top gyms in the country…and that would entitle him to walk around like a “boss”, except - this man leads in a way that he inspires every staff member or gym member by: doing absolutely any task other staff members do from busing dishes to vacuuming and cleaning machines, interaction with members, checking on maintenance but he is ALWAYS with a smile, kind word and helpful hand. Frankly, I was astounded to watch this before I got to know him. This handsome and charismatic man, impeccably dressed in the most beautifully designed suits is also the man who vacuums the halls. He is fond of saying: I love to teach practical ways to impact those around me and to inspire others to get out of their comfort zones and become better humans.

Special guest cohost today and I couldn’t be more excited. Chelsea Kazmierczak-Goethel is a a functional and holistic nutrition practitioner and owner of Khailaz Functional Wellness. Today we talk about our tendency to delegate power and rely on external solutions for health and wellness, rather than taking action and making changes themselves.
We highlight the importance of diligence and work in transforming lives and making an impact, rather than relying on quick fixes or gadgets.
Two main lessons we cover are:
1. Healing is not a quick fix, but rather a personal responsibility.
2. Biohacking gadgets can be helpful, but self-healing requires personal experience and work.
