Today on the show, I've got Shawn Antonio. He is one of my best friends on Earth and is someone I've known, cried with, grown with, learned from, inspired, and been inspired by for over 20 years. He's got fun stories and unique perspectives. He's live-out-loud, bold, and audacious, and we have a great conversation about the Five types of intimacy, leadership and leadership development, being our authentic and vulnerable selves, the life-changing magic of listening, strengths and weaknesses, character traits, and more. I think you'll enjoy his refreshing perspective and his BE HERE NOW approach to life.
There is nobody quite like life coach, author, and motivational speaker Shawn Antonio. Shawn specializes in helping people lean into their purpose and inspiring and motivating them to be bigger and better, no matter their personal circumstances in life.
Shawn has died twice, almost four times. But - he keeps coming back.
Shawn knows he has a bigger purpose for being here. Shawn initially pursued a career in medicine - only to give it up to follow his heart and enjoy a successful dance career. He has lived in 3 countries and five cities. His passions ultimately led him to Los Angeles, where he became one of Hollywood's most respected and universally loved nightlife promoters for more than 16 years. Shawn knows most people in LA.
In 2017, Shawn was accused of a crime he did not commit and could not afford to fight.
Despite all the challenges Shawn has faced - he dug deep and understood that there was a purpose in the design. In his darkest hours, he wrote his first two books and started coaching a number of friends - something he had been naturally doing for years as a passion rather than a purpose.
Shawn coaches a number of celebrities and executives but is fiercely passionate about inspiring those stuck in the system - foster kids, inmates, and the homeless.
Shawn is committed to inspiring and improving the lives of 1 billion people in his lifetime - it's his 'North Star' and guiding light.
