Chapter 1: What is Shawn Meaike's background and experience?
So I was 97 pounds. Holy crap. I graduated at 195. I got 100 pounds in four years. Damn. But I graduated at 17, so I was really young as a freshman. I didn't even think about going through puberty. And I was just like walking around, didn't even realize. I realized how small I was compared to them as they started to mature and stuff. But, I mean, football, dude, that's a bloodbath.
I got knocked around everywhere. All right, guys. Sean Mike is back. Same name as me. Let's do this. 100%, man. Yes, sir. Thanks for having me. Is this part two or part three? Part three, bro. Let's go. Yeah. A little three-peat.
A little three-peat, dude. Nothing wrong with a three-peat. What's new? You just went to the inauguration, right? The inauguration. How was that? I'd never been to one. You know, it's funny because it was unbelievable. It was unbelievable to see... You were there, right? I didn't. I left the day before. Okay. So... You pull up and you can't get within a mile because security and everything.
And I'm thinking to myself, how many people can be waiting outside? Because it's really freaking cold. And to see tens of thousands of people waiting in line. And you start talking to them. Because that was really cool. You're waiting in line and you're doing that. And we didn't have to wait in line. We were able to go around and get in. It was cool.
But inside, it was just like... It was an excitement. I think I like to... No matter who's there, who believes in what, I'm a big fan of... I like discussions. So I'd have gone no matter who, you know. Oh, you would have went if Kamala won? Hell yeah. There's some people like you would have gone. I'm like, dude, I like experiencing things. I don't have to be.
And you understand, while I voted for Trump, I'm all about what's happening in the country. I'm all about where we're going. I'm an entrepreneur, all that. would I have gone and celebrate it? But I like to see, I'm like to take all that shit in. I want to hear what people say. I'm not going to scream and yell and argue with them all day long, but I appreciate different opinions.
What I don't appreciate is people saying I can't have a different opinion because I appreciate your different opinion. I want you to appreciate mine. Yeah.
So I had never gone and I was going to go to experience either way. Now, in fairness, I knew Trump was going to win for a while now and I didn't know he was going to win in a landslide, but I knew he was going to win. So it made it probably easier for me to want to go. And obviously I was a hell of a lot more excited to go then. Oh, yeah. The energy there was. Oh, my God. The people.
But just to listen to people. You know, I was talking to a guy and I said, bro, why are you so excited? And he's like, this is the hardest four years of my life. And I said, why? And he said, I've been I've always been proud to be an American. And I felt like I was being told that I shouldn't be proud to be an American. And he's like, and I'm not a very confrontational person. Yeah.

Chapter 2: What insights does Shawn share from attending the inauguration?
Man, it's sad, actually, because, you know, at some point in time in your life, you just got to stand up, you know, and just sometimes it's taking an ass kicking. And then getting back up and going like, that sucked. Let me figure it out. Most everybody wants to avoid that their entire lives. Yeah. And then, I don't know, man.
I meet a lot of folks that are in different phase of their lives, you know, and in their 70s, 80s and later. And you're like, If they've not been through anything, man, sometimes you're like, how much did you experience? And it's kind of sad.
So I think if they could go back and stand up at the times, whatever the confrontation was, the fight, the difficulty, and not just become the victim, I think they'd probably change it. The pain of regret seems pretty nasty. Yeah, because you talked to a lot of elderly in your space, obviously.
Yeah, man, I did it as a social worker, and I did it on life insurance. But I met with a lot of folks as a social worker and, you know, me and your guy out there were just talking. He's like, I didn't realize how much wisdom I was going to get from people in this space because he deals a lot of, you know, elderly folks in his business. And it's true, man.
They've been through a lot, good, bad, or indifferent. And they're usually in a phase in their lives where they're like, they're done front and are lying. They're just kind of, they're not pretending to be anything. They're not. They're just like, here's what I've done in my life. Here's what I would probably do differently. Here's where I'm at.
And, you know, a lot of them, I think if they could have chosen to continue along that path, it would have been harder. I think they would have. Yeah.
That's cool though, to have that no regrets mentality at a younger age, right? It's like bliss, bro. Like it's the greatest thing in the world. Like you're going to make mistakes, but you've done everything you can do. and you don't back down from shit. You know, you never take a step backwards.
I think that's the, yeah, man, I think that's a, you know, I was an old football coach and that's why I love, you know, that's what, like, he was my linebackers coach. And he said, the only time you're wrong is when you're going backwards. Move laterally, move forwards. Your job ain't that hard. We ain't letting you cover nobody down the field. You ain't that fast.
Just hit this person, you know, but don't go backwards. I love that. 100%. Sports, poker, there's a lot. Like I was a distance runner and that mindset that I got from distance running to be able to endure running five, 10 miles a day. I mean, I use that every day at this point. Of course you do, dude.

Chapter 3: How has Shawn's mindset shaped his entrepreneurial journey?
It wouldn't have worked. Yeah, pre-social media, I don't think it would have worked. You're right. It wouldn't have worked.
Yeah. Brady would have worked for it. He got on with whatever product it was. He would have said something, but you wouldn't have known anything. Businessmen, women, you didn't know who they were. Your politicians, I mean, your president, but outside of that, you didn't know. How'd you know? If you watch the news and happen to catch one of them on the news and see something.
But other than that, you didn't see all this stuff live. I remember reading in elementary school about like Bill Gates. That's the only entrepreneur I knew. Correct. That's it.
And back then, those guys were walking everywhere you didn't know. You look at some of those old school videos back in the day, that was word of mouth. And you showed up at an event somewhere. Yeah. And got around them with 100 people. People are like, how did they get into that group? Dude, nobody knew about it. How did you find anybody? Because I think you take that for granted. 100.
100 what? 100 million. Think about that, dude. 100 million views. Yeah, it's nuts. That's the thing. If you really take a step back and go, that's insane. It's nuts, dude. Yes. And if you take how many people are in America? It'd probably be at least half if I had to look at that. Okay. So 50 million of them are from here in the States. Yeah.
And how many people live in the United States of America? 320 or whatever. So one in every six people has seen something you've done. And it's more than that because all the people are sharing. But think about it. Even if it was just that, if it was one in every hundred people, One in every six people. So when you walk around and people are like, they know who you are. That's crazy, right? Yeah.
That's crazy because a couple of years ago, especially when you were like, didn't want to leave your place. I know. I had agoraphobia. I couldn't even leave my bed. Which is like awesome you share it and awesome you're transparent about it. But it means any, dude, that's the whole deal. Like you are, anybody can do anything.
If an agoraphobic who don't want to leave their bed can get one out of every six people in America to watch something he's doing every single month. By doing what? Going to work, working your ass off, changing, getting uncomfortable, and just showing the fuck up. That's what I'm saying. I'm not doing anything special. I'm showing up, filming six episodes a day. It's just a work ethic.
There you go. But anyone could do it if they put their mind to it. Correct. But early on, when you're not getting 100 million views. Oh, I had to lose at first. Yeah, first six months, I was losing money. I was doubting myself. I was probably a month or two away from calling it quits.
