· Despite their financial struggles and the collapse of their church community, Sean chose to take on the challenge.

· Sean had been involved in video work in a local church context for years before the crisis, providing a foundation for his later endeavors.

· Sean believes in having the mindset of playing the hand you're dealt with and counting blessings instead of fixating on limitations.

· He reflects on the delay of their dream to have children and relates it to the biblical story of Abraham, emphasizing that God's timing and plans may take decades to fulfill.

· Sean acknowledges the daily struggle with fear and worry but emphasizes the importance of routines and empowered states of mind to navigate challenges.

[37:01] Battling Chronic Pain and Entrepreneurial Challenges

· At 32, Sean started experiencing significant hand and wrist pain because he had been working extensively using computers since he was 19, often with poor ergonomics.

· He transitioned into full-time entrepreneurship around 2015 with the growth of Think Media.

· Despite the pain, he pushed himself to establish and expand his business, but the chronic pain affected his confidence and became a constant concern.

· Sean also turned to alcohol and cannabis to cope with the stress and success of his business.

[01:15:12] How Sharing Your Story on YouTube Can Make an Impact

· Many purpose-driven leaders have self-doubt when sharing their stories and making an impact.

· Sean believes the fear of being too late on YouTube is unfounded; the platform is still open to new creators who offer unique perspectives.

· Fear of gear and technology should not hold you back, as today's tools and platforms are user-friendly and accessible.

· Sharing your journey and documenting your experiences can lead to tax advantages when done with the intent of starting a business.
