Mick Unplugged
Standards Over Goals
Shawn contrasts standards with goals, explaining standards become identity and sustain progress during the journey.
Shawn French is a speaker, coach, and podcast host whose life and brand are built on resilience, discipline, and unyielding determination. Drawing from overcoming personal adversity and healing childhood wounds, he has transformed his journey into a mission to inspire and push others to stop negotiating with their greatness.

Takeaways:
-
Standards Over Goals: Success is rooted in maintaining personal standards, not just chasing goals. Standards become your minimum expectation and shape who you are during the journey.
-
Discipline is Freedom: The daily commitment to mundane, consistent habits grants true freedom and peace of mind, allowing individuals to move forward with zero regrets.
-
Embrace the Mundane: Lasting impact and achievement come from relentlessly executing the unglamorous, everyday tasks—even when motivation is low.
Sound Bytes:
"If it feeds the mission, then eat it, then go for it. But if it moves you further away from your goal, retreat. Don't do it."
"You have to be able to drop the walls and take that ego... I have to be vulnerable in this moment and admit that I didn't perform because of me."
"Discipline is freedom. Because when you act on that, there's nothing anyone can say... You have earned that moment no matter what."
