Behind Shawn French’s success was a mindset shift forged under pressure. Early in his sales career, anxiety and fear of failure nearly pushed him out of the industry and back to coaching baseball. One question from his boss about the example he’d set for his son forced a mental reset that changed everything. He rewired the beliefs holding him back, rose into the top 1% of sales, and built a thriving personal brand in his 40s. In this episode, Shawn breaks down the psychology of overcoming self-limiting beliefs and reveals the habits behind unstoppable success and personal development.
