About this episode

Season 2 of the Let Me Save You 25 Years podcast is officially here, and Shawn D. Nelson is back to bring you some brand-new, life-changing Shawnism’s each week. 

This week we start with a hard truth that many of us have to learn: Business is a contact sport. 

Shawn sits down with CEO, author, investor, and one of the biggest personalities on the net, Gary Vaynerchuk, to discuss why success in business is not for the weak. It’s hard, takes sacrifice, and comes with a lot of bumps and bruises along the way. You, along with your team, will fall back and stumble forward, but it’s this sort of journey that separates the committed from the opportunists. 

Shawn and Gary talk about their own professional pains that they’ve encountered, collateral damage that you often can’t shield your team from, and why the highest highs often come after the lowest lows.
