On this episode, my guest is Nick Shaw. Nick is a bereaved dad, accomplished executive coach, author and speaker known for his profound insights into personal transformation, self-discovery, and authentic leadership. 

With the 2023 release of his debut book, My Teacher, My Son: Lessons on Life, Loss, and Love, Nick shares a compelling narrative about his experience losing his son, William, at just nine years old and offers a thought-provoking and supportive guide to help readers and audiences alike who hear Nick speak, embrace a more fulfilling and purposeful existence.

Nick and I enjoyed a frank yet poignant conversation about loss, vulnerability and the resilience within us all to withstand and triumph over any tragedy and personal suffering.
