Ep 74 - Shawn Johnson & Andrew East: Blind Dates, The Olympics and Figuring Out What's Next


Listen Later

Calling all gymnastics fans! Paula is sitting down with one of the greatest of all time, Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson, alongside her beloved husband, NFL Pro Andrew East. Years after respectively going for the gold and signing contracts across the NFL, the dynamic (and so much fun) power couple is opening up about navigating a brand new season of parenting, business and life. 

Shawn and Andrew take Paula back to the early days of their relationship and the rocky blind date that left Shawn unsure there would ever be a second. Ten years, two kids, and one massive online following later, the duo has now found a shared calling in using all their muscle and might to champion families through family-centric storytelling. In this conversation you’ll find out how both pro athletes were able to figure out “what’s next” after doing one thing for so long, hear why their faith is the fuel to their partnership and learn why they say giving themselves permission to fail was the key to keep going and growing. Two words for this episode: Solid Gold!
