From D1 Athlete to Top 1% Podcaster - Bitcoin, Identity Crisis & The Lie About Success | Shawn French
Top 1% podcaster and high-performance coach Shawn French (@TheDeterminedSociety) joins Cypherpunk'd to demolish the myths of overnight success and external validation.
In this deep and raw conversation, Shawn shares his story of having a "full-blown identity crisis" after his D1 baseball career at LSU ended, and how he rebuilt his life by fixing himself first. He reveals the moment his mindset shifted—by changing his alarm clock from "Wake up, bitch" to "I love you, Sean."
We explore the parallels between his journey and the core principles of Bitcoin, discussing "proof of work" as a life philosophy, the power of delaying gratification (the marshmallow test), and why fiat currencies are designed to fail.
If you've ever tied your identity to a job, a follower count, or a blue checkmark, this episode is a must-watch.
