In Episode 133 of The Reset, Shaun explores the million-dollar question: How long does it take to actually be successful? The answer isn't what you expect. Most people quit before they start getting results. They quit a moment before the breakthrough because they doubt it's ever going to come. In a world where it's never been easier to start something, it's equally never been easier to quit. The difference between one-hit wonders and juggernauts that last 20, 30, 40, 50+ years? Consistency over everything. Shaun breaks down why your market (people who buy from you) is different from your audience (people who consume your content), why commitment matters more than interest, and why you need to keep your shop front open even when there are no customers. The real question isn't whether you'll get results—it's whether you'll be consistent long enough to see them. This episode is for anyone sitting on an idea, anyone who's started but hasn't seen results yet, and anyone ready to stop being a passenger of their life and start being the architect of their legacy.

Key Insights:

Consistency is the difference between one-hit wonders and lasting businesses. Most people quit a moment before results arrive because they doubt it will happen. It's never been easier to start something, but it's equally never been easier to quit. Your market (committed customers) is different from your audience (interested consumers). Focus on attracting committed people, not just interested ones. Integrity and belief are as important as action. You need to keep producing even when there are no immediate results. The process of becoming the best version of yourself matters more than the destination. Commitment to yourself is more powerful than commitment to your audience.

Key Quotes:

• "Most people quit before they start getting results."

• "They quit a moment before the results come because they doubt that it's ever gonna come."

• "The longstanding businesses, the ones that have been around for 20, 30, 40, 50 years, are the ones that understand consistency over anything."

• "Your market is the people who buy from you. Your audience is just people who consume your content."

• "Focus on the people who are actually taking what you do so you can get more of those people."

• "If you're not getting any results, you're probably on the cusp of starting to get some results pretty soon."

Call to Action:

If you've been sitting on an idea for too long, if you've started but haven't seen results yet—keep going. Focus down the path. Most people quit before it turns into something. Don't be that person.

In Episode 132 of The Reset, Shaun sits down with Marjenne Verkleij, a transformative breathwork coach and business mentor who traded the corporate ladder for a life of freedom and presence. Marjenne's journey began with the realization that climbing the ladder—despite all the promotions and success—was leaving her stressed, panicked, and questioning her future. She quit her job, quit her apartment, and went to Italy to find out who she actually was and what she truly wanted. Now, after living in Italy, Brazil, and Mexico, she's helping entrepreneurs bridge the gap between high-stakes ambition and deep somatic alignment. In this episode, they explore: the permission you need to give yourself to pursue your dreams, the difference between burning the boats and playing with curiosity, how to move from fear to curiosity, the importance of celebrating yourself along the journey (not just at the finish line), the difference between doing and being, and why voluntary solitude (like a Vipassana retreat) can be transformative. Marjenne shares her tipping point—a moment of racing heart and panic in bed—and the wisdom she'd offer her suffering self: you don't have to live like this. There is another way. Get curious and trust that you will find your way.

Key Insights:

Your worst-case scenario is someone else's best-case scenario. Permission to pursue your dreams comes from within, not from others. Curiosity transforms fear into possibility. Celebrate yourself along the journey, not just at the finish line. The finish line is death—don't rush through life. Being is more important than doing in the modern world. Your body's evolutionary wisdom is smarter than your survival-driven mind. Voluntary solitude and retreat practices reveal what you're truly seeking. The feeling you're chasing should be created during the pursuit, not after achieving the goal. Most people are suffering in silence while performing success.

Key Quotes:

• "I have nothing to lose in terms of I already know what I have and how my future will look like if I continue this way."

• "What story do you want to share in fifty years from now?"

• "My worst case scenario is someone's best case scenario."

• "Making it cool to try. Making it fun that you're failing."

• "The finish line is death. Do you just wanna celebrate at the end and rush through life?"

• "You don't have to go through this. There is another way."

In Episode 131 of The Reset, Shaun explores how to find order within chaos. Every single level of chaos has a level of order—it's purely dependent on your perspective and perception. When you're overwhelmed, distracted, or struggling to be present, there are four things you can control. First: your breathing. Is it slow? Controlled? If your mouth is open, you need to slow down. Second: take control of the rhythm of your breathing—through the nose, out through the mouth. Try 4 seconds inhale, 8 seconds exhale to allow your body to catch up. Third: be aware of your posture. Your default posture reveals what your body is processing. Fourth: notice where the discomfort is in your body. These four tools interrupt the default pattern of reaction and allow you to pace yourself. You can only pace your breathing. You can only pace yourself. The body is smarter than you realize. Listen to its intelligence.

Key Insights:

Every level of chaos contains a level of order—it depends on perspective. You can control your breathing, the rhythm of your breath, your posture, and where you notice discomfort. Slow breathing allows your body to catch up to your mind. Extended exhales (4 sec inhale, 8 sec exhale) bring awareness and perception. Your default posture reveals what your body is processing. The default pattern is reaction; you must learn to pause and interrupt it. You can only pace yourself.

Key Quotes:

• "Every single level of chaos, there is a level of order."

• "How do you reach a new perspective or perception to find that level of order in the chaos?"

• "Your mouth open? It's probably an indicator that you need to slow down a little bit."

• "You can only pace yourself."

• "The body is quite smart. It's a lot smarter than you realise."

In Episode 130 of The Reset, Shaun explores the power of saying no. If you want to get more of what you want, you have to get better at saying no to what you don't want. If you're someone who likes to say yes to everyone and likes to please everyone, you will put yourself last—always. People pleasing is rampant. We're conditioned to care about what others think, to worry about their feelings, to consider the consequences of our words and actions. But when you say yes when you want to say no, you create resentment, regret, guilt, and remorse. No is a fully formed sentence. That's it. You don't need to justify it. You don't need to explain it. Be aware of what you want and what you want to do. Be blunt and direct. Say it out loud. Don't partake just because everyone else is. Be the black sheep. Stay true to your guns. Follow what your gut says, not what everyone else is telling you to do.

Key Insights:

If you want more of what you want, get better at saying no to what you don't want. People pleasing puts you last always. Saying yes when you want to say no creates resentment and negative emotions. No is a fully formed sentence—no explanation needed. Your needs matter as much as everyone else's. Be aware of what you want and communicate it directly. Don't say yes just to please others. Follow your gut, not the crowd.

Key Quotes:

• "If you want to get more of what you want, you have to get better at saying no to what you don't want."

• "If you're someone who likes to say yes to everyone and likes to please everyone, you will put yourself last always."

• "No is a fully formed sentence."

• "Be very aware of what it is you want and what it is you want to do."

• "Be the black sheep, stay true to your guns, and follow what your gut says."

In Episode 129 of The Reset, Shaun explores the difference between plans and goals. Plans break. Plans crumble. Plans never go 100% the way you thought they would. But your goal? Your goal stays the same. Shaun's plan was to attend a mastermind and work on his business. His daughter got sick. He changed the plan and cared for her instead—because family is his number one priority. This doesn't mean you can't get your things done. It just takes conscious effort, conscious focus, and letting go of what you can't control. The hard part isn't working hard; it's learning to slow down. You can't speed up until you slow down. You can't perform your best until you recover. When you learn how to rest and recover, your energy reserves replenish and you go through a rebirthing phase. Leave your work at work. Be present with your family. Don't forget the goal.

Key Insights:

Plans break; goals remain constant. Deviating from the plan doesn't mean abandoning your goal. Family comes first—everything else flows from that priority. You can still get things done while prioritizing what matters most. Conscious effort and focus allow you to adapt in the moment. The hard thing is learning to slow down, not working harder. You can't speed up until you slow down. Rest and recovery replenish your energy reserves. Compartmentalization allows you to be fully present in each moment.

Key Quotes:

• "Forget the plan. Don't forget the goal."

• "What plan in your mind or in your life has ever gone 100% the way you thought it was gonna go?"

• "You can still get your things done. It just takes conscious effort, conscious focus, and letting go of things you can't control."

• "You can't speed up until you slow down."

• "You can't perform your best until you recover from what it is that's holding you back."

In Episode 128 of The Reset, Shaun explores the paradox of ambition and burnout. You don't need more willpower or discipline—you need to learn how to rest. For years, Shaun chased a version of himself that required proving everyone wrong, achieving at all costs, and pushing harder. But there's only one destination on that pathway: death. Before that comes burnout and disease. The flame that burns twice as bright burns for only half as long. Death isn't the ending—it could be the beginning. It could be the death of the identity you've been holding onto, the one that needs to prove itself. Your body has limited energy. Your body always keeps score. If you can't outrun what you're reluctant to feel, and you can't outthink a feeling problem, then maybe the new strategy is learning to slow down. Your body is already telling you what it needs. You're just not listening through the noise.

Key Insights:

You don't need more discipline; you need to learn how to rest. The flame that burns twice as bright burns for only half as long. Your body has limited energy and capability. Burnout and disease come before death on the "winning at all costs" pathway. Your body always keeps score and holds onto baggage. You can't outthink or outrun what you're reluctant to feel. The new strategy might be learning to slow down. Your body is already telling you what it needs—you're just not listening.

Key Quotes:

• "The flame that burns twice as bright burns for only half as long."

• "Death is not the ending. Death could be the beginning. It could just be death of that identity."

• "Your body always keeps score."

• "You can't outthink yourself if it's a feeling problem."

• "Maybe the new strategy is to learn to slow down."

In Episode 127 of The Reset, Shaun challenges the popular "10,000-hour rule" and explores what actually makes someone masterful at a skill. Drawing from his background in sports science, Shaun breaks down the levels of competence: unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence. But there's a missing piece—true mastery requires being absolutely conscious and present, not just competent. You can raise kids, build a business, or master a skill while being completely absent. The real work isn't about hours; it's about precision, focus, and intentional practice. Skills are transferable—the discipline you develop tracking your food transfers to tracking business metrics. The key is refining and becoming more precise with every rep, every practice, every moment.

Key Insights:

The 10,000-hour rule is incomplete. Natural abilities and trainable aspects both matter. Mastery requires moving through levels of competence to unconscious competence. True mastery requires being absolutely conscious and present, not just competent. You can be excellent at something while being completely absent from it. Skills are transferable across domains—discipline in one area transfers to another. Precision and focus matter more than total hours. Feedback from those who've already mastered the skill accelerates your journey.

Key Quotes:

• "The more conscious effort and intentional practice I put into a skill, the better I get at it."

• "You can be very good at something and still be absolutely absent."

• "Skills are transferable."

• "It doesn't take 10,000 hours to get masterful at something. It takes a lot of precise, focused work."

• "Keep trying, keep practicing, and most importantly, just have fun while doing it."

In Episode 126 of The Reset, Shaun explores why we only celebrate wins and ignore our relationship with failure. Your relationship to failure actually dictates how you succeed.

Drawing from Carol Dweck's research on fixed vs. growth mindsets, Shaun shares his personal story of blaming his wife for taking a month off to get married in Singapore—a dream moment that revealed his fixed mindset. This episode breaks down the difference between fixed mindset traits (perfectionism, procrastination, sore loser mentality) and growth mindset (seeing failure as part of the journey). If you want to build a business that doesn't depend on you working 24/7, you need systems. If you want to win consistently, you need to learn to lose with grace.

Key Insights:

Fixed mindset keeps you stuck through perfectionism and procrastination. Growth mindset sees failure as part of the journey, not as a reflection of your worth. Your relationship to failure dictates your relationship to success. Being a sore loser damages your well-being and the people around you. Systems and delegation are how you build a business that doesn't depend on you. Learning to lose with grace makes you better at winning and more loved by those around you.

Key Quotes:

• "Our relationship to failure actually dictates how we succeed."

• "Don't get addicted to winning because you hate losing."

• "Learn to lose with grace and you'll get better at winning too."

• "If I want to run a business that is not determined and dependent on me, I need systems in place where I can take holidays."

In Episode 125 of The Reset, Shaun sits down with Christina Price, a breathwork facilitator and transformational mindset coach from Bozeman, Montana. Christina's life imploded in a single week—her husband went to rehab, her daughter entered eating disorder recovery, and another was away at boarding school. On the outside, they looked successful. Behind closed doors, it was chaos.

Christina discovered the missing piece: the nervous system. She built the Regulated Revolution, a 12-week immersion that regulates the nervous system first, so mindset work actually sticks. This conversation explores why rituals (not routines) matter, why your body is communicating with you, why rest isn't earned—it's essential—and how to bridge the gap between ambition and presence.

Key Insights:

Your nervous system attunes to frequencies from your childhood. You can't think your way out of a body problem.

Mindset work doesn't stick if your nervous system isn't regulated first. Rituals are intentional and resourcing; routines are unconscious and efficient. Your body has a finite reserve that doesn't replenish—you must conserve it. Rest is not a luxury; it's a necessity. Synchronicity happens when you're regulated and present.

Key Quotes:

• "You can't think your way out of your life. I've tried."

• "Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone." (Alan Watts)

• "It's not as scary as you think it's gonna be. Real repair is possible."

• "Be here today. Be in the present. Get into your body."
