On this episode of The Real Deal Conversations, Megan Deal speaks with Shawn Askinosie, a man who turned early-life trauma into a lifelong mission to help others. Shawn shares the heartbreaking story of losing his father at 14 and how that experience shaped his decision to co-found Lost and Found Grief Center, a nonprofit that has supported over 20,000 people.

But the story doesn’t stop there. Shawn also opens up about his bold decision to leave a thriving law career to pursue a spiritual calling that led him to create a chocolate company with a purpose, Askinosie Chocolate. From embracing transparency in business to building schools and supporting communities around the world, Shawn’s journey is a powerful example of resilience, reinvention, and making a global impact.

Tune in to hear an inspiring story of heartbreak, hope, and the power of purpose.
