Transition from banking to entrepreneurship Shawn describes his career path, starting in banking and then transitioning to the mortgage industry before discovering SendOutCards and the Gratitude Movement. He shares how the flexibility and passion of entrepreneurship appealed to him after feeling stuck in a comfortable but unfulfilling banking career.

The Gratitude Movement and its impact Shawn discusses the origins and mission of the Gratitude Movement, which aims to encourage more genuine expressions of appreciation and thankfulness. He explains how this resonates with people globally and how it has transformed his own business approach to be more focused on adding value through kindness rather than just making sales.

Implementing the Gratitude Movement in business Shawn discusses practical ways for businesses to incorporate the Gratitude Movement, such as using SendOutCards to send personalized cards and gifts to clients. He explains the different service packages available and how to leverage virtual assistants to streamline the process, while emphasizing the importance of a genuine, non-transactional approach.
