Sippin' With Shawn

A lot of people are complaining there isn't enough jobs on the market. But everywhere you turn places are short staffed and offering sign on bonuses. I think it has to do with people thinking that having a job makes that your career and I don't believe that to be true.

well just one movie and two series... but let's not nitpick. Enjoy and keep on sippin!

Instead of a live stream tonight (because of a gig I was scheduled for) I am giving you guys what would be a typical friday live stream styled show but pre-recorded. Enjoy and keep on sippin'!

Lots of controversy and opinions floating around about Simone Biles right now. I share my thoughts on it and a few other insights that pop into my brain. Keep on Sippin'

This is the story of the longest busiest working day I ever had as a musician and how I learned my limitations to how much I should book in a day compared to how much I can book in a day.

I share some insight being a professional musician and some personal stories involving booking and how a bad personality might prevent you from getting a gig or even being recommended in the future. I might do more episodes like this where I share stories of gigs, nights out and more. Enjoy and keep on sippin!

I go over a couple really cool gigs I have coming up and I go over a couple of interesting articles/tweets/posts that are worth mentioning. keep on sippin!

I talk about how politics is pulling apart our immediate families and even our close friend relationships. The topics should be avoided if it is far too polarizing and triggering. But we should be working on recognizing we have no control over most of these topics and separating ourselves personally from the topics. Mutual respect and understanding is lacking on all sides, and tribalism is ever so present in todays society. keep on sippin'...

I go over a few other updates from this past 4th of July weekend and share a pretty intense story about my drive home from the lake yesterday. It felt a lot like living in a Mad Max movie. Enjoy and keep on sippin'!

This video started off a little slow and distracting but we gave a solid movie review for the 1971 film "Snake People". This video was also filmed around the first video which was more focused on the history of the family cottage and the lake. So that is why it feels a little disjointed. Just enjoy the movie review and keep on sippin!
