Sometimes safety nets don’t just hold you back—they quietly pull you under.

This week Shawn sits down with actor, writer, and producer, David Dastmalchian, for a conversation about the Shawnism, “Ditch the Safety Net.”

Shawn and David explore the power of burning your life-raft, the surprising honesty that comes when you have no choice but to move forward, and the importance of the messages and messengers that show up along the way. David also opens up about walking away from the destructive crutches in his life, and why “safe” often isn’t safe at all—it’s just an illusion.

From David’s concept of a holy pause, to why letting go is the only way to be truly present, this episode is about going all-in—and discovering who you really are when there’s no way back.
