The Shayna Show

There’s a moment in every dreamer’s life when the world seems to ask, “Are you sure?”

The job falls through, the plan gets messy, the timeline isn't working—and suddenly your vision gets lost.

That’s where today’s conversation begins.

Because if anyone understands staying committed when life gets crazy, it’s Patrick Dubois.

Patrick’s story doesn’t start with big risk. It starts with structure. For most of his life he built a steady career in corporate. And then, one day, he stepped off the ladder entirely and walked into the unknown: entrepreneurship. Not just one business—two. Including a venture in the wine industry he had no roadmap for, no background in, and, as he’d tell you, “no clue what he didn’t know.”

Starting was scary.
Everything was a challenge.
Nothing came pre-labeled.

But he had one thing—
He believed in himself.

He didn’t know the answers, but he knew himself.

And after this podcast, you'll want to too.

This is my pure response to my latest conversation with Gregg Clunis. So many of you have asked for my personal thoughts, so here it is. I was so nervous at first. But when I stopped worrying and sat myself behind my microphone, this is what came from me. This is me straight talking from my heart. No notes. No conclusion ready. Just me. 

So, thank you to all of those that have asked for this and for pushing me outside of my comfort zone.

From an immigrant to an entrepreneur with over a million downloads on his podcast, Gregg Clunis knows about sacrifice and perseverance. After getting accepted into college, subconsciously, he made it his mission to repay his parents and prove to them that their hard work was worth it. His life was soon defined by what he produced, tying his value to his productive output. We stop and read over this sentence as if we aren’t doing it ourselves. Because if we took a moment. To ask ourselves what we value ourselves on, what would the answer look like? 

Gregg uses his journey through success to bring insight to the world, guiding us through common beliefs we have surrounding happiness, success, and quitting. 

How would your life shift if you saw success as something you go through, not something you reach? 

Take a listen.

“Why does it matter to me? Because I was told it should matter to me.” A defining moment in Gregg's life when he realized he had been told what to value. His voice was a collection of others. So where was his?

Podcast host of Tiny Leaps Big Changes, entrepreneur, and author, Gregg Clunis, harnesses his inner voice to direct his life. He dives into the running question of, “What do I want?” with a strong stance. Because with a knowing of oneself, the question becomes freeing instead of limiting. 

We claim we make decisions for ourselves but we do not even know who we are. We are afraid to spend time with ourselves. But being able to hear your own thoughts and desires is insanely valuable. It is the defining moment of either life running you or you running life. 

“Why am I working so hard?”

“What is it that I am trying to work towards?”

This is not some philosophical topic. In order to reach yourself, you need to spend purposeful isolation with yourself. And this isolation doesn’t mean by yourself, but means with yourself. 

So stand with yourself and create the life that stands by your beliefs and values.

“If you are going to create a false future, why not create one that is successful?” 

We want to be a movie director yet we don’t believe we will make it. We even go to the extend of finding reasons why we don’t make it. But if you are going to create a future, why not create one where you make it as the greatest director ever to have touched Netflix?

“What kind of life do you want to live?” 

We don’t answer it. We skip the question. As if it holds no weight to us. As if we hold no weight to it. But this question changed the trajectory of Charity Youngblood’s life. It put her in the driver’s seat. It planted a seed of opportunity. The opportunity of choice. Now she can choose. Now she can say:

“I am the creator of my life.”

And she didn’t just understand it, she believed it.

Perfectionism is not the need to be perfect. It's the refusal to let yourself move ahead. Reread that. 

We create this idea of perfect so that we don't have to move forward. Because if our resume was perfect, we'd have to submit it. If our art piece was perfect, we'd have to send it to market. We'd have to take the next step in our life. 
 
We'd much rather blame our inability to act on perfectionism. Telling ourselves this narrative of "I'm setting a high standard" or "It has to be right." Rather than saying, "I'm afraid of the next step." 

So, recognize in your life where you are waiting for something to be perfect. Recognize. And then let yourself move ahead. Take that next step.

Dana Shepple is the founder and owner of multiple businesses. As a child, she was sexually-abused and became a full-blown meth addict at 15. But she's never had the victim mentality. After high school, she worked as a Starbucks manager and when she was told her raise would be capped at 25 cents a year, she knew she had to make a change. She had been living her life for everyone else up until this point. 

Dana teaches us to ask ourselves, "What do I want?" and to really sit with our answer. She also tells us to stop running. From ourselves. And why it is one of the most important practices to learn in life.

Moving back home. Getting a service job. What do these actions feel like a failure? Why do we accept these social norms as ones that we should live up to? Yet, we personally might not even believe them. So if we don’t believe that moving back home it a failure, why are we living our life like it is? 

We’ve been trained away from trusting ourselves. We’ve been trained away from knowing what we want. Because we are not asked to. 

But, we ultimately do know what we should be doing. If we allow ourselves to know. Know that you are your best input. Believe that you are the greatest navigating tool. And then live your life how you want. No more asking others for what they think we should be doing. And more of asking yourself.

"I just kept showing up," Brad Pomerance. During his climb up the media ladder, he found ways to keep moving forward. He looked for reasons. Not excuses. 

As a boy, he wanted to be a politician. So naturally, he migrated to law. He then graduated from George Washington University Law School and worked for a judge out of college.  He soon realized life was moving him into media- specifically interviewing elected officials. Now, he is the host of a global travel television series called, "Air, Land, and Sea" and is the host and producer of the television show, "Uncovered in the Archives." 

Brad shows us what it is like switching careers. He shows us what not settling looks like. He made bold moves to get where he is and we get to be there right beside him as he tells his story.
