from Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew · host Shawn Johnson + Andrew East

In this episode, we’re talking about OUR NEW BOOK!! After years of conversations, ideas, and believing in this project, our book is finally coming out June 9 and you can pre-order it now! https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-courage-to-commit-shawn-johnson/1148323652 We briefly discuss the overlying topic of commitment and why it’s so hard, why it matters, and what happens when you decide to truly stick with something. We’re also incredibly excited because we’ll be going on a book tour to celebrate the launch. We’ll be traveling, hosting events, doing interviews and press, and most importantly, meeting so many of you in person!!!
