Hitting Your Income Goal Can Quietly Destroy You With Shawn Pollard | EP 21

A $39 course. A guy with 400 YouTube subscribers. A garage in Oklahoma during Covid. That is where a multi eight figure business started, and Shawn Pollard was the man behind the curtain who made it happen. After 21 years running flagship car dealerships and earning $300K a year, Shawn lost nearly everything to a six year battle with addiction that burned through $700K in savings. Eight months into sobriety, he found a sales trainer nobody had heard of, quit his job, moved his family across the country, and helped build one of the most recognizable personal brands in the sales training space.What makes Shawn different is what he learned on the other side. He will tell you that your marriage is the foundation of your business, not the other way around. He asked his wife one question that changed everything, and her answer broke him open. If you are a man building something and your home life is falling apart, this episode was made for you.Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (05:07) His Son's Emergency Heart Surgery(10:54) Six Years Lost to Addiction(20:00) 51 Days in Oklahoma Building From Zero(30:52) Changing Your Language Changes Everything(41:19) "Am I Your Dream Man?"
