Welcome to a meathead hippie podcast. I'm your host, Emily Schramm. We're kind of entering the age,

if you haven't already, of everyone being an entrepreneur. And I say that really aggressively,

like that, whoa, wait, what? But think about it. If you think about really tapping into your

purpose and embodying who you are and waking up every day, loving what you do, in some way, you're going to have to come to terms with the fact that that means you're going to have to create something yourself.

Whether or not that pays you or sustains you or is your nurturance for your

family, for your life, that is all variable. And many conversations can happen about that because

it's a slippery slope sometimes when what you love becomes what you do for work. But regardless, there's an activation that happens as a creator, as an entrepreneur,

that I find to be the most magnificent journey that one can embark upon.

And so today I get to talk to a very successful entrepreneur, Sean Nelson.

In 1995, Sean Nelson had a fun idea, put together what I would say is the best beanbag in the world called a lovesack.

And now today, many, many years later, he is a public-owned, owned, public-owned company and is

crushing it. I mean, in so many ways, he's been through lots of humble passages,

lots of humbling passages, lots of initiations, lots of changes, ebbs and flows. They say that,

you know, every seven-ish years, there's a change in the company's ownership or there is a total

rebrand. And since he's been with his company for over 20 years, I mean, it's just incredible

to talk to someone with this much knowledge. And I think no matter

where you are coming from as a business owner, entrepreneur, creator, a listener of Meathead Hippie,

if you are inspired by me in any way and you yourself want to follow your heart in any way,

you're going to find so much value in this podcast because Sean has so much life experience

and he is so open and willing to share and I can't wait to hear what most lands for you

and what most resonates the takeaways please share. Before I get into the podcast, before I hit

Go, just a huge, huge thank you to Maui-Nui-Venison.
