Summary

Since the beginning, life was particularly harsh with Shawn Harper; physically abused by his father, documented with four or five learning disabilities, kicked out of two schools for disciplinary issues, he was told not to play football because of his knee issues, and the list goes on. "Shawn, you're a loser, you're a failure, you're dumb, stupid" - he grew up hearing those kinds of things. Until one day, after receiving a phone call from a Junior College in Iowa, he told himself, "Yes, I don't have the education nor the elements needed to be successful, but I can win." 


Visiting us today is the inspiring Shawn Harper, former NFL, and NFL Europe player. He is a CEO, an investor, a husband, a father, an author, and a keynote speaker. Shawn is the President of American Services and Protection, Owner of Bridge Builders International, and Professional Speaker & Motivator. He is the creator of Shawn Harper Speaks, and he donates his time to several philanthropic endeavors. 


In this episode, we had an enlightening conversation about Shawn's incredible journey of self-improvement. He brilliantly explained the difference between being successful and a winner in life. We talked about the different ways of facing challenges in life and what can the average person do to be a winner. He spoke about rebranding success in our lives, competing against ourselves, and the difference between losing and feeling we are losers.


Tune in to Episode 90 of Rejuvenaging and listen to Shawn's unique perspective about winning, success, failure, and self-improvement.

  • How do you deal with getting back in touch with "the winner in me" after experiencing defeat? (16:29)
  • If somebody is a parent of a young child, any particular strategies or suggestions for how to instill this attitude? (21:11)
