  • 19. Freedom in Prison with Shawn Balva

    18 DEC 2023 · One of Shawn's longest traveled journeys was between four walls, in a place called 'prison'. In this episode Dassi speaks to Shawn Balva. Shawn was sentenced to 8 years in prison but instead of being confined, Shawn traveled further than ever before using his time within the prison walls to grow and inspire others too. In prison Shawn found G-d. Shawn, now a free man, continues to spread his message and inspire so many people. Shawn is a living example that there is no such thing as being stuck wherever you are. ___________________________________________ Buy Shawn's autographed book, Conviction on his website: https://www.shawnbalva.com/ Email Shawn at: lcheirut@gmail.com You can find Shawn on youtube, Instagram and other social media platforms. https://www.instagram.com/convict.ion/ _____________________________________________________ If you have questions or comments email me at: Dassi@livingopportunity.co Never miss an episode: Sign up here to get the podcast straight to you inbox and more! https://livingopportunity.co/bts/ Listen & subscribe to The Living Opportunity Podcast on all major platforms.

At age five, My family and I moved to Las Vegas where I was raised. I grew up playing football but eventually went down a path of drugs and crime. It was through my negative life choices that I was sent to prison at 21 years old to serve an eight-year prison sentence. But I didn’t allow the shackles of prison to shackle my soul. There, I became close to H-shem and to His Torah. I used my time only to exercise and study. I learned with the help of other inmates there how to study Gemara, read Hebrew, read Aramaic, and be able to study all forms of Torah books. Being a creative thinker, I put pen to paper in a very creative way. I inspired many people through my writings, being published in a few magazine articles, writing a book, and writing all sorts of Torah thoughts based on my confined situation. Now a free man, I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, continuing to live a Torah-observant lifestyle. I urge others, no matter their level in Judaism, to always have faith and trust in H-shem. With these traits, a person can make it through anything, even a place called “prison.”

When one lives opportunity they won't get stuck.
See, I used to always feel stuck.
Whether in my job or in other aspects I never moved forward the way I wanted to.

I knew I wanted to quit my 9-5 job as a designer. I knew there was more but the things I envisioned working out never actualized in the way I thought they would.

After a long but short journey I realized that life is an opportunity.
An opportunity to do you and to enjoy no matter where you are.
It's about rising to our full potential and playing our role.

This lead me to pivot from design to become a coach, something that aligned with who I was so much more.

Wherever you are there are going to be multiple opportunities. The key is taking aligned action and understanding that there is a greater plan.

Living opportunity is when one takes advantage and lives a life of meaning.
Join me here as we talk about personal development and coaching tools to live a purposeful life and how to do YOU.

In this podcast I interview people who have embraced a life of opportunity and make an impact playing their role.
