In this episode, I talk with Shane Cradock. Shane has many roles. He is a Business, Life & Sports Performance Coach, a Consultant, a Public Speaker, a Playwright, an Author and a self-professed Messer!

From the very start of the conversation, we dived into interesting topics from Shane’s work life and personal journey. Shane very openly and honestly talks about some of the struggles and challenges he faced in his early twenties that changed his direction in life which has lead him to his life’s work of helping others.

In 1995, Shane had a change in direction and started to focus on doing what he enjoys, making an impact and taking action. Over the next few years, Shane worked towards leaving the corporate world and set up a practice in helping others.

Shane has become obsessed with learning and personal development ever since, improving his mental and spiritual awareness. He notes he’s spent over $300k on personal development over the last two decades.

Shane believes that we are only scratching the surface of what we can achieve and has had great experiences working with clients that have set outrageously big goals and visions and have realized them. The key is to give yourself the permission to dream.

Shane has released an updated version of his book called Inspire Me: Life Wisdom to Pass on! I was looking forward to him sharing some wisdom and 1% better practices that you could take onboard to help you improve and he didn't disappoint.
