  • Authenticity back by Action

    The Determined Society has become essential in my listening queue. Shawn carries the trait of unshakeable honesty that is often hidden by so many. However, among that honesty is the best quality a host can have in such a heavy world. Rooted in positivity, his message comes across so relatable that I find myself returning week after week. Each episode leaves me feeling more grounded, inspired, and motivated to show up as a better version of myself. Stay determined.
