Shawn is a husband and father. He’s known across the interwebs for The Sweet Setup - a website centered on reviewing tech devices and software.

Shawn is a self-described nerd, but there’s so much more to Shawn than tech.

In fact, Shawn’s current focus is, well, focus.

He builds products and courses designed to help people do meaningful work instead of just talking about it, fretting over dreams that could be but aren’t, and enjoying life and the people we love, even when we’re chasing audacious goals.

In this episode, Shawn talks about:

  • His journaling practice
  • How he flipped the notion of writing a book on its head and, instead, created a product that could - and does - help people learn to change behaviors.
  • The difficult season in his life following his wife’s miscarriage.


Shawn Blanc put together this special offer for Reboots listeners interested in learning about the elements of focus.

Check out the guest post I wrote for Shawn outlining how "The Note" helped me tame self-doubt.
