E296. Power of Persistence: Shane Keegan, Business Owner & Philanthropist

In this episode of PivotMe, April sits down with Shane Keegan, a powerhouse entrepreneur who transitioned from a modest upbringing in Ireland to becoming a successful CEO in America. Shane shares how he started setting ambitious goals at the age of 13, inspired by motivational figures like Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar. By the time he turned 30, he had checked off many of those goals—including becoming a CEO and moving to the U.S.

Throughout the conversation, Shane highlights the importance of consistency, discipline, and self-talk in achieving success. He also shares insights on navigating business relationships, embracing new experiences, and avoiding self-sabotage. A pivotal moment in his journey came after attending a Tony Robbins event, which fueled his passion for giving back—particularly through philanthropic efforts in the Philippines.

This episode is packed with actionable advice on goal-setting, personal growth, mentorship, and generosity—all essential tools for anyone looking to build success and impact others.
