Shawn invites Sharon Price John, CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop, onto the show to share her thoughts on the Shawnism "Book the Gig" — the idea that saying yes to opportunities you're not prepared for can be one of the most powerful decisions you make.
Sharon and Shawn discuss how embracing a “who cares” mindset, listening to your intuition, and acting on it can lead to remarkable growth. They talk about the tangible benefits of a “do the best you can” mentality, the magic of writing things down, and why vulnerability is often the key to inspiring others.
Sharon also shares the untold, “un-scrubbed” stories that have shaped her successful career, and how naivety and failure can actually propel you forward.
In the end, booking the gig isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about taking that first bold step.
