Football season is back, and if there’s anyone who knows how to survive the sports world’s nonstop hot takes, online trolls, and outrage machine, it’s Katie Nolan.

In this replay from last summer, Shawn sits down with one of the most recognizable women in sports media for a hilarious, refreshingly honest conversation built around the Shawnism: “Eat Your Vegetables, Not the Garbage.”

Katie and Shawn get into why knowing who you are matters more than winning over the internet, why embracing your flaws can be a superpower, and how gratitude can help you keep your head when the critics get loud. They also tackle the pressure to live up to everyone else’s expectations and why real, human conversation is becoming a lost art.

Whether you’re navigating the sports media circus, building a business, or just trying to spend less time consuming other people’s nonsense, this episode is a timely reminder to focus on what actually matters. Because there’s plenty of garbage out there. You just have to be smart enough not to eat it.

What if it works? It’s a simple question, but it can completely change the way you approach your life.

This week Shawn sits down with actor, father, and recent Masked Singer finalist, Scott Porter, to unpack the mindset that has shaped Scott’s career: stop obsessing over what could go wrong and start asking what might happen if you simply say yes.

Scott shares how one unexpected beatboxing opportunity became a lightning strike for his career, why his mom’s advice that “worry is a useless emotion” still sticks with him, and why dependability and work ethic are two things nobody can take away from you.

Shawn and Scott also discuss why “What if it works?” doesn’t have to mean changing your life overnight. Sometimes it means making a little progress, learning a lesson, or avoiding a mistake. Oh, and Shawn finally gets an answer to the very important question: Is Kyle Chandler really that cool?

If you’ve ever talked yourself out of an opportunity because you were too busy worrying about what could go wrong, this episode might make you rethink your entire approach. Because what if it works?

Why is America getting sicker while spending more and more on healthcare?

Shawn Nelson sits down with Justin Mares, CEO and Co-Founder of Truemed, to unpack what Justin believes is fundamentally broken about the American healthcare system, from commercial incentives and regulatory capture to a system that may be rewarding the wrong outcomes.

But this conversation goes way beyond healthcare. Justin explains why obsessing over a problem might be one of the clearest signs you’re meant to solve it, why finding an assignment worthy of your life makes prioritization dramatically easier, and why commitment can actually create freedom.

They also get into why “flexible” spending accounts aren’t very flexible, three things Justin recommends cutting from your diet, and why the best problem solvers don’t just complain about what’s broken, they go looking for something worth fixing.

And at the heart of it all is this episode’s Shawnism: Understand the Assignment. Because before you try to win, make sure you actually understand what success looks like.
