Passion Where You Least Expect It, S6E54
Sometimes our calling isn’t our bliss. Sometimes our calling comes from seeing a need and filling it. Don’t be discouraged if you haven’t figured “it” out yet! Not to mention… it can and usually does change over time! Shaun (SF) Banks never could imagine working with kids or that by working with youth, his brands would reach people worldwide. Now, he is the publisher of the fastest growing kid's motivational magazine and a pioneer, blazing trails in the youth personal development and business fields. His knowledge comes from over 20 years experience in the field. He knows what works. He knows what he’s talking about. He is an expert in his field with the "success," and credibility to back it up. Growing up with a single mother who cleaned houses and buildings for some of the most wealthy and elite people in Seattle, WA, he was CHISELED to have a strong work ethic, pursue big dreams and help others.
