About this episode

In this episode, Shawn and Andrew discuss their book tour conversation with ghostwriter Jimmy Soni, covering writing styles, parenting, and relationships.

What's up, everybody! Welcome back to Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew! This episode is extra special — we're sharing our live conversation from the book tour with Jimmy Soni the incredible ghostwriter and third author behind our new book on commitment. Jimmy has spent 15 years writing biographies and bestsellers — from Cato the Younger, to "The Founders" (the origin story of PayPal), to his upcoming book on Kobe Bryant. We talk about how our three very different writing styles collided (and somehow worked), the hardest parts of spending three years turning our lives into a book, and the surprising story behind our chapter on love. We also open it up to a live Q&A covering: Raising kids in youth sports without burning them out What sports really teach you about life and teamwork Advice for newlyweds and long-distance relationships Navigating modern dating outside the apps How parenting has changed (and challenged) who we are Prioritizing marriage, family values, and friendship Grab our book and follow along as we open up more than ever about commitment, marriage, parenting, and everything in between! - https://amzn.to/4vWeLWy ◼️ Right now, listeners can get up to $200 off…
