177: Why Commitment Is Your Most Valuable Skill | Shawn Johnson & Andrew East

About this episode

Nick Bare discusses commitment and personal values with Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East and former NFL player Andrew East.

I sat down with my wife Stef, Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East, and former NFL player Andrew East to dig into their new book, The Courage to Commit. We talk about why this generation is running from commitment, how defining your family values creates real peace, the collateral damage that comes from being committed to the wrong things, what Shawn and Andrew learned about commitment after their elite athletic careers ended, and why the deepest joys come after, not before, you plant your flag and go all in.
