#15 Don Shainis

Description

“Everyone has their own definition of what success means. And I’m still creating mine!”

Today's episode is with Don Shainis. I grew up with Don. He knows Dr. BeeWell from a very different time and it was amazing to catch up on his journey. Don is a professional MMA fighter who has spent time with Bellator and the UFC. His story is one of facing adversity with grit and perseverance. Some of these challenges have included having to convince his parents that there were no other careers that served him, breaking his neck after making his move onto the pro scene and having to rehab for an entire year, having to deal with a global pandemic five days before a title fight, moving to the midwest on a whim, and taking short notice bouts in the UFC and cutting 40 pounds in 5 days. THIS dude doesn’t quit…

Even more enjoyable than hearing about Don kicking ass and taking names is the constant growth that he is going through. He shared incredible insight with me about being present and doing what makes you happy. He is the epitome of being who you are and listening to his story is inspiring and motivates me to keep going, no matter what. So please join us for an incredible conversation where we go deep into the intimacy of not only fighting but life itself. The ultimate Giddy up.
