Time Freedom, Money Freedom, and the 7-Figure Online Education Business That Did It | Shane Sams

#612 Ever wonder what it really takes to break free from comfort and build a life on your own terms? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Shane Sams — former school teacher turned motivational speaker and entrepreneur — to unpack the power of taking action and building freedom through business ownership. Shane shares his journey from a comfortable but unfulfilling teaching career to walking away after a pivotal moment with his son, and how he and his wife went on to build and sell a seven-figure online education business. He dives into why most people get stuck, the importance of dreaming bigger, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can change everything.
