In his own words, Sean shares some of the things he loves.
Television
Super Soul Sunday- No show on television has ever had conversations like Oprah does every week on Super Soul Sunday. It's raw, real, enlightening, and always part of my Sunday morning ritual.
CBS Sunday Morning- Highlights the lives of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, but also shows a different side of the people we already know. Sunday Morning is a window into humanity, and journalism at its finest.
Modern Family- I've been a fan of this show since it started in 2008. It's funny, but also has a lesson to share with the audience in every episode. And it reminds us all of the importance of keeping your family close no matter how crazy they can be!
Saturday Night Live- What's there not to love about SNL? It's spontaneous and keeps me laughing the entire week.
Books
The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have by Mark Nepo- This is the one book I carry everywhere I go. It changed my view of the world, and provides me with a kick of inspiration every morning.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee- It taught me the power of empathy, which I believe is one of the greatest attributes anyone can have. “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
Daring Greatly by Dr. Brené Brown- Brené's research on vulnerability fundamentally shifted the way I live my life. Living an authentic life with an open heart is now my mission.
Quotes
"For in him we live and move and have our being." - Acts 17:28
One of my personal mottos. Anything is possible with God at our back.
“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” Joseph Campbell
So many people walk through life pretending to be someone else, when they could use that energy towards becoming the best version of themselves. That's the greatest privilege in life.
“When you know better, you do better” Dr. Maya Angelou
In one of my favorite teachings from Dr. Angelou, she reminds us that we can only move forward in life.
