Today’s guest is Shawn Butler, MBA Marketing Director at BYU Marriott School of Business.
Shawn’s story is one of resilience, purpose, and perspective. After losing his job at Home Depot, he built and sold a successful sports agency company, but when the buyout came, he felt a pull toward something bigger. That calling led him to BYU, where he now helps future MBAs chart their own paths.
In our conversation, Shawn shares:
🎯 Why how you make a million dollars matters more than making a million dollars
💡 The importance of focusing on who you’re becoming as you pursue success
🌎 His experience earning his MBA at Georgia State and raising a family in the South
🏔️ What ultimately drew him to leave his comfort zone and serve at BYU
This episode is a great reminder that career milestones are only part of the story—the real win is becoming the kind of person you want to be along the way.
