Shawn Anderson – Going The Extra Mile – Episode #18

Shawn Anderson is a writer and national speaker on the topic of “possibility thinking and creating opportunity.” Referred to by media outlets across the country as the “Extra Mile Man,” Shawn has a life mission of empowering 1,000,000 people to lead a more positive and purposeful existence.

Endorsed by leaders across the country, Shawn established “November 1″ as “Extra Mile Day” in 22 cities and states across the country.
