“When you get knocked down…if you can look up, you can get up. You get up, dust yourself off, and you get back in the game.”
– Shawn Harper
Shawn Harper (@shawnharper075) is a former NFL offensive lineman who played a total of seven seasons with the Rams, Colts, Oilers, and NFL Europe. He’s also the CEO of a multi-million-dollar security services firm headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.
But before he was blocking pass-rushers on an NFL field, Shawn was just a kid with a dream. In fact, he barely started in high school sports and played a total of one play his entire first year of junior college.
In our conversation, Shawn talks about the shift that took his game to the next level and how he applied that mindset to win in life and business.
