08: Shawn Leatherwood | How Passion and Strategic Thinking Helped Me Chalk Up One of My Most Incredible Business Wins

In today’s show, Bill Gilliland interviews Shawn Leatherwood, owner, The Architectural Studio. Shawn and his team provide architectural and interior design for vacation homes in the $2 - $4 million range.

We start today’s show with Shawn sharing his interesting backstory. Apart from architecture, Shawn’s second (or maybe first) love is long-distance running. In fact, Shawn shares that he got into architectural college on a cross-country scholarship.

In this first segment of the show, listeners will learn the importance of passion and focus. 

If you are passionately focused on a few subjects as opposed to many, the chances of success increase many-fold. We also draw some interesting parallels between athletics and business in this segment of the show.

In the later part of the show, Shawn goes on to share some interesting details about his firm, The Architectural Studio.  

Along with passion and focus, we also discuss the importance of knowledge. With regards to knowledge, you will learn why it is important for you to have a telescopic view of your business while dealing with the daily minutiae. 

Shawn also shares why he is striving to create a long-lasting legacy through his business. 

In the last segment of this show, Shawn reveals the progress he has made after hiring Bill as his business coach.  You will learn how having a well-meaning mentor who is “outside looking in” has helped Shawn double his business over the past few years.

We hope you enjoy this show!
