Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Shawn Richardz. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Shawn , we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
I have been given the amazing gift of resilience from having the DNA of my parents and being born in New York City. My belief is anyone born in New York City, has no choice but to be resilient.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
Hello I’m Shawn, a multi-hyphenated creative talent who loves every aspect of entertainment. I am an Actor who also is a Voice Talent, my voice has appeared in; Commercials, Documentaries, Podcasts, Live Radio, Audio Dramas, and Animation. I have always been naturally curious about everyone and everything, that lends to me being an Entertainment Host which has steered me on the red carpet, to being a news personality and being a pop culture panelist. Performing is something I do professionally and passionately.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The three qualities that were and still are extremely impactful in my creative professional career are: Resilience, Openness, and Patience. The commitment to always learning and being self reflective is what I tell folks about any creative career they decide to embark on.
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
Whenever I feel overwhelmed I meditate whether its for 2 minutes or 2 hours.
