Sharon, Shaun's mom had 2 kids and was living in subsidized housing when she started her janitorial business in the CD, central district of Seattle, WA. People laughed and were critical of her because she was 'cleaning houses' but mother knew best. Lots of drugs and crime hit their neighborhood in the 1980's and she knew she had to make a living to get her kids out of that neighborhood.Mom's dream was greater than her pride" says her son. "Mom had a dream and she didn't want my sister and I living in this neighborhood," Shaun says with such high esteem for his mother.The 'drugs in the neighborhood' conversation was a regular occurrence. Shaun and his sister regularly had the 'safety' conversation with their mother. Mom told us , "once the street lights go on, you have to be off the streets. It's not safe."Mom was unstoppable and Shaun has a very special story to tell about his mom and a prominent drug dealer in the community. It's a very touching and ironic story of trust.1991-1992 Sharon and her son Shaun picked up moved to the Atlanta, Georgia area. Mom and dad had never married and they realized it wasn't going to work out long term, so Sharon was determined to relocate with Shaun and join her daughter in Georgia attending college. Miss Mayweather, their guardian angel, helped them get set up in her home after their rental property was roach infested.Shaun speaks so highly of his mom. Throughout so much adversity, Shaun says "they never lacked anything", we were always covered and protected." "My mother was so resourceful, she never gave up" continues her son."Mom is the cook at Camp Warrior King, the camp that Shaun and his mom started for kids in the Atlanta metro area. The kids loved the food because Sharon was the cook. These kids love all of these 'all you can eat' meals, often the only meal they have all day. Some of the favorites are fried chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits, green beans or breakfast for dinner or Italian day, the list goes on and on.Shaun is an entrepreneur, just like his mother. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Because of Sharon's education background, she was an ideal partner for Shaun to start up this wonderful camp."Honeybee" is Shaun's nickname for his mother. "She reminds me of a bee-always buzzing around." Shaun lovingly brags "the kitchen at camp is called "Honeybee's Kitchen."*CAMP WARRIOR KING-Youth development program to expose kids to things they'd never experience throughout the year *THE I AM DEFENSE INSTITUTE*TEAM HOTT SAWCE*THE YOUTH CONFERENCEAll of the above motivational programs are in the Atlanta, Georgia area.https://linktr.ee/Sfdreamsbig?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareShaun is the author of the book: "Persevere Overcome Win: SuperPOWers That Will Give Your Child The EDGE In Life" "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives.

This week's adventure is taken in the company of Shaun “SF” Banks, the creator of Camp Warrior King which helps thousands of youths in the metro Atlanta area gain exposure to activities they would not normally have. He has been working in youth and personal development for nearly 15 years and is the founder of the You Can Have It All youth conference and magazine, he is the author of three books, ‘Persevere, Overcome, Win’, ‘Raising Extraordinary Kids’ and ‘Be Unstoppable Living Life’. Shaun and Taylor talk about what it means to start your own business, how to find what you’re passionate about and turn that into a life that you choose for yourself and how to help kids with things like influence, exposure and confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS I never had a passion to work with youth at all, I wanted to work in business. But I noticed there was such a big need for youth to be developed. You always think there’s all these programmes to help kids but there wasn’t in the 2000s, so I thought maybe there’s a way to do both, to be able to make a good living and help people in the process. My Aunt and Cousin were murdered in a domestic violence situation, and I always wanted to do something in their honour. 10 years after they were murdered, I set up the I AM Defense Institute in their honour. That led me to all the other businesses, initiatives and books, so I’ve been busy! A lot of times kids won’t want to try something new because they’re afraid. What usually happens is they try it, realise it’s great and they’re going to have a good time. Sometimes you get that from the parents, because they haven’t tried the activity (horse riding, spelunking, shooting) so we ask the parents to come with us and participate which builds up a community and promotes quality time to spend with their kids. Society says that you should have a six pack and muscles, but if you’re not that guy in your head and you go to the beach you wear layers because you’re uncomfortable in your own skin. But you look down the beach to a guy that’s as big as a whale with his shirt off, laid back and having a ball! He’s enjoying life because he could care less about what society thinks he should look like. That guy is being unstoppable living life. Take your shirt off and you’ll notice no one really cares and isn’t going to judge you because they’re worried about themselves. I’ve used anger to give me the fuel to write one more paragraph, cut one more page or analyse something else. There are ways to channel it, to give you a push. But I don’t know if that's always the best way. To build something while being excited is much better, especially to sustain in the long-term. BEST MOMENTS ‘A couple of years after starting my first business I had my first child and that was a life-changing experience for me.’ ‘The ultimate motivation is happiness. It means different things to different people, but it’s universal.’ ‘When a child understands the working of a firearm they’re less likely to be curious about it and hurt themselves or someone else.’ ‘Success is relative. So you should determine what it means to you, you pick the elements you want to go after and live those things. That’s being unstoppable living life.’ ‘Don’t dwell on things people did wrong to you, they probably don’t remember, they’ve moved on, you haven’t.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Adventures Of Self Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.adventures.of.self/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The.Adventures.of.Self ABOUT THE GUEST Shaun “SF” Banks grew up with a single mother who cleaned houses and buildings for some of the most wealthy and elite people in Seattle, WA.

Joining me today is S.F. Banks, who is doing phenomenal work in our community with our youth. In 2007 he opened up an I.M. Defense Institute, which shows women and men how to defend themselves from attackers. He also has a youth program and is a creator of Camp Warrior King, exposing youth to upbeat, fun activities. In addition, S.F. founded You Can Have It All, a youth conference, and the accompanying You Can Have It All youth magazine. Lastly, he created Team Hot Sauce, a cartoon storytelling platform for youth.Overcoming Your PastSF is a big believer in taking the pains from your past and making those into the beauty of your future. “Let those things that you've overcome, fuel you towards your future.” Having two aunts - one that was murdered by her husband, along with murdering their child (his cousin), and another aunt who suffered severe brain damage from her husband, S.F. is on a mission to help women defend themselves as a result of these experiences he had as a child. “I still have a toy of my cousin JoJo's in my truck that I keep to help me remember my purpose.” His cousin's truck is a constant reminder of how he can help keep one or more children from the same situation that his aunts went through. Listen in to find out how S.F. started his journey with the I.M. Defense Institute over a decade ago, an example of a client who could protect themselves as a result of his program, and how he provides food and shelter to the children he supports in the African orphanage.Resources MentionedJoin Me on Speak Loud PlatformSpeak Loud Podcast on the webFind SF Banks on the webSpread the message of Speak Loudly Podcast and share this episode with a friend!***Disclaimer: All content found on Speak Loud Podcast, including text, images, audio, or other formats were created for informational purposes only.

Sharon, Shaun's mom had 2 kids and was living in subsidized housing when she started her janitorial business in the CD, central district of Seattle, WA. People laughed and were critical of her because she was 'cleaning houses' but mother knew best. Lots of drugs and crime hit their neighborhood in the 1980's and she knew she had to make a living to get her kids out of that neighborhood.Mom's dream was greater than her pride" says her son. "Mom had a dream and she didn't want my sister and I living in this neighborhood," Shaun says with such high esteem for his mother.The 'drugs in the neighborhood' conversation was a regular occurrence. Shaun and his sister regularly had the 'safety' conversation with their mother. Mom told us , "once the street lights go on, you have to be off the streets. It's not safe."Mom was unstoppable and Shaun has a very special story to tell about his mom and a prominent drug dealer in the community. It's a very touching and ironic story of trust.1991-1992 Sharon and her son Shaun picked up moved to the Atlanta, Georgia area. Mom and dad had never married and they realized it wasn't going to work out long term, so Sharon was determined to relocate with Shaun and join her daughter in Georgia attending college. Miss Mayweather, their guardian angel, helped them get set up in her home after their rental property was roach infested.Shaun speaks so highly of his mom. Throughout so much adversity, Shaun says "they never lacked anything", we were always covered and protected." "My mother was so resourceful, she never gave up" continues her son."Mom is the cook at Camp Warrior King, the camp that Shaun and his mom started for kids in the Atlanta metro area. The kids loved the food because Sharon was the cook. These kids love all of these 'all you can eat' meals, often the only meal they have all day. Some of the favorites are fried chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits, green beans or breakfast for dinner or Italian day, the list goes on and on.Shaun is an entrepreneur, just like his mother. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Because of Sharon's education background, she was an ideal partner for Shaun to start up this wonderful camp."Honeybee" is Shaun's nickname for his mother. "She reminds me of a bee-always buzzing around." Shaun lovingly brags "the kitchen at camp is called "Honeybee's Kitchen."*CAMP WARRIOR KING-Youth development program to expose kids to things they'd never experience throughout the year *THE I AM DEFENSE INSTITUTE*TEAM HOTT SAWCE*THE YOUTH CONFERENCEAll of the above motivational programs are in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
