In today’s episode, I had the privilege to interview Shawn Livingston. Shawn is a 10-year military veteran having served in Iraq during his time in the military. Having sustained a serious back injury while serving, he required long term use of narcotic pain killers to get through each day due to the intense pain he was experiencing as a result of the back injury.  Over the course of two years, military doctor’s continued to prescribe these meds to Shawn which resulted in him developing a severe opioid addiction. This is when everything began to unravel for Shawn in his life. After finishing his time in this military, Shawn’s life spiraled further downward. Feeling lost and displaced, he turned to heroin to ease his physical and emotional pain. It was this heroin addiction that led to his arrest and landed him in prison for a period of time on drug possession charges. Almost three years ago, Shawn was facing a 15-20 year prison sentence for drug possession charges, but in that very dark and desperate moment, he had the internal strength to turn his life around.  You’ll hear about his extraordinary journey and how physical activity, in particular running helped to transform his life. Shawn is now an up and coming ultra marathoner, motivational speaker and has devoted his life to serving others. It’s this service to others that has given him a clear sense of deep purpose in his life.  Shawn opens up about his life and his struggles in this episode, but also shares the amazing work he is doing with disadvantaged youth and with other military veterans who also struggle with opioid addictions.  Shawn’s struggles with heroin addiction and his transformation through ultra running will be featured in an upcoming documentary which is called Woke the Monster. You can find links to Shawn’s work and the documentary in the show notes of this podcast.  It was a genuine honor to interview Shawn. I hope you enjoy this episode with the inspiring Shawn Livingston.  Shawn’s Bio After the tragic events of 9-11, right out of high school, Shawn joined the air force. He felt so young and naïve at the time. After a tour of 4 years, he found himself sliding down a very slippery slope. After receiving several cortisone shots and opioid pain due to a back injury sustained in training, Shawn developed a severe addiction to narcotic pain killers. He knew that these powerful drugs were masking more than the physical pain he was suffering from.  After almost bring imprisoned on drug possession charges, Shawn turned his life around through ultra-running and now devotes his time to serving others. Although he doesn’t consider himself to be a motivational speaker, he now finds himself front and center on many stages sharing his story in order to help others.  He is passionate about the community of people he has met through running and has found a sense of belonging to this running community. He understands the need to step outside his comfort zone. He understands that addiction doesn’t discriminate. He now lives in Austin, Texas and serves others through his work with disadvantaged youth and other military veterans overcoming addictions of their own. Shawn’s life is being featured in an upcoming documentary entitled Woke the Monster.  Connect with Shawn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shawn.livingston.566 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iam_shawnlivingston/ Website: https://www.wokethemonster.com/ Themes Discussed:  Addiction, Emotional Trauma, Physical Activity, Purpose, Service to Others, Connection, Community A trailer to Shawn’s documentary can be found here:  https://vimeo.com/327282863

Today, I would like to introduce you to Shawn Livingston with Total Home Repair. Shawn is a great handyman, and he’ll give you a few tips on preventing wood rot and water damage. Want to sell your home? Get a FREE home value reportWant to buy a home? Search all homes for saleAs part of our ‘Vendors You Should Know’ series, I would like to introduce Shawn Livingston with Total Home Repair. Shawn is a great handyman and today, we’ll discuss a common issue facing many Georgia homeowners: wood rot. Georgia’s climate is very harsh on wood. If you don’t maintain the outside of your house properly, the sun will beat down on your home and flake the paint. Once the wood is exposed to the weather, water can set in and cause wood rot. In order to prevent wood rot, you need to maintain the trim around your windows by properly caulking the trim and joints. You should also make sure to paint your home on a regular basis to prevent water from getting into any cracks. Sometimes, fixing wood rot is very simple. All you have to do is take off the piece that has rotted and replace it. However, if you leave wood rot alone for too long, it can become a real problem. The entire window frame can get rotted and water can get into your home. If you leave wood rot alonefor too long, it can become amajor issue.Water damage is a common problem that Shawn sees in homes. If you don’t clean out your gutters, leaves will get stuck in your downspout, causing water to get stuck in your roof and in the eaves. Like wood rot, this is easy to prevent—just make sure that you clean out your gutters.  If you have any issues with your home, you can call Shawn at (770) 315-5917 or email him at TotalHomeRepairServices@gmail.com. He will come out for a free estimate and get your home into tip-top shape. As always, if you have any real estate questions, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
