Episode notes

Join us for a special episode of Johnny Manziel’s Glory Daze with Shawn Johnson & Andrew East, who graciously allowed us to record at their Nashville studio. This episode has a little bit of everything, but ultimately focuses on committing to yourself and how to get the most out of your life.

To kick things off, Shawn, Andrew, and Johnny talk about how they met on Fox's "Special Forces". They share about their time spent getting out of their comfort zone and how it created a unique bond between the contestants that could not have happened without the show.

Shawn and Andrew begin to dig into Johnny’s perspective about himself and what he has learned through the ups and downs of his life. With the release of their new book "The Courage To Commit" Shawn and Andrew share the inspiration for writing a story about commitment or lack thereof.

To finish out the episode, they each talk about the personal challenges they've overcome and how important it is to lean on others, cut those out who no longer serve you, and truly believe in your ability to create the life that you want to live. This episode is filled with valuable insights from start to finish that compels the listener to evaluate their lives and make the changes to get to where they want to be.
