#178: YOU as an entrepreneur : a conversation with Shawn Nelson from LoveSac
Thu Dec 18 2025
In this episode of Meathead Hippie, I’m joined by Shawn Nelson, the founder of LoveSac and one of my favorite examples of what happens when creativity meets stubborn heart. We talk about how an idea born out of pure curiosity became a company that reshaped an entire industry—and what that journey actually looked like behind the scenes.
This isn’t a story of overnight success. It’s a reminder that your ideas matter, that your instincts are worth following, and that the little thing you’re tinkering with today could be the thing that transforms your whole life. Shawn brings so much wisdom for anyone building, rebuilding, or dreaming again.
