My guest Dean Shackley (@deanshackley) and I share something special in common: we were both born with the same serious, congenital heart defect. Recently, Dean has been experiencing some issues with his condition and is scheduled to undergo open-heart surgery the day after Thanksgiving (2019) to replace one of his valves. But, that has not stopped him from helping others through him and his wife’s, Kelsey (@kelseyshackley), business! As you’ll hear in the episode, Dean and Kelsey have created a very successful business that allows them to not only work from home, but use their passion and story to inspire others to live a better, fuller life.
Take a listen above to learn how Dean is making a positive difference in the lives of many, even through his own challenges!
