Episode 5: Shawn Alladio, world class human

Or Listen Via

Ever wondered if a 50 year old mother of two could do a man's job? Listen in as we talk with Shawn Alladio, world class PWC rider (Jetski for the uninitiated), big wave rescue specialist, and all around tough human. Shawn talks about big waves, heavy threats, and what it feels like to pull a man out of a burning car. Shawn is one of our favorite people, she doesn't pull any punches "If you're not eating Paleo Treats then you're f-ing stupid", and when she sees a problem she wades in and gets down to business. She doesn't let anything stop her and she has a way of describing the world that is at once completely foreign and yet totally matches with our own intuition. While this is one of our longer podcasts we think it's worth every minute. Go ahead, have a listen!

Woman of the decade! Give that woman every ounce of your attention and credit. She’s real….R..E..A..L.. Like no other woman is!

When Shawn was describing saving that guy from the burning car, I was on the edge of my seat. Then when she said his mom gave her that family heirloom and it is hanging on her wall…man tears just ran down my face.

Really awesome podcast…really awesome thank you.

Yeah, I just listened to that again and got the same feeling. Shawn’s a pretty amazing woman, eh?
