Comfort Via Discomfort

Real People. Real Stories. Real Vulnerability. The CVD podcast features stories of how people from around the world have gotten to where they are today. We strip down what we can see about them online to really understand what happens behind the scenes. We talk about the challenges, triumphs, traumas, and experiences that have shaped who they are today and contributed to what they've accomplished. We dive deep into understanding how they've embraced discomfort and vulnerability throughout their lives, how they've built the confidence to live authentically, and what advice they have for someone that either feels stuck in life or simply wants more. These episodes are meant to inspire you to build the life of your dreams one step at a time and to show you that you're not alone in your struggles. No matter where you are in life, even if you feel totally stuck, you can take a step forward and change anything you want by leaning into discomfort and vulnerability. The only way to be comfortable is to be uncomfortable first.

EP 044 - I was knocking on 200 doors a day to make my dreams come true w/ Sean Penhale

July 31, 2023 • Adam Boismier • Episode 44

Welcome to EP 044 of the CVD Podcast!!

When Sean recently told me that he was legitimately living his best life, I was super excited to get him on the podcast to dive into how he's really gotten to this point in his life. I already knew that he had been through a lot, and I was looking forward to learning even more about him and sharing his story with all of you.

I strongly believe that sharing stories like this can help us all when it comes to going after our dreams despite the challenges that we will inevitably face.

Sean is the Owner and President of a financial firm in Windsor, Ontario called Spectre Financial. He is extremely passionate about helping other people and families get their finances straight so they can do the things they really want to do in life. He also recently got married to the woman of his dreams and I couldn't be happier for him.

It hasn't been an easy or straightforward path for Sean to get to where he is, and I am so grateful he's willing to share his story so openly and honestly with me and with all of you.

In this episode, Sean talks about:

Growing up as a competitive athlete
- Developing his work ethic from a young age
- Competing in Canada and the US
- His parents choosing to financially support his athletics over his siblings
Finding his uncle after he died by suicide
- The situation before his uncle took his own life
- Seeing regret in his uncle's eyes when Sean found him dead
- How this changed Sean's perspective and path in life
Moving from Calgary, Alberta to Windsor, Ontario to pursue his dream
- Why such a big move was necessary and what the transition was like
- Why he was knocking on 200 doors a day
- How this led to him owning his own firm
How unconditional support from a partner can make such a huge difference
- What it means to him to have built a relationship with his wife
