Show Notes

After 16 years producing hit shows for MTV and E! News, Shannon Russell made the bold decision to stop "producing for others"—and start producing her own life. In this episode, Shannon shares how motherhood and a brutal commute sparked her pivot from the entertainment industry to becoming a successful entrepreneur and CEO of Second Act Success® Coaching. Now a business coach, speaker, and podcast host, she helps women craft fulfilling second acts and launch purpose-driven businesses.

We dive into Shannon’s career journey, how she overcame the fear of change, and why it’s never too late to reinvent yourself. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a career that doesn’t light you up, this conversation is your sign to consider a second act of your own.
