Shanna Dickerson is a special human with a heart of gold and a drive like not many others. We feel lucky that our paths crossed once as neighbors, but even luckier that our paths crossed again in a way that bonded us together for a lifetime. After working in the music and event industry with some of the Nashville greats, Shanna founded her own company called Blue Sky Luxury Concierge, where she helps plan and execute high-end, luxury vacations in the islands… the kind most of us just dream about. This episode is full of laughter, advice, and stories, and ends with us telling the story for the very first time on air about our adopted, double-hurricane-survivor fur baby, Rico, from Puerto Rico.

Connor Gillivan is no stranger to GSD’ing. As a lifelong entrepreneur, he knows that success takes hard work, creative thinking and lots of hustle. In his own words, he’s a freak for building businesses, reading entrepreneurship books, emulating entrepreneurial icons, and networking with similarly passionate people. He’s goal-driven, a strong visionary, cause-focused, and a great leader to his team.
Connor also has a serious and curious passion for the world that we’ll create in the future. He’s a voracious learner as he does things like staying up to date on 3D printing, the science of teleportation of physical objects, and water delivery solutions to impoverished areas in 3rd world countries. How many of us can say those are things we were focused on at 28 years old?? He says that by the time he puts his head to rest, he plans to have made a significant impact within each. We can learn a lot from Connor, especially the fact that there is nothing you can’t accomplish when you set your mind to it.
