About The Author
Shawn Hamill was a sales manager, rising through the ranks of the corporate world and building a reputation as a results-getter. While making an impression in the Home Improvement CPG Space he was traveling extensively to meet the demands of his busy career. It was on a flight to meetings in Florida that he came to realize he was stuck in the "More Culture". He was addicted to the thrill of success – it drove him to want more sales, to make more money, to provide more.
His safe life enabled him to be a good provider, but his focus on being a dad and husband was suffering. Suddenly it seemed the safe live he was living was challenging his ability to live his best life – a life of balance, meaning and purpose.
He pondered to himself the question “there’s got to be more to life than 9-5 till 65. Career success was suddenly not enough - Shawn was living to work, focused on only one dimension of his spiritual well being. Spending 100 nights a year in hotel rooms was no longer fun but a drain that left him feeling lonely and burnt out. It led him on a quest to explore what defines a balanced life.
In 2014 Shawn said “goodbye” to the corporate world. Along with his wife, son, and two dogs, they left the life they knew and went sailing - from Annapolis Maryland to the Florida Keys, and then back to Canada. It was nine months of freedom living on the water.
The following year they toured Canada, the United States and Mexico in their 30’ motorhome. Driving more than 13,000 KM’s, over 6 months, they immersed themselves in local cultures and lived a simple life – a beach life.
In 2016 they purchased an old wooden jungle property in Roatan Honduras. After completing renovations, they opened the Jungle Reef Inn and welcomed guests from more than 40 countries.
Today Leanne, Shawn and dog Miki continue to live the simple life. Leanne teaches yoga wherever the have their hats long enough to stretch out a mat. Shawn owns a coaching and consulting business and speaks and writes about the discoveries they made in their quest for purpose, fulfillment, and inner peace.
