I didn’t expect to learn what I learned from this episode. I thought a check in to see how Shawn was from his recent professional loss. But wow… From the charcoal ashes rises my Canadian friend Shawn Bevins. What’s that saying you can’t keep a good man down?!? He’s the poster child for keep going, you’re not done just yet. After being hammered by life and to hell, he’s back and taking flight. A humble man, who’s not done yet. The first part of the episode we recap our conversation from his first episode with us just over a year ago now: He with his sights set on taking his grill company all the way he hit a snag. A snag we’ll call it. To others a fatal moment to which the normal person would say it is the way it is back to doing something for someone else’s dream. He embodies the “American dream” from the Canadian side of the boarder but I don’t know that he lives it more than most on this side of the border. His Canadian dream again took flight inside of a year, he’s just released two grills in a multitude of colors with a new interface of gravity feeding for an offset, quite possibly the very first in the world. Yes I have seen the masterbuilts, the gravity fed cookers but none seem to have this edge and ability taking whole logs…? Correct me if I’m wrong but most gravity feeds need charcoal brickettes to perform, yes?!? This might just be the fastest smoking company being built I’ve seen. Go see for yourself… https://legiongrill.com But really, The meat and potatoes what you heard but didn’t hear….. -> Who else takes delivery of 40,000+ lbs of charcoal the first year in business? It’s a testament & image of work ethic But what you may not have seen or heard is it’s also a masterclass in tribe building. Shawn’s built a team of warrior fans who are ready to charge hell with nothing more than water guns because they believe in him as the brand. It’s not even about the name Legion Grill Co. that it’s given. It’s the character and his drive that built the tribe. Who knows if he even realizes it to be so. But how else can you explain zero to hero inside of a year from someone that does NOT look like a Kardashion with a Instagram account of 200 million? Not possibly but by having built that tribe of people who are brothers and sisters in bbq ready to take the next mission. I listened back and heard so much more than I heard the first time we recorded this episode. As I edited it down I started taking notes and it reminded me of tribe building something my friend Gary Lamb of The BSP https://www.blksheepproject.com/ he talks about his tribe and they are ready to charge with water guns to hell for him and with him. I think it’s the WITH him that makes the tribe stronger. Shawn isn’t afraid of what failure looks like or feels like… I got so much more from this episode than I even expected.
