106: Explode Your Creativity Through Model Health w/ Shawn 'The Batman' Stevenson
07/31/15 • 72 min
Creativity helps maximize your health, AND health helps maximize your creativity. In a nutshell, the process of creating is good for you, and it’s a topic that should be taken seriously by all of us, not just the ‘creatives.’
Now – If I had a crush on a dude (and I do), it would be on none other than Shawn ‘The Batman’ Stevenson.
Why?
- He speaks like a super-hero.
- His abs were used to mold the Batsuit for the last 75 years.
- He saves lives with his podcast (The Model Health Show) and constant teachings, and not just in Gotham.
In all seriousness, Shawn Stevenson is changing the world. He was overweight and unhealthy when diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in his back, and he took the weight upon himself to defy the odds the doctors gave him.
Degenerative Disc Disease is commonly referred to as ‘unfixable’ by most Doctors, but Shawn doubted the system. He put all of his effort and faith into researching and dissecting his problems. Not only was he able to reverse his disease, but he also built the foundation for a life of meaning that would evolve into helping others become the happiest and healthiest version of themselves.
From mental health and psychology to physical fitness and nutrition, Shawn has dedicated his life to creating and delivering the absolute best health information available in the world. He also makes the health information simple, clear, and easy-to-understand for EVERYONE.
I’m not dropping mad compliments because he makes me feel like a fangirl (and he does), but my life has seriously changed since I discovered his podcast. I have been able to apply his methods and teachings to every possible aspect of my life, and I’m the absolute best version of myself because of it.
Health and fitness can be a long, continuous battle, but Shawn has created a way for everyone to look, feel, and function at their highest levels.
I’m batman-pumped to release this episode where Shawn and I tackle the benefits of combining health and creativity.
To defeat Godzilla with his talents...- “I have to try and find out what he wants. Everything on the planet wants to be happy. I’ll try to find out what Godzilla is looking for. Maybe he is looking for a Godzillaette. Maybe we gotta find a giant lizard that he can get it on with!”
- You’ve got to use what you have to get what you want.
- The mind is different from the brain.
- You have to be creative to survive!
- It’s a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. -Einstein

The definition of ‘digital nomad’ is:
“Digital nomads are individuals who leverage telecommunications technologies to perform their work duties, and more generally conduct their lifestyle in a nomadic manner.”
Fabian Dittrich had a passion for travel and everyday excitement, but he was trapped within a job that wouldn’t allow the lifestyle he longed for.
So guess what Fabian did? He crushed his resistance and abandoned his ‘job’ to adventure around the world- seeking others currently living and creating on their own terms.
Fabian is involved in many badass projects, but he is most known for creating the world’s first NOMAD COMPANY, traveling in a defender throughout South America and documenting his quest for world domination on StartupDiaries.org.
His defender is known as the ‘rolling office’ where he cruises around magical lands all over the world, interviewing others who are living and creating the exact lifestyle of their dreams- no strings attached.
If you want a swift kick to the ass to get you motivated to fight for your dreams, this episode is definitely for you.
