Shawn Feeney is the creator of Think Outside the Lines, a podcast and coaching practice for anyone who feels their daily life doesn’t quite match the depth of who they are.
After spending over a decade navigating high-pressure startups and leadership roles at Apple, Activision, and Microsoft, Shawn knows firsthand what it feels like to be highly capable on paper yet disconnected in practice. He understands ambition and performance, but he also knows how easy it is to move fast without actually moving forward.
He eventually stepped away from that world to build something more aligned, choosing to trade expectation for intention and bridge the gap between what looks good and what feels true.
Today, through 1:1 coaching, Shawn works with people navigating career transitions, identity shifts, and the "messy middle." He helps them move from autopilot to presence, closing the distance between their public success and their private peace.
He explores these same themes on the Think Outside the Lines podcast, hosting grounded, honest conversations with people who are redrawing their own maps and deciding that "normal" simply wasn’t working for them anymore.
Shawn’s approach is calm, reflective, and fiercely anti-performative. He doesn't believe people need fixing, nor does he offer rigid five-step frameworks. Instead, he provides the clarity and steady space for people to finally hear—and trust—themselves as they create the life they want.
