Shane Snow: We Get Better At This By Asking For Help
Late at night on the worst day of his life, Shane Snow found himself with nowhere to sleep. He was homeless.
He had just gotten divorced, things were shaky financially, and he hadn’t asked anybody for help yet. He was still pretending that everything was fine.
Everything changed after Shane finally asked his friends for help. He learned that he didn’t have to pretend anymore and there was no weakness in asking for help.
