💔Rough beginnings aren’t the entire story of someone’s life. Rough beginnings can lead to a mission driven life. THAT’s exactly what Mr. McFadden is! This guest is a current day Rocky and real life “student” of Stallone. NOT. ONE. SINGLE. THING. was ever given to this guy. Shawn has walked the walk (literally) through the same hallways as Mr. Stallone and nothing was gonna stop him. Millions have been inspired by Rocky, but for Shawn, it was a lifeline.
🌟Sly, if you’re reading this, our episode 70 guest has a very special message for you and it will be one of your favorites!
🥊Shawn, you are every bit as inspiring as Rocky and Sly. Your life, as it is today, proves you were a student of both! Thank you for giving us your time for this extra special episode.

🌟Several weeks ago Stallone posted handwritten "Rocky 7" script excerpts from his personal notebook. Mike reads several pages of scenes we will hopefully one day see on the big screen. (Or little screen? Hmmm... can you say 'mini-series'? One can dream!) You never know what the future holds! 🙏
☘️All the way from Ireland, Sean O'Donnell joins The Rocky Files and brings an extra dose of “Rocky Heart” to the show. During a very dark period of his life, the Rocky movies lit his path as he states, “it was the only thing that made me happy” 🥹
💚Sean, thank you for bringing such a rich Rocky spirit to this episode. Your story is a beautiful example of how Rocky becomes real when our victories are inspired by him!
