SHAUN BANKS

WHEN THE DREAM IS BIG ENOUGH, THE FACTS DON’T COUNT. TOO OFTEN, WE FEAR THE GREATER VISION.

I never could imagine working with kids or that by working with youth, my brands would reach people worldwide. Now, I am the publisher of the fastest-growing kid's motivational magazine and a pioneer, blazing trails in the youth personal development and business fields. My name is Shaun "SF." Banks. My friends call me SF.

Why pick me?

1. My knowledge comes from over 20 years of experience in the field. I know what works. I know what I'm talking about. I am an expert in my field with the "success" and credibility to back it up.
2. I will motivate your listeners to take action on their dreams and passions with real-life experiences in the business and personal development arena.
3. As a parenting influencer, I am able to help your audience with practical strategies that are working for people around the world.
4. I can assist your listeners who are aspiring/current business owners on ways to overcome challenges and ways to enhance their brand so it stands out.

Growing up with a single mother who cleaned houses and buildings for some of the most wealthy and elite people in Seattle, WA, I was CHISELED to have a strong work ethic, pursue big dreams, and help others. My childhood had many challenges, but I was taught NEVER to GIVE UP! One night, my life was rocked when my uncle murdered my aunt and cousin in a domestic violence dispute. Our close-knit family was devastated. I vowed to do something in their honor when I became an adult.

In 2007, I opened the I AM Defense Institute against my profound disinterest in working with youth. I AM Defense shows women and children how to protect themselves from attackers. Since then, I have committed my life to the personal development of youth.
