Our Story – Chapter 1: Love at First Sight

Our Story – Chapter 1: Love at First Sight

Author: Shane Sams October 10, 2017 Duration: 32:45
We're so excited to share this week's Our Story series with y'all! Last week, we let you in about our early life, where we came from, what it was like before Jocelyn and I knew each other. This week's chapter is actually about how we met in college at the University of Kentucky. The first time I ever got to talk to Jocelyn was when I was convinced that she was the woman I was going to marry. Chapter highlights How I won Jocelyn's love and attention How I tricked Jocelyn into being my girlfriend. Brace yourselves, things are going to get cheesy and then hilarious… really, really fast. [Tweet ""Don't live a "good enough" life, you don't have to live life planning for the worst case scenario.""] [Tweet ""Choose a mentality of abundance, success, drive -- strive for something more.""] [Tweet ""There is unlimited potential in all of us.""]   BONUS TRIVIA: Gravity: How Shane got Jocelyn's attention... more or less. Jocelyn was born on March 27th, and I (Shane) was born on March 28th. When I told Jocelyn this, she was understandably skeptical. We both dreamed of going to the University of Kentucky, both drove a Buick, and had eventually moved to the "Wellness Dorm." Talk about fate!   If you enjoyed this week's chapter, let us know in the comments or better yet, leave us an iTunes review. Next week, we'll talk about our first careers, when we really started pursuing our dreams and I'm going to share the story of my romantic storybook proposal to Jocelyn and how I convinced her to be my bride.

Shane: Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast where life always comes before work.  We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. We're a real family who figured out how to make our entire living online.  And now, we help other families do the same.  Are you ready to flip your life?  Alright.  Let's get started. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast.  Great to be back with you again today.  This is going to be a solo show with just me and Jocelyn.  We are not going to have a guest on the program today.  As we continue to tell you a little bit more about our story, about how two normal people from Kentucky were able to start an online business with no money, no time, while working full-time, raising kids, and basically, how maybe you can do it, too.  That is what we are doing today, we are talking about the next chapter in our story. Last week, we told you a little bit about our early life about where we came from, where we grew up, before Jocelyn and I knew each other.  The next chapter in our story is actually about how we met in college at the University of Kentucky. Jocelyn: Alright, in our last episode, we were talking about how young I was when I went to college.  At the time, I thought I was all grown up and independent but looking back now, I realized how incredibly young and naïve I really was. Shane: You technically were not even legally of age.  You are not even 18 years old when you moved away from home.

Hosted by Shane Sams, the Flipped Lifestyle™ Podcast is a conversation about building a business that actually fits around your life, rather than the other way around. It’s born from the real-world experience of Shane and his wife Jocelyn, a family who created a million-dollar income entirely online. They focus on the practical mechanics of selling digital products and running membership sites-essentially, creating valuable information and community that people are willing to pay for. This isn't abstract theory; each episode digs into the systems, mindsets, and sometimes surprising tactics that worked for them as they built a location-independent career. You’ll hear candid discussions on the challenges of shifting from a traditional job to a self-directed online venture, managing family dynamics alongside business growth, and the ongoing work of sustaining success. The aim is to provide actionable insights for anyone feeling stuck in a conventional routine and dreaming of a "flipped" reality where work supports life on their own terms. Tune in for a straightforward, often humorous look at the entrepreneurial journey from a couple who is still actively living it, sharing their lessons so you can chart your own course.
