Overcoming Suicidal Thoughts and Finding Hope Again (w/ Anthony Woolever)

Overcoming Suicidal Thoughts and Finding Hope Again (w/ Anthony Woolever)

Author: Shane Sams March 30, 2021 Duration: 1:04:02

Long-time listeners of the podcast, you know we are all about some online business here on the Flipped Lifestyle Podcast. We are all about helping real members of the Flipped Lifestyle Community and we let you listen in so you can change your family's future as well.

We cover a lot of topics here: we talk about online business, parenting, marriage, all the above! Today's show is a very special addition to everything we normally talk about.

About a year ago I got a message from a friend on Facebook that said, "hey Shane, you've got to talk to this guy Anthony Woolever. Anthony is a Flipped Lifestyle fan but he has a really special story and I want him to be able to tell it."

I thought this was going to be another success story but what came next impacted us in a big, big way! We started messaging on Facebook. Anthony began telling us how he had gotten into a dark place in his life and had decided he was going to commit suicide. As he was preparing his house for his loved ones so they would not have to deal with the after math. As he was doing so, he decided to listen to podcasts. Anthony found Pat Flynn's Smart Passive Income Podcast and it just so happened that he heard our story (along with several others) and he was filled with hope.

In this interview you will find out that we were just the period at the end of the sentence. There were a lot of God-ordained moments and now Anthony is living an amazing, productive life and making an impact in a big way out in the world!


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.
