“I’m riding a whole new wave, and it’s the best wave I’ve ever ridden,” exclaims Shaun Tomson. “Helping thousands of people is the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s better than being the best surfer in the world.”
Shaun, who has long been considered one of the best surfers in the world, is exalting about his role as an inspirational speaker. “After I lost my son, Matthew, I went back to graduate school,” he confides of the tragic loss he experienced in 2006. “I wanted to gain a better understanding how to inspire people to find positive goals. My son died from making a bad choice and playing a dangerous game. The biggest problem in America today is making a bad choice. One million Americans died last year from bad choices.”
Shaun has shared his academically tested method to big corporations like Cisco, GM, and Google, and to more than 60,000 students from different economic and cultural backgrounds. “I give them all the same message: a tool on how to find a new path,” he explains. “The tool is called The Code.”
