“I’ve been following Shane and The Game Time Guru for the last 6-7 years. I think I’ve only met him once, but I’ve followed enough of his content to know he’s the real deal.
What stands out about Shane is that he’s the same guy online that he appears to be in real life. He’s a coach, a hardworking dad, a great leader, and someone who genuinely cares about helping people. He shares the wins, the struggles, and the lessons he’s learned along the way, which is something you don’t see enough of these days.
The amount of value he provides through his podcast and social media is incredible. He’s constantly encouraging people to be better, think differently, and show up for their families, teams, and communities.
The Treasure Valley is better because of people like Shane. We need more people with his mindset, character, and willingness to pour into others. Keep up the great work.”
