Is there hope to find purpose and passion after heartbreak? Shawn Askinosie shares his quest to discover meaningful work - a search that led him from his life as a highly successful criminal defense lawyer into the palliative care department of a hospital. And how that led to founding one of the first small batch bean to bar chocolate factories in North America. Shawn will show you how to redeem your sorrow, serve someone who needs you, and find your true self in the mystery of it all. Finally, he invites you to discover immeasurable joy through the most unexpected place - your own broken heart. In 2006, Shawn Askinosie left a successful career as a criminal defense lawyer to start a bean to bar chocolate factory and never looked back. Askinosie Chocolate is a small batch, award winning chocolate factory located in Springfield, Missouri, sourcing 100% of their beans directly from farmers that they profit share with on three continents. This spring will mark Shawn’s 42nd origin trip. Recently named by Forbes “One of the 25 Best Small Companies in America”, Askinosie Chocolate has also been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, on Bloomberg, MSNBC and numerous other national and international media outlets. Shawn was named by O, The Oprah Magazine “One of 15 Guys Who Are Saving the World.”
He has been awarded honorary doctorates from University of Missouri-Columbia and Missouri State University. Seth Godin, entrepreneur and author, recently praised the company’s model: “[Shawn] has built a practice of creating a worthwhile luxury good that directly benefits people. Not sort of. Not a little. But directly.”
Shawn is a Family Brother at Assumption Abbey, a Trappist monastery near Ava, Missouri and the co-founder of Lost & Found, a grief center serving children and families in Southwest Missouri. His new book - Meaningful Work: The Quest To Do Great Business, Find Your Calling And Feed Your Soul, co-written with his daughter Lawren Askinosie, published by Penguin Random House released last year and is already a #1 bestseller on Amazon. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Shawn Askinosie is a rare individual. Yet, in his day to day work and in his book and this Tedx Talk, he asks us to join him, not in his journey, but in our own passion/vocation.

What an incredible talk. Shawn says you can't find your life's path in a book or online, but when he talks, I feel like my path is right in front of me.

Thank you for this talk. I have just retired from a stressful automotive industry profession, and am continuing on in my vocation of spiritual direction which was what burned in my heart. I am reminded of this quote from Protestant minister Frederick Buechner: Vocation is the place where our deep gladness meets the world's deep need.

Sounds like your pain is coming through, can you go to the place it hurts, go there, and use it to help others who need your good words?

@@franzhaas5597 well that'll work, I know make something that needs protecting, your enemy, like the 36000 whales that are destroyed each year, and "lay those enemies to waste" or something like that.😳
