Nick Shaw is an accomplished executive coach, author, and speaker known for his profound insights into personal transformation, self-discovery, and authentic leadership. Through much reflection and soul-searching, Nick has realized a need to help others find ways of living more intentional and meaningful lives.
With the 2023 release of his debut book, My Teacher, My Son: Lessons on Life, Loss, and Love, Nick invites readers to embark on an introspective journey of their own. Through a compelling narrative about his experience of losing his son, William, at just nine years old, Nick’s book stretches the boundaries of the memoir form to teach and inspire its readers and to help them through their own complex emotions and experiences. In the pages of My Teacher, My Son, Nick offers a thought-provoking and supportive guide that urges individuals to examine their lives with honesty and self-compassion. Through poignant anecdotes, Nick encourages readers to reevaluate their choices and embrace a more fulfilling and purposeful existence.

Let's take a moment to reflect on the power of community and how we can make a difference together. We want to extend our deepest recognition and empathy to all the parents and siblings who have experienced the profound loss of a child. Losing a child is an unimaginable journey, filled with complex emotions and challenges that no words can fully capture.
To parents who navigate each day with strength, courage, and resilience, we see you. To the siblings who carry both the joyous memories and the weight of the absence, we acknowledge your unique journey.
Our hearts go out to every family affected by child loss. You are not alone, and your strength is a testament to the enduring power of love. In today's episode, as we celebrate the memories of Charlie and William, let us collectively hold space for those who carry the heavy burden of grief.
