ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shawn Mingus knows what it’s like to have it all and still feel off balance.
For years, Shawn achieved every marker of success. He built a thriving career, led high-performing teams, and checked every box that was supposed to equal fulfillment. But he felt unsatisfied. Despite the accomplishments and accolades, life felt out of alignment. And he couldn’t quite put his finger on why.
That’s when he discovered the framework that would change his life.
Through years of personal exploration, professional coaching, and working with thousands of executives, sales professionals, and entrepreneurs, Shawn developed the Polygon framework, an eight-sided approach to life that goes beyond traditional work-life balance. Instead of forcing people to choose between career success and personal fulfillment, Shawn’s framework invites them to grow holistically across all areas of life: spirituality, self, romance, friends and family, fun, profession, finances, and innovation.
What Shawn Believes
Shawn believes that life isn’t two-dimensional, and treating our journey on Earth that way keeps us from experiencing all that life makes possible. He believes that sustainable success doesn’t require sacrifice or burnout, and when we change the geometry of how we see our lives, we unlock a path to true abundance.
Why Shawn Wrote This Book
After guiding thousands of participants through this process and witnessing transformation after transformation, Shawn knew this framework needed to reach more people. Reimagining Balance is the result of that calling. It’s a practical, science-backed guide for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re checking off all of life’s boxes but still struggling to feel whole.
Shawn isn’t here to tell you what to believe or how to feel. He’s here to guide you toward your own truth, your own balance, and your own version of an abundant life well lived.
Beyond the Book
When he’s not writing or speaking, Shawn is a sales executive, assisting leaders and organizations in building cultures of sustainable growth and holistic well-being. His approach is warm, direct, and grounded in real-world experience.
He has walked the path he now invites you to explore, and he is committed to helping others find their way.
