Love Works Here
I wholeheartedly believe that it’s possible to build a place where everyone loves their job and I want to help others live that out in their business. I have developed an entire framework devoted to this mission, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned along the way. Systems alone can’t create love, but they can eliminate stress and tension in the business, while allowing trust to grow - so that love can stand a fighting chance. I’m Shawn York, and Love Works Here.
