Shobukai Shift
You are the change you've been waiting for
SHOBUKAI SHIFT is a podcast for modern warriors—brave souls standing at the precipice of transformation. Drawing from the ancient wisdom of 'Shobukai' (the gathering of empty-handed warriors), we explore the battlefield of personal evolution.
Host Mary Schaub spent three decades orchestrating change for Fortune 500 companies before answering her true calling: guiding fellow warriors on their path to authenticity. Through raw conversations and battle-tested insights, we strip away comfortable illusions to reveal the essence of profound change, in all its forms.
This isn't self-help—it's revolution. For rebels, seekers, and those courageous enough to face their own shadows. SHOBUKAI SHIFT is your dojo for transformation, where warriors gather to become who they're meant to be. Welcome to the uprising of the spirit. Your warrior's journey awaits.
