Understanding Gratitude w/ Shannon and Matthew Missimer

The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman

On this weeks episode of the burn, I am extremely grateful to be sitting down with Shannon and Matthew Missimer. The founders of the Motion of Gratitude and friends for over 15 years. Two of the most genuine and intentional people you will ever meet living a life of significance and gratitude through their movement they call practicing “Gratosis.”

Shannon shares her insights on writing down thoughts of gratitude to shift perspectives instantly and Matthew emphasizes the significance of gratitude anchors, like his gratitude bracelet and what it stands for.

Together, they reveal how living out of one suitcase each for five months led them to realize just how little they need to thrive, fostering a new appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.

We also spotlight their company, Motion of Gratitude, which aims to bring the practice of gratitude into corporate settings and school systems. They’re on a mission to encourage people to slow down, practice gratitude, and put pen to paper.
