As I open the Waldorf Astoria hotel door, the sun is just beginning to rise and I’m temporarily blinded by the sun reflecting off the golden doors in the brisk cool New York air on a November 2027 morning.

The sounds of people hurrying about all around me. And as quickly as I open the door and enter, as the door shuts behind me the outside world is closed down. Those sounds replaced with festive jazz music and rustling papers, and printers, boots and stilettos echoing through the great halls.

A young man is waiting near the great stairs, most likely an intern by his excitement and high energy and asks, Shannon? I answer with a yes. Right this way sir.

He is dressed in a black Italian suit that complements his outline perfectly. I notice almost immediately as I admire a custom fitted suit. We walk along a very large room and as I look outside, I can see that this is the penthouse suite 707.

He opens the door and says, Mr. Carson is expecting you though that door. Good day sir, and he exits the room.

I walk into the room and there I’m face to face with one of Fox News’ brightest stars, well I should say former. He left the network and started his own media empire. He gets up and greets me with a warm welcome and then motions to the empty chair right across from him, please.

Mr. Carson, I have to say it’s an honor to meet you sir — he stops me short. Please Shannon enough with the formalities, you can just call me Tucker. Tucker it is, I reply.

We are casual here, and that is the way I like it. Tucker is dressed in a well fitted white linen open collared shirt with blue suit and blue slacks, and light brown shoes. Suit looks like an Armani.

He explains that the interview will be shot and edited and available on all his social media channels next week.

With a twinkle in his eye he says, So, you have quite the story, Shannon, and what fascinated me about it was how you found the faith to overcome some things that would just utterly crush most people.

Talk to me about where you get the strength to even have the energy and go on. Ultimately my faith in God has been my only sustainer — his faithfulness and how he leads and guides me.

Wow fascinating! To have a connection like that to God is unparalleled. So how did your journey of success begin, what was the moment in your life that everything changed forever?

I met this amazing couple from Kalaheo, Hawaii who introduced me to a series called the Master Keys Experience which ultimately taught me about getting control over my mind and replacing bad habits.

You know I have heard of this couple. I believe Oprah interviewed them. So, describe the events that happened after you took control of your mind. After that experience or should I say during the experience I began to notice that things, people and opportunities began to happen, first every other day and it started to happen every day.

Now really quick you were an artist manager at the time, correct?

Yes, well show offers and major opportunities for HADLEY a female country artist began to happen, and her popularity began to rise through these incredible offers and appearances on TV networks.

All the major late-night talk shows, it was massive. And honestly after learning how to replace bad habits with good ones things started to change in my life incredibly. People and things started reaching out to me and the next thing I know, I’m sitting front row at the Grammy’s with two artists winning the top awards for record of the year and song of the year.

For years I watched from TV at home or on my phone and here I am!

So, you started to see these incredible things start to happen to you almost right away that let you to be at the Grammy’s last year in February 2026. What was the turning point to achieving such massive success?

I had to let go of fear that had followed me all my life and that wasn’t easy. Did you know that fear is the number one reason why people don’t create and live the life they want?

So, in June 2026 I started to receive 46K a month from my company and every month thereafter. I began to plan what I call “My worldwide vacation” I viewed Positano from the deck of my super yacht. The vivid colors of the city on a hill; it is absolutely captivating at night I’m overwhelmed with joy!

I visited many other incredible cities from Dublin, Ireland and other areas in the UK, Paris, France and so many others.

Tucker continues, now you have a place, in Nashville correct. Where you raise cougars? How did all that happen? That is exciting!

Yes I developed this refuge ranch in September 2026. It’s always been a passion of mine to take in cougars and watch them grow in their natural habitat and through my The Cougar in You foundation, I take in injured cougars or those who cannot return to the wild for various reasons and it’s just incredible! They are just magnificent cats.

Wow! That is amazing that you do that!

Yes, and family and friends come down to hangout. I teach them to feed them and they can even hold the cubs and I wouldn’t trade a single thing for it.

Last year in February 2026 after the Grammy’s I took some time to myself in Miami. It’s such a colorful city with all the art and culture I get whisked away by the beaches and people.

Early mornings I love to walk along the beach and at first it’s a little chilly but it’s so quiet — the sound of the waves, an occasional gull and then the sun starts to appear on the horizon and there is nothing like the first few rays as they begin to warm up my body. It’s definitely my peace!

How do you balance this all out, with spending time with family and just your overall health

I make a point every day to work out 15-20 minutes a day and regularly schedule family and things that allow me to remain at peace every week. This includes the nutrition shakes I make every day to organic and low glycemic foods that I consume.

My faith is very important to me and throughout the day I’m praying for people and things as they come up. I have bible study every day as well. It’s important to fill your mind with truth and ultimately the things that control your thinking.

I turn away all negative thoughts and make sure that I have plenty of positive thoughts in reserve.

You know, I should talk to you about that further because I could use some pointers on that.

Oh, absolutely we can chat right after the interview. That would be great, thank you so much.

So, for our final point you have done something the first of its kind on your tribal nation of Leech Lake that had its grand opening this last June. Tell me about that and what does it mean to you?

As an indigenous man, I grew up in a poverty stricken, drugs and drinking nation of Leech Lake. A lot of our young people grew up with no direction and no sense of place and no identity, which was one of the reasons they turned to gangs and drugs.

It has always been a passion of mine to find a way to provide a way for them to succeed. That is where the concept and idea came from. What if we had a place for them to learn, thrive and grow away from these negative influences? I could help the upcoming youth, which in turn would cut down on the new gang members, drug dealers and drinking.

So, I took this concept and vision and worked with a few friends of mine who work at corporations who specialize in building design and the plans were created and last June 2026 we finally broke ground and it has been an absolute light into the darkness.

The facility has a full-sized basketball court, coliseum, game room, music studio you name it!

That sounds incredible! So, what kind of programming do you have there?

We have celebrities that come in to speak, some perform, some share some secrets on the court and others put on some concerts just for them. We teach The Master Key System which is a training put on by my good friend Mark that teaches you how to control your mind.

You create the incredible life you have always wanted. And the secret is, is that it’s in every person to do just that. I’m tremendously proud and grateful for what we are doing there.

Shannon, I wish you nothing but the best, and thanks for sharing everything you are doing. It’s truly fascinating and no doubt inspiring for thousands of people out there.

Thank you Tucker for having me.
