Author + 4x Olympic Medalist


After retiring from gymnastics in 2012, Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East has continued her success story with a New York Times best-selling book, a career in broadcast, a mirror ball trophy after winning Dancing With The Stars, and has launched several businesses alongside her husband, former NFL player Andrew East. Shawn and Andrew share their life with their combined 13.8M+ followers across their social media platforms, a YouTube channel that has earned more than 1B views, and a NYT-praised podcast that has climbed to #1 on the overall charts. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, Shawn worked as a gymnastics expert and correspondent for Yahoo! Sports, and last year, she won Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test in Morocco. She was also named to AdWeek’s Most Powerful Women in Sports 2025 list. Shawn and Andrew are the proud parents of three, and will release their first co-authored book, The Courage To Commit: Embrace the Radical Power of Sticking with Something via Portfolio this June.
