Shannon Shallcross is a speaker, writer, and founder exploring one central question:

What shifts in a human life when perception shifts?

Her voice has reached millions worldwide, both on stage and through her platform, The Gratitude Mind, where she examines how perception shapes reality, drawing from science, philosophy, and her own lived experience to explore the transformative power of gratitude and the quiet power we hold in how we see and respond to our lives.

A two-time TEDx speaker—most recently at TEDxProvidence on The Power of Gratitude—Shannon invites audiences to reconsider the stories they’ve accepted, the limits they’ve internalized, and the subtle mental patterns shaping their experience of the world.

Before dedicating her work to the inner architecture of human potential, Shannon built and scaled companies in the data science and insurance industries. She co-founded and successfully exited BetaXAnalytics, pioneering applied AI solutions to improve the cost and quality of healthcare, and advised Fortune 500 leaders on analytics strategy during the early wave of the data revolution.

Today, her work lives at the intersection of performance and presence—blending strategic thinking with deep reflection on how awareness alters outcomes.

She is an advisor to startups, a former Entrepreneur in Residence for Brown University’s Breakthrough Lab, a mother of two, and a lifelong student of the mind.

Her ideas continue to spark conversation across TikTok (@TheGratitudeMind) and Instagram (@The_Gratitude_Mind), where she explores how gratitude, perception, and consciousness influence the trajectory of our lives.
