Fred Shea the Postman is my Superhero

Ranked #17,746 in Culture & Society, #359,821 overall

This person is my Superhero because...

Fred Shea is an inspiration.

Below is a video of Mark Sanborn telling the story of Fred Shea. I could tell you the story of Fred Shea in words, but Mark does a much better job of telling the story.

After watching the video, read my story about how Fred has influenced my life.

What I think about Fred

The first read The Fred Factor back in the spring of 2007. At the time I was facing some difficult times, but after reading Mark's book and hearing the story of Fred being extraordinary was something that really challenged my thinking.

It changed the way I looked at my work, and it changed the way I did my work. After reading The Fred Factor I had much more pride in my work, and I began to injoy it more as well.

Thank you Fred and Mark!

If you have any suggestions

for this page

I'm looking for suggestions for more good articles, photos, videos, blog posts, etc about this person. Think of this like the "External Resources" part of a Wikipedia page. What references would you add about my superhero?

P.S. I made this lens for the Squidoo Superheroes Project

I was invited to participate in the Squidoo Superhero Project, making 5 lenses in 2 weeks about the people who have inspired me, mentored me, changed the way I look at the world. The people I just want to say a big loud public THANKS to.

If you buy anything from this page, you'll automatically (for free, of course) be sending a royalty straight to the Squidoo Charity Fund, which pays out to nonprofits like JDRF and Room to Read and Donors Choose every month.

Shhh... Follow the Squidoo Superheroes Blog!

For tips on making your own Superhero lenses for charity.
