Raise The Level of Competition Within Yourself
We live in a world that thrives on competition. Naturally, we compare ourselves to others to measure our progress, success, and status. And, while healthy competition is conducive to success — competition, by comparison, leads to self-destruction.
It’s common to look at those who are seemingly ahead and wonder if you're falling behind. But the reality is, we are wildly unique beings with a purpose of our own. And when you embrace that, you realize that the only person you ever need to compete with — is yourself.
At Be Better Than You, we shift the focus away from comparison and back to where it belongs.
YOU
Our mission is to help you recognize that you already have everything you need to take your life to the next level. You don’t need to change who you are — you need to understand who you are. The key to success, fulfillment, and growth is perspective.
Through powerful insight, we help you see the advantages of who you are, what you do, and what you already have so you can step into your power and be better than you — every day, in every way, in the most obsessive way.

Shay Stone is widely known as a creative powerhouse and thought leader. She's an Author, Animator, Director, Life Coach, and Creative Consultant. With over 15 years of experience in the film, television, and gaming industries, she has worked on some of the most iconic and groundbreaking projects. If you've seen Encanto, Strange World, Hotel Transylvania III, Smurfs: The Lost Village, The Emoji Movie, or played The Last of Us, The Sims 4, or Killzone, then you’ve seen her work in action.
But animation isn’t just a career for Shay—it’s an extension of who she is.​ From childhood, she was obsessed with what makes people tick—why we think, act, and make the choices we do. At the same time, she had a dream to become an animator at a world-renowned studio like Disney. Through her drive, unwavering faith, and relentless work ethic, she made that dream a reality. After graduating at the top of her class, she landed her first industry job just three months out of college, halfway across the world in Auckland, New Zealand.
​Bringing characters to life requires understanding their inner world—their emotions, struggles, and desires. For Shay, this extended far beyond the screen. She understood that real people, just like animated characters, have untapped potential waiting to be unlocked. That’s why she became a Life Coach—to help others master their minds, break free from limitations, and fast-track their success.
To know Shay is to know that nothing comes easy. Her journey was grueling—full of challenges, setbacks, and moments that could have broken her. But through faith, an unshakable mindset, and perseverance, she unlocked the formula to winning—again and again.
