1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,800
I asked him the question, I said, how do you bring the A game all the time?

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,840
I'm like, you're always this force.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,040
And he said, I would get in the elevator.

4
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:09,040
This is pre pandemic.

5
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:11,040
He said, I would get in the elevator of my company.

6
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:15,800
We had 700 or something employees that built it for my dorm room is what he was describing.

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,040
And he said, that might be the only time that person gets to meet me.

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,220
That might be the only time that that person gets to experience me.

9
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:28,320
I have a responsibility to make sure that I'm showing up as my full self there in that

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,040
moment because I might've been having a bad day.

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,400
I might've stubbed my toe in the way in, or I forget how he said it exactly.

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,880
He said, but that person might interpret there's something wrong with the company or there's

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,700
something a much bigger problem.

14
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:42,360
If I showed up and didn't bring that, that energy in that self.

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,320
And I got to tell you, Jackson, ever since I had that conversation with him on the podcast

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,600
and I stayed in touch with him since I was like, you know what?

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,160
This is like my reminder to square my shoulders back, whether I'm in the airport and exhausted

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,600
or whatever it is, got to bring that a game because you only get one chance to make a

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,400
first impression.
