So 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,000 We're in great company 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,120 Absolutely. That's awesome. Okay. Um, yes, it's a 19 00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:13,280 Refinement process. I think a lot of people overlook the fact that 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,920 Strengths Finder is not called strength finder 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,600 Right. It's called strength finder 2.0 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,660 Um, you know, it's an iterative process. Um, right and that's all great things go through a process of editing and optimizations 23 00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:30,820 And the things including us as people um as leaders 24 00:01:30,820 --> 00:01:34,100 So with that said uh for the visionaries who are listening in 25 00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:35,860 what 26 00:01:35,860 --> 00:01:42,420 Two or three uh research or three resources. Do you recommend that a visionary dive into or look at on their own journey for? 27 00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:45,380 creating their movements 28 00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:49,380 I would say to me that the first in the primary one to start with is 29 00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:52,020 Simon Sinek's start with why? 30 00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:56,580 Um know why you're doing what you're doing and that's right 31 00:01:57,140 --> 00:01:59,780 Uh, I when you identify your purpose 32 00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:03,140 It just feeds you the whole way. Yeah 33 00:02:05,140 --> 00:02:07,140 Read it twice at the same time 34 00:02:08,420 --> 00:02:10,100 It's a good one 35 00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:13,380 Yeah, there is just so much there that um 36 00:02:14,260 --> 00:02:18,740 I mean, this is what I help people do anyways go back to the why why did you form the company in the first place? 37 00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:26,100 Because when you forget the purpose you lose your passion you lose your vibrancy and then you're just going through the motion 38 00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:32,980 You're surviving and I don't care if you're making a hundred thousand or a hundred million when you're going through the motions. You're surviving 39 00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:39,220 Yeah, that's not about living this life. We've come here to live with vibrancy and aliveness, you know 40 00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:42,820 Because that's where the creativity is and when you're in business 41 00:02:42,820 --> 00:02:46,740 It's all about your ability to be creative to adapt creatively to 42 00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:48,980 Every darn thing that shows up on any given day 43 00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:56,100 You have to fall back and regroup and how am I going to creatively do with this to take me and my company to the next level? 44 00:02:56,580 --> 00:02:58,580 you know 45 00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:00,980 And then the other is key person of influence 46 00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:08,260 Key person of influence. Yeah, I think by Daniel priestly. I think it's really important to know 47 00:03:09,140 --> 00:03:12,740 That as leaders we have amazing impact and influence 48 00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:17,860 And when we own it we can be much much more purposeful about it so that we 49 00:03:18,580 --> 00:03:23,060 We recognize at any moment we can call somebody to become their best self 50 00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:25,940 To reach for the stars 51 00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:30,660 And at any moment we can discourage somebody without even recognizing we're doing it 52 00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:34,980 You know, so we have influence just because of who we are 53 00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:36,820 Own it 54 00:03:36,820 --> 00:03:38,820 Absolutely. Do you have another one? 55 00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:43,780 No, that's it. Those are the two those are the two. Yeah, well, this is more. That's awesome 56 00:03:43,780 --> 00:03:46,420 Yeah, all right. Well after the break, we'll dive right back in 57 00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:53,140 We'll be talking about dr.

We're going to be talking about how to empower leaders 65 00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:37,060 She's got an assessment that we'll look at as well. Um, she's got she's been working at this for 66 00:04:37,780 --> 00:04:39,780 more than five years 67 00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:47,540 um, you know more than more than 20 years and with with that type of experience and timeline the wisdom that comes from the leaders who 68 00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:50,660 You know who spent more time leading and spent more time developing 69 00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:57,300 They've had more chances to go through both the failures and the successes that ultimately help us understand 70 00:04:57,540 --> 00:04:59,620 What we can do to improve our vision 71 00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:02,260 So i'm excited to have her on stage. I'm excited to talk to her 72 00:05:02,820 --> 00:05:05,300 About that and before we bring her on of course 73 00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:09,300 I want to make sure to guide you guys to some materials that can help you with your growth 74 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:17,140 Um, we have two very interesting sponsors for today's show. One of them is melissa gray of the lawspot. Um now melissa gray 75 00:05:17,940 --> 00:05:20,180 I was nervous to bring her on stage because 76 00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:25,860 Uh attorneys normally don't have the types of visions that I I find very inspiring 77 00:05:25,860 --> 00:05:31,940 That that couldn't be further from the truth with melissa. She understands that legal for businesses does not have to be complicated 78 00:05:32,420 --> 00:05:36,100 She's a nurturer by nature. Um, she does have the ability of course 79 00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:41,780 Um argue and and do all the things that typical attorneys do but to be able to connect with 80 00:05:42,180 --> 00:05:49,220 Me as a human being in our audience and such a great capacity on the show and to be able to have the skill set that she has 81 00:05:49,540 --> 00:05:52,100 Really sets her apart in my opinion from others now 82 00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:57,780 I had a personal experience with the trademark lawsuit that we did win by the way a restaurant connect 83 00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:00,980 But it also costs us twenty thousand dollars as a startup 84 00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:06,820 I don't know if that's considered winning when you're a startup and you need that type of capital for growth 85 00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:12,340 We didn't do the best that we could on on our due diligence for researching who should represent us 86 00:06:12,340 --> 00:06:15,140 Um, you know what counsel we could have already had in place 87 00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:19,220 So my invitation is to you is to interview her while you're also exploring 88 00:06:19,220 --> 00:06:23,860 Your other options that are out there now in addition to that we've got andrew sosen's program recovery 89 00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:27,780 Unplugged up there as well and you know, this is a sensitive subject 90 00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:34,020 And I think that one of the challenges of our modern society is we gravitate away from sensitive subjects rather than embracing it 91 00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:38,020 A lot of entrepreneurs and well anybody in life 92 00:06:38,260 --> 00:06:43,700 You probably know somebody or have somebody close to you that has an addictive personality and could use some help 93 00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:48,420 Andrew has a team of more than 400 people that he's built up over several years 94 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,980 In addition if you're a fan of tony robbins, he's like a super fan of that program 95 00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:56,580 He's been 22 years in a row to tony robbins trainings 96 00:06:56,580 --> 00:07:02,500 I was talking to him about a mastermind that he was doing too with richard branson and robert kiyosaki 97 00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:05,700 Somebody who hangs out in those environments 98 00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:10,180 Learns a lot about wisdom of growth and he's taken this program 99 00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:13,300 From now a number of cities to a virtual 100 00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:20,900 Reality like a virtual experience, you know, that's the silver lining of covet a lot of programs became available to more people worldwide 101 00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:28,100 And so we see recovery unplugged as an opportunity to help people overcome their greatest challenges in the business world 102 00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:30,660 We call it sometimes we call it the mind trash 103 00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:37,060 And there's just so many pressures that are on entrepreneurs that are on business people right now that are really going to end up in a 104 00:07:37,060 --> 00:07:46,100 Everybody. I hope you take the opportunity to find out more about this program and what it could do for your life or your loved ones 105 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:49,700 I believe they also have a 24 7 call center that can help you understand 106 00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:56,260 How to perhaps effectively introduce this to a family member friend who might find that too sensitive of a subject to approach 107 00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:01,300 Lastly is the water project. Um, the water project is not a sponsor 108 00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:04,740 But it is a program that I hold dear to my heart on purpose. I've 109 00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:12,100 Never had the need for this water in my life. Um, i've always had the water that I that I need and it 110 00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:20,100 So I refuse to allow myself to forget there's millions of people in the world who don't even have access to clean drinking water 111 00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:26,500 But we can do something about that. We can actually work with the water project for instance to help them 112 00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:28,420 bring 113 00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:33,220 Sustainable water solutions to those who don't have it in these communities specifically in africa 114 00:08:33,220 --> 00:08:37,700 And you get to choose the community you want to help when you donate five dollars ten dollars to it 115 00:08:37,860 --> 00:08:40,260 They'll also give you an update of the progress 116 00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:43,460 You get to see the you get to see the project come to fruition 117 00:08:43,780 --> 00:08:48,900 And the kids and these pictures and these communities you get to see them celebrate water like it's christmas day 118 00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:54,180 Um, and I hope that touches your heart. I hope that if you're in a position where you can't give 119 00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:56,900 But you could tell somebody about it 120 00:08:57,060 --> 00:09:00,180 Maybe just share the screen with the person sitting next to you in the airport 121 00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:06,100 Um, you know, or maybe you're you're going to tag a friend or send this to somebody you never know 122 00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:11,780 It might lead to somebody giving a hundred thousand dollars to that project and actually providing water to almost a hundred thousand people 123 00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:16,260 um for the next five to ten fifteen years, who knows how long but 124 00:09:17,060 --> 00:09:20,820 That would be my my request of you is to help us give back 125 00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:27,700 And if you know of a cause that you'd rather see a support than my other challenge to you an invitation drop the link 126 00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:30,020 Let us know about the cause we might not know about it 127 00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:33,300 But we might put it up here next to the water project and talk about it 128 00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:38,820 And you never know how far the ripple effect will will go for the good act 129 00:09:39,060 --> 00:09:43,860 Activities the good actions that you take as you strive to serve others. So without further ado 130 00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:47,380 I'm going to bring dr. Dorothy on stage. We'll dive right into revision and 131 00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:52,020 Everybody that's listening in if you want to know more about dr.

I love what you said about the water project that you never know who you could meet 135 00:10:05,220 --> 00:10:08,660 That would have the ability to give a hundred thousand dollars to that project 136 00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:15,140 You don't know who's out there. We have the ability to influence so many when we believe completely in something 137 00:10:16,340 --> 00:10:19,700 Absolutely, absolutely. I'm a big fan of that and 138 00:10:20,260 --> 00:10:22,740 I mean, I it reminds me I was at an event 139 00:10:22,740 --> 00:10:27,460 I was speaking at an event called wish for our heroes and we were raising money for veterans and 140 00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:30,100 One of the planned 141 00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:34,900 Tactics, right? Oh my gosh, we use tactics in the midst of our principles. Yes, we do 142 00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:38,980 Was after we had raised all the money that we could 143 00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:42,260 I took a hundred dollar bill out of my pocket 144 00:10:42,740 --> 00:10:48,980 Personally, right and and said, you know, I know we've all given to the max of our capacities myself included all of us have and 145 00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:51,540 Sometimes we're in a position to stretch just a little bit further 146 00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:56,340 And I want to do that right now based on what's happened if any of you want to join me, you know 147 00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:58,980 You know, I know the the families would appreciate it 148 00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:02,340 I think that led to another 149 00:11:03,620 --> 00:11:06,260 Probably somewhere between four and ten thousand dollars 150 00:11:07,060 --> 00:11:10,420 You know being being activated for these families that were in super need 151 00:11:11,140 --> 00:11:13,140 Now I didn't pressure anybody into that 152 00:11:13,780 --> 00:11:17,460 I just made sure to lead by example and to be ready to do so 153 00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:20,980 We again we have that opportunity as leaders to learn 154 00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:25,860 How do we inspire others to take bold effective action? 155 00:11:26,580 --> 00:11:32,260 So with that said I'm done teaching because this isn't my job to teach.

They're going doggy dog world 318 00:23:01,460 --> 00:23:03,460 We're going to fight through this 319 00:23:03,460 --> 00:23:06,580 When that's their view of their own identity 320 00:23:08,260 --> 00:23:10,260 How do you address 321 00:23:10,580 --> 00:23:15,780 A situation, how do you address that do you you know where where their identity is kind of in contrast? 322 00:23:16,580 --> 00:23:20,260 With the culture of the team and the understanding that 323 00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:24,020 You're really you're really you're really you're really you're really you're really you're really 324 00:23:24,020 --> 00:23:25,860 understanding that 325 00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:27,860 Your role is great and you're good. But 326 00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:31,780 You know what? I mean, there's a clash that's going to be created amongst team members, right? 327 00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:33,940 I mean that that's so different and so 328 00:23:34,580 --> 00:23:39,300 um, you know ready to ready to kind of fight and every opportunity that they can for what they 329 00:23:39,940 --> 00:23:42,660 Know to be reality. How do you go about? 330 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,660 Educating or working with somebody like that? 331 00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:50,360 I I don't I never start with criticism 332 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:54,440 All right, because that that puts them in defense before you even open your mouth, right? 333 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,120 Yeah, so what i'll say is to somebody in that instance 334 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,600 Um, i'm absolutely blown out of the water and completely impressed by their ability 335 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,400 To support our company going where it needs to go 336 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,920 Yeah, one of the things I have noticed however, is that I think maybe what's happening? 337 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,640 Is you're losing a piece of yourself in the process of making it happen? 338 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,960 This company piece of yourself this company's style 339 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,720 Is that it isn't win at all costs? 340 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,880 It is let's help everybody win. We do win win here 341 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,760 We want the clients to win. We want our companies to win. We want our sales folks to win 342 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,320 And in order to make that happen 343 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,280 The approach we take here is this 344 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,600 Is what best serves them even if they're buying less? 345 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:49,240 Is what best serves them even if they're buying less or they're buying a less expensive product 346 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,920 What serves them best and then everybody's winning and that's really the value system here 347 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,880 Does that sound like something you can do because at the moment I can see you're coming at it from another perspective perhaps 348 00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:04,360 In the value system your last company had 349 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:11,080 But let's just again. I'm not pointing at him. You know, there's this your bad boy, you know, or bad girl 350 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:16,200 That's not what this is about. This is a value system that may have worked in the last company, but it's different here 351 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:22,200 Um, does that work for you because I think in the long run not only do you feel better about yourself? 352 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:28,280 But you recognize you've got the ability to make this world a better place and make this company excel 353 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,880 because our reputation spreads because of our support for our people 354 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,360 and really work with him or her to look at 355 00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:40,760 Do they believe that they can do it in our value system? Because if not 356 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:47,080 Um, I don't want them to go against who they've chosen to become and working here is going to do that for them more and more 357 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,960 So how can we both win? 358 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,560 Hmm. Well, I like I like that a lot. Um 359 00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:58,520 Before we dive into the best leadership experience. I think that that emulates just that in fact 360 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,160 It reminds me of a I had a similar conversation with chris whitehead of iconic movement 361 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,520 Um, he's got a podcast that that's the podcast name. He's awesome. And I asked him a very similar question 362 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,080 He had a very similar answer 363 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,080 um in that if 364 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,200 we're 365 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,200 Helping people remain accountable to the values we've established for the company 366 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,320 Right. We're pointing at the values not at the person 367 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:29,400 Um, then that helps us have those conversations and make sure that we're all accountable to practicing those those virtues or values together 368 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,120 Um, and I heard you basically reflect that with you know, that's not the company's style 369 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,560 Um, and it's and when when we're small as a company like right now, it's pretty easy for me 370 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:45,400 To make sure I don't bring somebody into the company that doesn't honor our values 371 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,160 Because i'm involved in the hr processes, but when you get in the company is where you've got 372 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:59,480 20 employees 40 employees 100 employees beyond there's certainly more opportunity for people 373 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,200 Excuse me to be able to enter in 374 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,760 that may have 375 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:10,120 May have nodded their head and checked all the boxes the way they needed to in order to get a job because they might need a job 376 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:19,000 Not realizing. Oh my um, it's it's very hard to belong in and work in and have an exciting fun experience good experience of work 377 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,000 When you don't 378 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:27,880 Correlate with the existing values. So thank you for that. Um, it's it's uh been on my mind a lot lately 379 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:29,880 um 380 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,960 Yeah, I didn't mean to skip that so moving into best leadership experience 381 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,240 What is your best leadership experience ever? 382 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:44,840 Oh goodness, um, I think with with one of my companies I had because I I have formed 383 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:50,920 Um five companies at this point and with one of my companies I had um, 63 positions on my payroll 384 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,520 And and I say positions were as free because some of my folks had their full-time jobs 385 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,500 But I had a school I founded the institute of healing arts and sciences 386 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:05,000 And they may have been teaching at the school. So that was a 1099 position in addition to their 387 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,920 their full-time position with my company and um 388 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,520 What I did is every time we had a phenomenal year 389 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,520 Everybody got a raise or a bonus 390 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,520 and 391 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,540 It allowed me to feel that we truly are a team 392 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:27,020 And what it did for them is recognized. We truly are all in this together 393 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,020 That it's about all of us winning 394 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,600 And for me 395 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,560 I loved that part of it when I could share all of it when I could 396 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,600 When I could say we did a great job 397 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:48,040 We did a great. Yeah, it's my company, but without all of them doing what they did 398 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,960 We wouldn't have had the massive enrollment we had we wouldn't have had the massive successes that we had 399 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,040 Um, and there's no way I could have done any of that by myself 400 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,720 So it it was all of us together and that to me 401 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:08,060 Fed me and fed them and created a community because that's how I saw it is. We are one huge community 402 00:29:08,060 --> 00:29:10,060 That's so mad. That's that's you 403 00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:12,700 Living and implementing start with why? 404 00:29:12,940 --> 00:29:19,980 Yeah, your team right, you know, I think there's so many small business owners that think what's the least amount I can pay you 405 00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:25,180 They don't say it like that. Yeah, you know, they say, you know, how much is this going to cost? 406 00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:27,820 Translation 407 00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:31,420 What's the least amount I can pay your company to support and serve us? 408 00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:37,180 That's the literal translation of that phrase. Yeah, right. That is that is small business mindset 409 00:29:37,180 --> 00:29:41,580 Limitations, right versus what you were doing was looking at. Okay 410 00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:43,820 When we win 411 00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:48,140 You know, we're going to look at everybody's needs. We're going to look at everybody's wants.

Dorothy 436 00:31:36,700 --> 00:31:38,700 The last one to share a powerful lesson 437 00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:42,460 What powerful lesson can other visionaries learn from your experience? 438 00:31:44,140 --> 00:31:46,140 That it is so 439 00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:49,580 Important to stay aware of that why? 440 00:31:50,860 --> 00:31:52,860 It is so important 441 00:31:52,860 --> 00:31:57,420 It is so important not to get so focused on success 442 00:31:58,140 --> 00:32:01,900 That you forget why you founded the company in the first place 443 00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:06,300 In too many 444 00:32:06,460 --> 00:32:10,460 They look back and they say what I missed most of the early days 445 00:32:11,180 --> 00:32:16,220 Because in the early days it was fun. There was passion. There was creativity in the early days 446 00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:18,860 There was the excitement of growing the business 447 00:32:18,860 --> 00:32:21,900 And they become so successful 448 00:32:22,380 --> 00:32:26,060 And I want to I love my bias here. I love entrepreneurial work 449 00:32:26,060 --> 00:32:28,460 I let them all be highly successful 450 00:32:28,940 --> 00:32:32,380 But when they become so successful 451 00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:35,100 That all they focus on is success 452 00:32:36,620 --> 00:32:41,100 They've lost sight of the price they're paying for that success 453 00:32:42,860 --> 00:32:46,220 Because when you lose sight of your passion and your vision 454 00:32:46,220 --> 00:32:48,780 Whether you're making a hundred thousand or a hundred million 455 00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:55,340 If you're in struggle and just working to get there wherever there is 456 00:32:56,780 --> 00:33:00,220 You've missed it. You lost it. You lost sight of 457 00:33:01,420 --> 00:33:05,180 Not only who you were but why you were doing what you were doing 458 00:33:06,220 --> 00:33:09,900 And to me life is about as I said earlier, it's it's an adventure 459 00:33:10,380 --> 00:33:13,900 It takes passion. It takes a vibe. It takes a life now 460 00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:15,900 It takes a life. It takes a life 461 00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:20,940 It takes being fed emotionally and spiritually every day 462 00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:28,380 What am I doing? And some days you're fed massively emotionally and spiritually and some days you're fed a little 463 00:33:29,420 --> 00:33:33,900 But as long as you're fed you remember why you're doing what you're doing 464 00:33:34,540 --> 00:33:37,020 And you can't wait to get up and do it again tomorrow 465 00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:41,260 You know it isn't oh god. I've got to go into work tomorrow 466 00:33:41,260 --> 00:33:43,260 I've got to go to work tomorrow 467 00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:46,300 Absolutely the um 468 00:33:47,020 --> 00:33:49,420 The quote i'm gonna pull that up here what you said 469 00:33:50,460 --> 00:33:52,140 and 470 00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:54,140 You talk about staying aware of your why? 471 00:33:54,780 --> 00:34:00,140 So let's dive in a little bit to that because I think that again your powerful lesson is in essence 472 00:34:00,220 --> 00:34:02,220 One of the greatest ways to empower leaders 473 00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:06,140 To you know so that your impact's expanded for a better world 474 00:34:06,140 --> 00:34:09,580 Um when you say stay aware 475 00:34:12,140 --> 00:34:16,460 Every six months every six years every six as a way of life as a way 476 00:34:17,020 --> 00:34:21,660 A way of life. It is not something if I go through my nose, i'm going to remember 477 00:34:22,780 --> 00:34:24,780 It is it is 478 00:34:25,260 --> 00:34:32,060 Aren't a lot of people's whys in their drawer. Yeah. Yeah, I guess it's time to go drive now or I guess people use dropbox too 479 00:34:32,060 --> 00:34:35,820 Um, that's so sad. That is so sad 480 00:34:37,020 --> 00:34:42,700 You know at any point whether it's at night when i'm having a glass of wine or a cup of tea or in the middle of a meeting 481 00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:48,540 Why do I do what I do? I can give you the answer. I may use different words, but i'm giving you the same message 482 00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:51,740 Right, right. We might have more than one why 483 00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:54,300 Too. Yeah, there's there's room for that 484 00:34:54,780 --> 00:34:59,420 It's you know what? It reminds me of two is one of the I think one of the greatest reasons 485 00:34:59,420 --> 00:35:02,060 I know finances are the reason that marriages fail 486 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:11,580 Finances are a part, but I think that what what is telling to me having having been through two divorces myself, um, you know and and 487 00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:15,500 Seeing different qualities of marriage. Um 488 00:35:16,460 --> 00:35:21,740 My marriages were not a product of people who did not care perhaps we cared too much 489 00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:26,380 Right. There's a balance to be had, you know on on how you go about things 490 00:35:26,380 --> 00:35:29,740 But I see so many people whose marriages are dead 491 00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:36,620 And it's easy to see that the marriage like the the relationship the feeling the why behind it's dead because when you ask them 492 00:35:37,020 --> 00:35:39,020 How did you first meet and they go? 493 00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:41,820 Oh, we met over here 494 00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:43,180 Yeah 495 00:35:43,180 --> 00:35:48,300 You know like the fireworks are gone.

Dorothy before we close? 616 00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:01,520 It's so beautifully said that we can't do it alone 617 00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:06,320 We truly can't do it alone and that's that's the submission of our vision 618 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:12,240 And that's that's the submission of what you just said is that we we need others to bring us and and somebody like you 619 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,720 Who brings it out and exposes other leaders to other leaders, you know 620 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:23,840 And and your willingness and ability to bring people together to make that happen is a real strength 621 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,480 And it really supports folks 622 00:44:27,020 --> 00:44:32,980 Um recognizing none of us can do this alone. We can be as independent as could be i'm extremely independent 623 00:44:32,980 --> 00:44:36,120 But independent is dramatically different than self-sufficient 624 00:44:36,580 --> 00:44:38,580 Nobody is self-sufficient 625 00:44:38,660 --> 00:44:46,420 We are all you know, there's a big difference there and others whether it's accountability partners who let us know when we're 626 00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:50,980 We're going off center here.
