1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,640
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:08,880
Yeah, so I run a nonprofit that's called C4 Leaders.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,960
So this is a, I'll try and get to answer your question

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,120
in a roundabout way a little bit.

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,720
But these four C's are how I live my life

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,920
and it's my moral compass and their communication, chemistry,

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,600
consistency, and creativity.

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,360
And right before COVID, I've decided

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,800
to change kind of the focus of my nonprofit

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,720
still to use those four C's.

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,680
Because again, that's how I live my life.

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:41,520
But I wanted to take the world's number one food, which is pizza,

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,160
and to infuse leadership and team building development using

14
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:50,680
pizza and wood-fired pizza oven.

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,760
And so to answer your question, my vision

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,520
is to create space for all people to be seen, heard,

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,480
and loved.

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,520
And we do that sitting around the fire.

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,920
We do that touching sourdough pizza,

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,840
tangible processes to allow people to figure out, hey,

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,600
what's essential in their life?

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,440
And I think when we can create space for all people

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,840
to feel like they're seen, heard, and loved,

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,360
it just makes this world a little bit better.

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,640
What a neat way.

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,080
To all people that comes to this leadership conference,

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,560
is it all in person that you do?

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,320
Oh, for sure.

29
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:36,800
Yeah.

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,600
We have a pizza truck.

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,360
We travel the country.

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,840
We work with sports teams, businesses, churches, schools,

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,360
other nonprofits, anybody that's looking to come together,

34
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,920
work together, and rise together.

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,160
And so it's so cool.

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,920
And the pizza oven was built by this company in Napa, Forno,

37
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,320
Pionbo.

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,720
And it is a work of art.

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,560
It's like a mosaic.

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,320
It's 3,000 pounds on the back of a Chevy dually truck.

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,040
And we travel all over the place.

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,880
So we bring the table to you.

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,680
And it's actually hands on.

44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,640
People are going to make their own pizza.

45
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,920
They're going to share a slice of their pizza.

46
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:22,480
They're going to figure out, hey, what

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,440
is essential in their life?

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,120
And I think any time you break bread together,

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,760
and again, allow people to get out of their own way,

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,640
it allows them to focus on creating their vision,

51
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,840
since that's the title of this episode.

52
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,520
And that's what we're trying to do.

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,240
That is amazing.

54
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,520
So Jeff, where did this vision of breaking bread together

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,520
come from?

56
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,840
Yeah, definitely my family.

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,840
I grew up in Campbell, California.

58
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,640
And I have eight brothers and sisters, including me.

59
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,320
And I didn't realize it at the time.

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:07,200
But my four C's were infused into my life at an early age.

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,720
And you're just kind of forced to work together

62
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,360
when you have that big of a family.

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,400
And there's only 10 and 1 1

64
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200
between the youngest and the oldest.

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,920
And so, yeah, I just realized it's all about working together.

66
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,720
It's all about communication.

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,200
It's all about consistently working hard.

68
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,160
And I don't swear, but I do drop this one word.

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,480
And I don't know if I'm allowed to do that on your show.

70
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,880
But my definition of consistency is, one, to consistently

71
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,640
BTA, which is bust that ass.

72
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,880
If you want to be good at anything,

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,720
you've got to be willing to work hard at it.

74
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,440
And then on the flip side of that,

75
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,920
to consistently challenge your thoughts and perspectives.

76
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,080
And then the creativity just comes from overcoming fear,

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,480
to be willing to share your God-given gift.

78
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,880
And so my parents and my brothers and sisters

79
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,760
kind of instilled that in me.

80
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,880
And as I became an adult, I just realized

81
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,120
that I had these kind of ingredients so much,

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,560
I had this vision inside me that I

83
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,240
wanted to share with the world.

84
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,240
That is amazing.

85
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,120
You mentioned, if you're not good at something,

86
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,960
you better be wanting to work hard.

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,840
I see a story coming there.

88
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,960
Did you have any instances in your life

89
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,360
where, like, hey, I'm not good at this,

90
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,680
but I want to get better at it, so I should work hard?

91
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,280
And what did you learn from it?

92
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:45,360
Oh, for sure.

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,240
Yeah, you can't tell, but I'm really tall, 6'8",

94
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,920
and not that you have to play basketball if you're tall,

95
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,120
but I played basketball.

96
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,040
And I'm the youngest boy, so I had all my older brothers

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,400
to kind of beat me up a little bit, so to say, on the court.

98
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,160
And so I wanted to be better.

99
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,040
I wanted to be better than them.

100
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,840
And so I needed to figure out, hey, how can I work hard?

101
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:10,320
How can I work smart?

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,640
How can I work efficient to be the best that I can be?

103
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080
And I think it just feels good to work hard.

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,320
It feels good to not be good at something,

105
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,120
get some help from somebody that's better than you,

106
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,600
and then to enhance your skill set based upon them

107
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,960
kind of guiding you.

108
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,400
And I think that's not to mix things up,

109
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,120
but I think so many times we have a scarcity mentality.

110
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,040
It's like, hey, I have to get mine.

111
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Not really.

112
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,200
There's plenty of slices for everybody

113
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,480
if we mix it back into the pizza.

114
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,080
And that's been a big part of my life,

115
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,520
is trying to help people take that step to overcome and get

116
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,440
better at something that maybe they weren't so good at

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,840
and to give them some guidance along the way,

118
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,360
then hopefully to have them pass it on

119
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,120
and to enhance somebody else's life that way.

120
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,520
Thank you for being here today.

121
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,040
