Tell me about your vision.
Yeah, thanks Harry.
Thanks for having me on the show here today.
I guess a little bit about my vision.
I was recently reading a really good book by Ryan Holiday
called Right Thing Right Now.
It's all about living a just life
and what does that mean for each one of us?
And it's really got me doing some searching on my own.
And one of the things that I've been saying for years
is part of my vision is, it's gonna sound a little cliche,
but you know, having an impact
and leaving the world in a better place
than when you found it, when you came into it.
And when I was reading Ryan's book, it came up again.
And he talks a lot about how we need more of that.
We need more folks that are, you know,
climbing bigger mountains with their craft, with their work,
but leaving the world in a good place
through the work that they do
and the actions that they take along the way,
whether that's looking at social justice,
whether that's looking at, you know, the words you write,
whatever that might be,
I think is really, really important.
So it's kind of resurfaced for me in that,
I guess at the end of the day, my vision is to do that,
to leave an impact, whether it's with a reader,
a client, with work,
and to just leave the world in a better place.
That is amazing.
Tell me more about that when you,
when you mean believing the world a better place,
what exactly is it that you do?
Yeah, so a great example,
when I published my second book called Your Best Decade,
really what I was trying to do was just, you know,
there was a lot out there around life hacks
and, you know, live your best day, live your best hour,
but there was really nothing looking at the time horizon
of 10 years of that decade.
And so I kind of looked at that and zoomed in
on that decade of time.
And what I wanted to do with the reader there
was just leave them feel inspired
to either make a change in their life
that would improve their lives,
or just leave them maybe thinking about some of the things
that they may need to do in the future
to make their lives a little bit better for themselves,
for their family, within their work and all of that.
And so when I published that book,
that was just really my goal.
My goal was just to meet readers where they're at
and to leave them in a better place.
And if it's through my book that that happens, amazing,
but if it's through another book, that's amazing too.
And I really do believe in the power of books
to do that for people.
And I've often said that, you know,
the best books are not always necessarily
the ones that are just on the New York Times bestseller.
They're the ones that meet you where,
they're the ones that meet you where you're at
when you need them the most.
And that to me is, yeah,
it's kind of why I continue to write
and why I continue to share ideas out there
just to make people's lives a little bit better
and to leave a bit of an impact there.
