Tell me about your vision.
My vision is to globally revolutionize
the way professionals connect with one another,
serve one another, and ask of one another.
And so that vision came when I started
a journey doing one-to-ones with anybody that would meet with me
in August of 2014.
In the next two weeks, I'll hit 7,800 people
that I've met with for a one-to-one.
And those are people that were not in the community,
so it was always external.
And so as I got to 3,000 one-to-ones,
I developed what was called Connects Urban ASP,
which was the fundamentals that we
have to focus on our needs and all that stuff.
And so since basically August of 2018, when that was discovered,
Connects Urban ASP was discovered,
we have basically transformed the community,
the organization, how it works, what value do we provide,
or the value that we provide, and the type of people
that we really desire in our community
fit within the confines of that vision of focusing
on earning trust.
And that's where it comes from.
Where did the vision come from to start that in 2014?
And by the way, congratulations, you're almost on your 10 year.
Actually, it's 16 years.
So it was six years after I started
before I went on that journey, very special journey,
that had ripple effects that are forever long lasting.
So I'm a man of faith.
So I felt called to go on this journey, and I did,
and I'm still here, and that's why I'm still doing it.
And so about four years ago, I started
to realize that Connects Urban ASP was more of a strategy
for building relationships.
And so we have beat that drum as hard as possible,
and turns out there is a lot inside of that drum.
So Connects Urban ASP, I have began
to understand via the vision, the results, the data,
all that stuff that comes with it,
is that it bends the relationship building
process from the typical way in which people
develop relationships.
Professionals, anyway.
Also in companies, also at home, and all that
is what I've discovered.
But when you Connects Urban ASP with someone else,
or Connects Urban ASP someone else,
the strategy behind that is to focus on earning trust
so that like and no follow.
The average professional builds relationships
in the form of like, no, and then eventually we've
earned trust.
But this bends that relationship building process
and expedites it to where trust is easier
to be earned smoother, makes a lot more sense
very collaboratively to where trust is being earned
constantly.
Then it's easier to refer each other business
and to whoever they want to meet.
Very good.
There's a lot of profound natures to you,
to what you bring to the table.
I can see and feel that.
All right, so new question.
Haven't asked this to anybody yet.
And it's going to be a staple moving forward
and what we talk about with leaders we bring on the stage.
What's your goal?
What's your goal for being on the show?
And that can be promoting your book, your program.
It can be, you can go with the wrist, wrist, elbow, elbow,
just to raise the world peace thing if you want to.
But what do you want to get out of this?
And what do you hope to give to other people?
Well, number one is always to be of service.
That's always the case.
So if somebody can take something away
from the words in which I use or the collaborative nature
of our conversation, that's always number one.
Number two is, of course, to change the world
one step at a time.
And so I do have a journal that people can buy
and I have a CSA book that will be available,
download version.
And it's really about the service piece.
It's about telling, I mean, if I get something out of it,
that's cool.
That's how I see it.
But I don't serve to get.
I know how to ask to get.
This is straight service to me anyway.
