1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,300
What do you think is your why of what you do?

2
00:00:03,660 --> 00:00:08,660
Well, I am very present to the fact that there is a dash

3
00:00:09,860 --> 00:00:12,800
in between the year I was born and the year I will die.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,140
There's a dash.

5
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:19,060
And I really am present to that as a,

6
00:00:19,060 --> 00:00:20,860
inside of the choices I make

7
00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:23,600
and the way I prioritize my life energy,

8
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:26,740
that ultimately my why,

9
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:31,360
I call myself just basically to myself, a freedom fighter.

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,560
I am that people live as free as possible

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,760
and leadership in particular is the place I focus.

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,960
So why I say freedom is because many times

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,660
people are frustrated trying to be like someone else.

14
00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:50,400
And to me, there isn't any freedom there

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,240
if all you're doing is trying to replicate

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,840
or force who you are from a round peg into a square hole.

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,240
There's always something to learn.

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,100
But I think at the end of the day,

19
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:08,100
we have to be willing to be bold to be our own unique self.

20
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:11,900
So my why really is supporting, starting with me,

21
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:14,800
I interact with myself the same way.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,900
I always say I'm my first customer

23
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,000
that I'm always checking in because I read a lot.

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,640
I listen to a lot of podcasts

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,560
and masterminds and all of these things

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,500
that I don't lose fundamentally what I care about

27
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:30,940
in the midst of all of that support

28
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:33,800
and knowledge and wisdom.

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,140
And I feel the same thing holds true for others

30
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:39,640
that I really want people to own their journey,

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,940
own their path, not allow themselves to get talked into

32
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:51,940
doing something that's not actually authentically them.
