He's probably the most inspiring person in my life, but he had this one infuriating flaw. Early on, as a parent, two little boys, they would spill milk and I I would explode in rage. I felt like I'd become my dad. I saw the effect on them, the immediate impact, the sense of that fugue state of panic that they experienced when that rage came out. I had to train myself to not be my dad.

and to be a different type of father, to have all of his inspiring traits, but not take on that one frustrating flaw. That, again, gets back to the power of reflection. I could reflect on my experience. I could reflect from where it came from, but I could also then plan and make commitments and put in practices in place to prevent them from happening in the future.

Leaders are made because there is a universal set of characteristics that make someone inspiring. We can study those, learn those, practice those and develop those skills. It also means that it's our current behavior that inspires or infuriates. So that means that you could be inspiring today, but you could slide towards the inferior end of the continuum tomorrow.

But it also means no matter how bad you are today, tomorrow you can be a little bit better.

That's a great question. I think that there are so many different moments that we can think of in our lives that really matter. To me, probably one of the biggest moments of my life was not just a single moment in time, but a little bit longer is in

When I was a junior, after my junior in high school, before my senior high school, I went and lived with a family in Yogyakarta, Indonesia for three months. And that was just such a transformative experience to be on the other side of the world, to be in a very different culture. The family I lived in was solidly middle class, but I had to use the bathroom and a hole in the ground.
