My very first booking after going through training was the Today Show. And if you Google, you see I've been on there several, several times. That's awesome. But the message in this is like, then recently I read the Go-Giver and it's such a good book. I didn't do that humanitarian work so that I could get access to the Today Show. I did it because it was the right thing to do.
And if sometimes when you're lost and escaping the drift, I think this is super important. Live a life of service, live a life of giving back. And when you're lost in the sauce, Can you go to that space of how can I use my experiences to help others and get out of my own way and start getting more clarity and more gratitude?
Because that humanitarian award not only led me to the Today Show in a very funny way, I had gotten that award with Johnson & Johnson. They were the corporate humanitarian award. When I was diagnosed with cancer, The CEO, Alex Gorski, his assistant, Danielle, saw because I'd posted on Facebook that I had cancer.
And she called me and said, Alex Gorski, the CEO of Johnson & Johnson, thank you, was like, whatever you need, Johnson & Johnson is right there. Wow. I was like, well, now I can't die because I got Johnson & Johnson.
I couldn't even like, I was like, oh, this is, I mean, so again, like you're, you know, escaping the drift and understanding like, you know, we all go adrift and we all get lost in the sauce. Sometimes we just have to go back to how can I live a life of service? How can I give back and serve those people
at a space that resonates for me because we all have certain experiences and maybe it is getting tasered in the eye where you learn how to serve and help others through that. It's it, it, there's so many layers to it. So, um, yeah. Yeah.
100%, the more you give, the more you get, which is so cliche, but it is so karmically real. And I remember hearing about this group of kids in like a very urban area, very poor area, and they were always taking handouts. And this teacher came in and was like, we're gonna go ahead and help others in the community.
and so they reversed it and it ended up really empowering them and it was just a game changer for the trajectory of their life so always remember you do have gifts and you are you are we're meant to live a life of service we're meant to use our gifts to serve and help others and i think that's what's always really rerouted me um at all times of like i gotta get back to um i gotta get back to what i'm gonna most feel my legacy is about
just i i identify with what you're talking about so much because i do feel that you know you can't change what's going on that crying falling apart have your moment have your moment and then proceed you know it's not going to change anything what's the great quote um You can't control the waves, but you can learn how to surf.
And just being able to understand, like taking inventory of what you have control over and you don't have control over. You have control over your attitude, your work ethic, and your intention of what you're working towards. Focus on those things and the rest will fall into place. And I do feel, I read J.D. Vance's book. This is where my- Amazing.
I read it early on. Did you read it when it first came out?
It's incredible. Amazing. And the takeaway, and I'm sure this will align with you, resonate with you, my takeaway now i read it when it first came out i don't know when that was um but the takeaway is what he figured out in living growing up in appalachia is that there was a systemic mindset that it was never their fault so if they got fired from a
job even though they were always late or they never showed up on time or they didn't they were no call no show when they ultimately got fired everyone had the same narrative like the it was their fault and you know who do they think they are and like and everybody fed into this narrative and for whatever reason jd vance was able to look at that because he was able to say well you you
you kind of sucked as an employee and you got fired and i remember this like i like i read it yesterday thinking wow that is like so profound and being able to say you know what i'm the master of my own destiny if i constantly blame everyone else i'm never going to solve the i'm never going to solve problems
It is such a great message to really start saying, I'm like, where, what could you have done better? You know, where can you take accountability? And I think this next generation is definitely struggling with that because there's very much like this oppressor and victim and the oppressed. And like, you've got to fall in that paradigm. You can, you know, which is not serving this generation at all.
Like you gotta, everybody's gotta be a victim. Otherwise they're the oppressor. These are your options. Well, I don't want to be an oppressor.
i know you have this i know you have this 14 day 14 day accountability plan people can get talk to me about that i'm just curious yeah no i oh i love doing it there three w's the water walking and writing it's just a great i do resets for people of like all right let's get organized like when you're you're drifting out to see where are the best places to start well for me it's always grab the pen
Grab the notebook and let's start getting organized. And I think when you do things with a team, it makes it that much more accountable. It's like, all right, we're going to do this together. I need to see your post and your steps. And it's just these three W's that really do get you to a better place. There's nothing like walking. Walking is...
Hands down the best exercise that anybody on earth can do. 10,000 steps a day easily. And when you start getting like conscientious, right?
You're going to hit it because now it's, you know.
