Some people are meant to have the aspiration of influencing a billion people. Yeah, there are some people that are not meant to do that. They can't even think about that. They want to look through a microscope, an electron microscope, and they want to influence a nano. They can't think in terms of billions. Does that make it any less significant?
No, it does not, because everything that happens is the product of every other thing that's happening in the world simultaneously. So I think we're the problem here. because we assign the value to what we believe to be true that I don't think represents what it really is. Like, for example, a teammate may enable the team star to get the MVP, but was the MVP
more valuable than the person that gave the MVP what they needed to do their job correctly. You can't say that that's true. It's not. Every one of us, I think that we should look at team as like a linkage rather than a hub with spokes. It's a linkage where each of the links in the chain
someone that possesses that spot and their unique contribution contributes to the integrity of the whole, therefore the output capacity of the team is the sum total of all the parts, which you can't really separate one being more important than the other, because in a certain sense, it's really not.
And I feel that far too often the rule is people dramatically discount the value of what they do because they're comparing themselves against everybody else's yardstick. And I don't think that we should be doing that. You know, there's only one of us. And if we take ownership of what we're best at, we're passionate about what we're doing and we're giving tremendous value to humanity.
We're honoring our gifts. We're showing other people what's possible. We're saying thank you to those people that helped us while we're creating those things that are unique to us. To me, man, to me, that's the champion. The champion is not the hyperachiever that mows everybody down in the process to get what he wants. That's a self-serving narcissist, in my opinion.
So there's this whole other definition that I think that we need to encourage each other to pursue, which is our uniqueness and our unique gifts.
I would say, what is the skill that you need to build that you don't have, but you need?
I can be absolutely explicitly clear on this. Number one, the reason why I made an Olympic team, I showed my art in the best galleries in New York City, why I've worked with some of the greatest political achievers of our time, is that I was fearless in showing up and answering the call when me, Jeff,
gets the insight and I get the calling to show up and do something, I'm fearless about doing that. And so I'm not particularly ambitious about creating something to grandstand and showcase myself because I don't care about that.
I do, though, care deeply about being able to answer the call that if I have been called into service to do anything like adopting my daughter, I will show up faithfully and fearlessly to execute that to the nth degree.
Well, probably the best place is t.me slash champions experience. You know, that's my, you know, telegram. And that's where it kind of posts what I'm doing and what I'm up to. That would be by far the best place to go to see where I am and what I'm up to next.
Well, I can't say enough for the opportunity. Be well. Remember, everybody, there's always room at the top for the best. Be well. We'll talk soon.
