Ed Mylett

He's one of the icons of thought leadership.

Anyway, when we were done, he goes, Ed, you're going to change the world.

And I don't know if he said that to a lot of people or not, but to me, it was incredible.

And he goes, and you're just this big brain.

The way you speak and make people feel things and

You're a very talented man.

And he goes, but that's not why.

And I said, well, he goes, and please never base your self-confidence on or your identity on your abilities or your achievements.

I went, well, what the heck are you supposed to base it on then?

And he said, in your case, your intentions.

You have a warm, huge, beautiful heart.

You want to help people.

And your intentions are so huge.

They're so beautiful that that's why you're going to change the world.

Always focus on your intention.

There's a power to intentions.

He happened to be writing a book by that title at the time.

Long story short, it was the first time someone had complimented me where I believed it.

I've never believed I was that smart or that special or that talented, but I did know I had a good heart.

And so since that day, for the most part, man, even preparing for something like this today, my confidence, my identity comes from my intention to serve my intention to make a difference.
