The thing that links both, Anthony, is that they've understood the power of being the light in the room.
And to throw in another guest that's joined us on High Performance, it was Will.i.am who came on and said, be a spark of light.
He said, if you're a spark of light, you get more chances to bat.
If you're the spark of light and things go wrong, people are rooting for you.
We underestimate the importance of what we can do as individuals, particularly in a world where there's 24 hour revolving news, where the world seems so big and so muddled.
We just think, well, how can I impact the world?
I'm just an individual.
There's nothing I can do.
Well, the first thing to remember is if you go back through history,
Basically, it's either individuals or small groups of individuals that have always changed the world.
So I have a reminder to anyone that listens to high performance is you start by being the light in the room.
You walk into a room and you act like a thermostat, not a thermometer.
A thermometer just tells you the temperature.
A thermostat goes in and thinks, nah, man, I'm changing the temperature.
And it's a beautiful way to live.
It's kind of impacted the way that we live.
So if I take my kids, I've got a 10 and 13 year old.
If we go to the park and there's five or six benches around a play area and there's one person on one bench, I will go and sit on the bench next to the person and just spark up a conversation.
Everyone knows something that you don't.
And I think all of these high performers that we have on the show, they have become explorers.
