And as we were talking about the Square journey, and he's

a repeat entrepreneur, I was asking him like, what is the biggest thing that you coach entrepreneurs about?

And he said, well, there's always an inherent problem that needs to be solved.

So as you were giving these keynotes and you're a real prolific keynote speaker and congrats on now being part of the Passion Struck.

Speakers Bureau, love having you.

Thank you for that.

Was there a consistent problem that you realized that there was a gap that led you to writing The Solution Mindset?

And what was that gap?

Man, I love that.

And anytime I write a book, I try to think of the audience for it.

I try to think of the approach.

In the solution mindset, you end up coming up with 10 superpowers.

But I imagine there's always a multi-year cycle that goes into writing one of these.

When you were creating this, were you thinking at first, this is for individuals, this is for companies?

And how did you...

Well, in my work on mattering, one of the things that I have found is that superpowers are innate in everyone.

But I think what ends up happening, why people oftentimes don't feel like they matter is because they remain dormant because we don't know how to turn them on.

How did you go about showing that in the solution mindset that these weren't just superpowers, but they're superpowers that

you don't just have, but you actually can use.

So these are, in some cases, everyday heroes who are doing amazing things.
