Love it.

And then this next one, like we talked about, is really how do you make other people feel like they matter?

And so doing so, it makes you feel like you matter more in more ways than you can possibly even comprehend.

Yeah, Walter, one of the ideas I've been exploring is something that I call pass the ripple.

And it's a challenge for youngsters, like four to 10 year olds, that significance doesn't stop with one person, it propagates.

So what the whole premise of this is,

to give a platform.

There's no cost similar to you.

I didn't do it to make any money, but what it's supposed to do is to encourage people to do acts of gratitude because I think youngsters, as we've been talking about, need to realize that one act of recognition can alter how someone shows up in every single relationship after that.

How does your initiative

build that out?

After someone watches this documentary, they get this additional coursework, what have you seen as the ripple effect that then happens afterwards?

And Walter, I have two last, I think, fairly quick questions for you.

We started off the interview today talking about the first phase of your life was knowing me.

The second phase was making me.

You call this phase that you're in becoming me.

Who are you still becoming?

I'm so glad to be able to have the opportunity to talk to you because I can't tell you how many times I have spoken to people who are in their third trimester of life.

And let's say that third trimester starts when you're 60, just to give it a number who tell me.

Your book about intentionality and how to build a life of significance would have been great when I was in my 20s, maybe even my 30s, but it's irrelevant to me now.
