and your relationship with others.

And I believe once you pass it on, and you share that with someone else, it creates a natural ripple effect, where they express that gratitude on to someone else in their life.

And that's how it begins.

Walter, I want to ask you a question.

Do you think being told how you mattered to someone's life is different from simply being told you're loved?

It makes me think of a teammate that I had in high school who I've never really told this to, so I probably need to pick up the phone and call Keith because we haven't spoken in years, but he was my teammate and he ended up becoming a state champion runner, ran in

at a collegiate level, was an All-American, missed the Olympics by hundreds of a second.

But he really took me under his wing when he was a junior in high school and I was a sophomore.

And he really taught me to care.

And because he cared a lot about becoming a better runner.

And at that point, I was kind of going through the motions.

And

He brought the rigor and the pride and the esteem and in subtle ways kind of made me think I could be a better person.

I could be a better runner.

I could be I could work harder.

I could develop more grit.

And I've never really shared that with him.

And that kind of carried on with me through the rest of my life.

But it's moments like that.

Very powerful.
