And while working with these gentlemen and giving them powerful first experiences,

I realized it was shaping their identities in a positive way, but it was also increasing their cultural and their social capital.

An individual has cultural capital because of the environment that they come from.

The knowledge, skills and belief of that environment can be seen as capital or an asset.

And having the combination allows an individual to have economic advantages and other advantages.

And when you collect powerful first experiences, you're collecting cultural capital from different environments.

Social capital is a set of shared values and resources that allows individuals to come together to achieve a common goal.

It can also be thought of as the ability to access resources and favors and information from your network.

Countless connections are fostered when the gentlemen develop intimate relationships in places such as Paris, London and even Montana, as they spend time with locals, entrepreneurs and even venture capitalists.

They develop a more expansive network and idea of the world.

And increasing cultural and social capital doesn't just benefit the gentlemen, it also benefits the communities that they bless with their presence.

And a powerful first experience changes the way you see yourself and the way you see the world.

Going to Big Sky changed the way that I saw the world, the way that I saw myself and what I wanted to do in the world.

Instead of waiting for my cycle of experiences to repeat themselves, doing the same things over and over, I decided to go out into the world and collect powerful first experiences.

And a powerful first experience can be anything.

It's all about intention.

The most important part of a powerful first experience or a PFE is intention.

Anyone can have them.

You don't have to have capital or have started an organization.

You don't even have to be a G. You just have to be thoughtful about two things.
