It may be sharing a smile. It may be just really intently listening to somebody. It may be calling, using somebody's name and remembering their name and making them feel special. There's so many ways to to be generous. And the more you do it, the easier it becomes and the more you realize all the different ways. And of course, we list all of those ways in the book. And in the book, there's 12.

I talk about famous leaders that I've worked with and so forth. In the book, there are 12 incredibly successful people that we interviewed and asked them how generosity has played into their success and how they've been generous in their lives. It's great to not only practice it yourself, but to understand how other people have done it.

Yeah, I do both. Sometimes when I'm traveling, it's easier to do on the phone. But the hardest thing in life is doing anything consistently. So I have done it consistently for 600 days, every day. And there are a few other things that I do consistently every single day, but I'm not going to I'm not going to go into those now because I also I think you need to be generous with yourself.

So there are some things I do exercise wise every single day for the last 600 days. And that's my way of being generous with myself. documenting your generosity and what you appreciate in life. When you appreciate more, when you understand, when you become good at appreciation, you become much better at being generous.

I think... Maybe I've created an evangelist of generosity over there.

It's been a pleasure chatting with you. I think you have a generous spirit and I appreciate that. If there's anything I can do to help or anything you want to do in the future, you just let me know.

In my very early days, probably at the age of 16, I had a young mentor. And that mentor actually gave me a formula about being successful. And part of it was just believing that I could be successful. And then part of it was living a good life, being a generous person. And I believed him. So at a very early age, I had very high aspirations.

I grew up in a small town called Milton-Freewater in Oregon. only about 3,500 people in the town. And yet I believed at that point, I would someday run a company that was over a hundred million in revenue with hundreds of employees. And I believed it right from the very beginning. To augment that, interestingly enough, my mom He's one of the most generous people that you will ever meet.

The combination of my kinkle, my mentor, and my mom as my mentor in generosity led me to this simple formula that I would become successful by making other people successful. It's pretty simple, but I will tell you why. is magic and it worked. I had tremendous success and my goal is really to pass it on and help others do the same because not only was it very good formula, it was a lot of fun.

It's a great question because there is a lot of exchange, as Adam Grant talks about in leadership, where I do something for you and I expect you to do something for me. But great leaders, great servant leaders, care about the person, not just the work being done. They care about the person's family. They care about the person's life. They help them grow, in many cases,
