Ryan Leak

And I'm just thinking, Ryan, get it together.

And I just...

I felt like internally, my identity, my confidence was based on what other people thought of me.

If other people thought I was looking the part, sounding the part, dressing the part.

But somewhere along the way,

Something shifted.

And the shift for me was I stopped worrying about making an impression and I started focusing on making a difference.

You see, making an impression asked the question, how do I look?

But making a difference asked the question, how can I help?

Making an impression is about perception, but making a difference, well, that's all about contribution.

These days, I like suits.

But I also like sweatpants.

And I recently have joined the golf community and the golf gear is insane now.

I'm out of control.

Y'all, I am absolutely out of control.

But I like a good polo now.

I like dress shoes.

I like Jordans.

But here's the deal.

Here's what I have discovered over time is that I can add value to people's lives regardless of what I am wearing.
