It could be a smile when a person is having a rough day.

It's about leaving something behind that makes a positive difference in people's lives.

And so the great news about that, Mick, is no matter where we are in our leadership journey, whether we have the titles and the accolades or not, we can all make an impact.

If we focus on the people that are around us, the gifts, skills, and talents that we've been given, and we look for ways to make others' lives better, we all have an opportunity to make an impact.

Yeah, so you hit on a really important word that kind of encapsulates what Beaconship is about, and it's about being a light.

I have been a person of faith since I was a little kid.

You know, we all have those journeys where we kind of go in and out.

But thank God for redemption and bringing us back home.

Right.

So one of the things that I believe is critical as faith driven leaders is not so much preaching or beating people over the head with things, but being a light in a dark space.

And the reality is in today's world, there is a lot of division.

There is a lot of complexity as leaders.

You are navigating things that maybe you've never dealt with before.

So Beaconship is about taking the wisdom of leaders that have been doing this.

They have blazed the way, whether it's in the nonprofit space, running multi-million and billion dollar companies or in films.

What have these leaders learned that can help the next generation of leaders as they step into their leadership moment?

I believe that as faith-driven leaders, we have the answers to the world's greatest problems, but there is a risk that the wisdom that has been hard won over the years doesn't get passed down.

And that's an urgent call because there's a lot going on in the political space, in the economic space, but also in the financial space, which is a passion for me, having worked so long in the financial space.

Something that's happening right now is that we have leaders that have been able to achieve great success.

They are in that boomer generation category, if you will.
