I read the book and literally all these years later, I'm like 30 years of age and I'm living on top. I'm already known as the life coach to the stars. I'm talking to people like Charlton Heston, Elliot Gould, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Vidal Sassoon, Lee Iacocca. And my life had exploded into this amazing place. getting over a thousand invitations a year to speak.

And I'm going to Maui to speak, 30 years of age. And I'm sitting in first class with this very classy lady next to me. And she's in her 70s. We started to talk and she says, young man, I've been watching you before we got on the plane, you walk like you walk on clouds. And I said, oh, that's interesting. She goes, no, you have this real thing about you, this real piece about you.

She goes, no, you have this real thing about you, this real piece about you.

And she says, tell me about your background. So we talked a little bit. I could tell she was very, very smart and was definitely somebody that was accomplished. But at that point, I didn't know who she was. So she said, who are some of your early influences? And for some reason, I decided to tell that story of the sixth grade teacher. And I said, and he gave me a choice of books.

And I said, and he gave me a choice of books.

And she said, well, which book did you choose? I said, I chose a book about the life of Michelangelo. And then she gave me a kind of an interesting look. And she said, do you remember the name of the book? I said, yeah, it was The Agony and the Ecstasy. She goes, do you remember the name of the writer? I said, yeah, it was Irving Stone. And she says, that would have been my husband.

And she says, that would have been my husband.

My name is Gene Stone. And she started crying. So the fact that Jean Stone's husband, Irving Stone, wrote that book that helped change my life when my sixth grade teacher gave it to me. And she was the editor of that book. And then we became friends. She was a very powerful lady in Beverly Hills. I later moved to Beverly Hills, not far from her. And we became very good friends.

I mean, what an amazing story.

I mean, what an amazing story.

I really do believe this, that if you build your spot, life will put the spotlight on your spot. So my spot was to be very good in understanding human beings. So my doctorate is in world religion and then master's in counseling therapy. So that was a spot I built. I never built that spot thinking that I would become really well known for building that spot. At all. But I wanted to build it.

So when I say build it, I call it the law of the harvest. You got to plow the ground. You got to plant the seed. You have to water the seed and then you get the harvest. So I was constantly studying, constantly learning. constantly serving, plowing, planting, watering is repetition. And then the harvest came. But the harvest came so much more than I ever thought would happen.

And that was through this ability to help people that people in the entertainment business started to see. And very famous people that we were raised watching their movies. I mean, the most famous. started to look for me.

I'm very non-traditional in the way I approach this. I think that the average book would say you have to find a way in the room. I do think that that is one way. Even the community that you've created is a great room to be in. Because like attracts like. And there's things that we can learn from each other and gain from each other than possibly collaborate through the power of partnership.

So that's one way. And the other thing is that a lot of people think that, oh, I need to get to know that person. That person is doing what I like to do. What would it take? I need to get to that person. I don't think that way. I think I may want that person's ideas so I might read their book. I may want to know more about them so I may read articles about them or I may watch a documentary.
