Sometimes, all it takes is a small change in perspective to transform how we see the world. Riding a Ferris wheel is the perfect metaphor—without traveling far, we’re lifted high enough to see things differently. From above, what once seemed overwhelming or insurmountable feels smaller, and what felt insignificant might suddenly appear full of possibility. This simple shift can inspire us to reframe our challenges and approach life with fresh eyes. Life is often about finding those Ferris wheel moments—small changes that help us see the bigger picture. We don’t need to travel miles or move mountains to gain clarity; sometimes, stepping back and shifting how we view the same scene is enough to reignite our passion, recalibrate our purpose, and remind us of what truly matters. What would your world look like from a new vantage point?

On the rooftop where I live, there's a view of Scottsdale, Arizona. And particularly at night when you're up there looking down at the city facing north, there's a Ferris wheel. And every night this Ferris wheel's lit up different colors and it really stands apart from everything else. A few nights ago, I was up there walking around, kind of getting some fresh air before I called it a day, and
My brain took me on one of these little side quests, right? I just could not stop thinking about this Ferris wheel. And it turns out for good reason. And so per standard operating procedure, I want to take you on this little journey with me. So let's start with a simple question, really. What is a Ferris wheel? Well, it's a portal to see the world differently. Think about it.
People take time to travel to it. They wait in line. They pay money to get on this thing, which, by the way, doesn't move fast. It's not an adrenaline rush or anything. It's merely a chance to get to the top and see a view, a view of the same place these people were just walking around, the exact same place, the same place they live, same place they spend their days, same place they drive around.
But they knew there was something beautiful about seeing all that stuff from atop the Ferris wheel, from a new lens, a fresh perspective. They knew that it would feel different up there because it is different up there, right? And this is sort of an obvious thing. The beauty exists if only we can get ourselves atop this circle-shaped elevator thing and prove it to ourselves.
And I'll speak for me, okay? There are days where I walk around and I feel excited. I feel energized by life's upside, enthusiastic about what I'm bringing to the world. And then there are days where I walk that very same path, retrace those very same steps, and I don't see it. I don't feel it. Things seem difficult, impossible, colorless. but I've danced this dance.
And I know it's not a reflection of reality. It's merely the story I'm telling myself in that moment. So how do I solve for it? What do I need? I need to get to the top of the Ferris wheel. I need a new perspective on this. Not something new, but a new perspective. I know there's magic right here. I just happen to have blinders on at the moment.
The other day I was talking to a friend of mine who is a YouTube data, we'll say analyst, a very good one, a strategic thinker. And we're going over some stuff. He's looking at the watch time and retention of some of my videos. And he goes, you know, man, this retention is really, really good. A lot of people watch these 30 to 60 minute videos all the way through, which is very rare on YouTube.
And then he kind of makes the offhanded remark, you know, you could be the next Tony Robbins if you wanted to. And I say that not as a humble brag, he was half, you know, playing around. But for a second, right, hearing that, I was like, man, Ed, Did you forget the type of impact you could have? You could help more people. You can do so much more. You're still at the base of this mountain.
Infinity is right outside. If you're willing to dive deeper. If you're willing to see it. And it was this jolt of, hell yeah, just excitement. I felt myself going up that Ferris wheel. Which is exactly what he was for me in that moment, right? In a sense, elevating my perspective. And isn't it funny how when things click or suddenly we feel ourselves capturing momentum, right?
