I'm so happy that I learned to like books instead of social approval because

it's chasing social approval man that will always work out for the worst especially in

that environment.

Those are the people you're trying to get the approval of.

I just wanted to learn.

Welcome to the Jordan Harvanger Show.

As always I'm here with my producer Jason DeFilippo on this episode.

We'll be talking with my friend Ed Lattimore.

He grew up in the public housing projects in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

He learned a lot.

I mean this is like a present environment.

He learned perseverance to adversity but of course he also became highly aware of himself

and how much our environment affects us.

And today we'll discover what Ed learned from growing up in one of the worst environments

in America and how he turned this upbringing into a set of advantages for himself.

We'll also discuss why it's never too late to make big changes in your life and how

to kick off that process if you're feeling like you're too old or you're too stuck to make

that happen.

Next we'll explore how one of his biggest defeats resulted in a lesson or set of lessons

in rebuilding from the ground up and what we can all learn from the quest to kill our own

ego so we can move forward.

Enjoy this episode with Ed Lattimore.
