Summary

Can selfless acts help you achieve your goals? It may sound counterintuitive that investing time into others can help you achieve your goals, but Richard Lui has the data that proves selflessness pays major dividends for the giver and the receiver.

Veteran journalist Richard Lui has more than 30 years in television, film, technology, and business. He's the first Asian American man to anchor a daily national cable news program, and a team Emmy and Peabody winner. He joins me for a conversation to teach you how to find the hidden power of selflessness and how it will help you to reach your goals.

0:00.0	Hey everyone and welcome to the All It Takes Is A Go podcast, the best place in the entire
0:07.0	world, including all of Canada, to learn how to build new thoughts, new actions, and new
0:12.5	results.
0:14.5	I'm your host John Ackum and today I've got a really fun conversation with Richard
0:27.9	Louie. Richard is a journalist with 30 years of experience and entrepreneur and an author.
0:33.4	I wanted to talk to him because his recent book Enough About Me teaches you how to make

1:34.5	Whether I'm opening, closing, or somewhere in the middle of the event, I want to launch
1:38.4	everyone out of that room with actionable, memorable things that they can apply to their work
1:43.4	and lives immediately. Number two, my second goal. I want the sound team engaged in laughing.
