Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1,823. I recently heard a story about Steve Jobs, how he saw a cabinet. He was fascinated by it. He thought it was beautiful. And then he decided to do something to test how beautiful it really is.

cabinet wasn't beautiful because whoever created it got sloppy with the part that they thought

nobody else would notice they were only focused on part, the outside part where everyone could see.

But they didn't pay attention to, they didn't give attention to details on the part that

not everyone sees.

And he goes on to say that the entire product is beautiful, which is why it led him to making

show the fans. We want to show our friends. We want to show the people at work, our best sides. However,

heart, we can sometimes get really sloppy and we can sometimes not give our best effort.
