Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with serial entrepreneur and investor Terry Knight, whose mission is to help people grow, scale, and live with purpose. We talk about faith, family, and what it really means to help a billion people be happy. I share why “I am” is my favorite verse, how doing your best, learning lessons, and having fun shapes my parenting, and why non-negotiable time for sleep, health, and family changes everything. We also discuss losing over $100 million, rebuilding through humility, and why your daily behaviors matter more than today’s evidence.
