Summary

In today’s episode, I explain why gratitude, empathy, and accountability form the foundation for real success. I share how mindset and non-negotiable behaviors create outcomes far more reliably than strategy, and why consistent daily actions matter more than perfect plans. From my own bankruptcy to rebuilding everything, I reveal how thanking God for loss reshaped my life and how redefining failure as a “divine detour” restored my purpose. We also explore how to expand dreams instead of ending them, nurture empathy without losing strength, and recognize the meaning we assign to our past as the greatest limiter, or liberator, of our potential.

create behaviors and behaviors are what create outcomes. Strategies are aligned with an outcome

based off of a certainty that doesn't exist.

1:11.7

So so many people live their lives under the context that they actually know what they don't know.

1:16.6

And so with this combination of wisdom and faith, I work from a position of humility that says,

1:21.9
