Summary

In today’s episode, I share how living with gratitude, responsibility, and honesty can turn coincidence into purpose and purpose into legacy. From a formula for luck to lessons learned after losing $100 million, I explain why freedom isn’t about doing whatever you want—it’s about doing what you love for the sake of others. I talk about building communities that thrive on service, where people buy from each other, sell for each other, and grow together. Real success isn’t found in followers or likes but in creating a network rooted in truth, humility, and faith that compounds for generations.

the coinciding of the universe with this amazing place. I have a favorite quote that I wish I would

have learned when I was young. And it's simply, you're either humble or you're about to be.

And every day, it keeps coming up in my life. And as I have visited over 200

supposed to be on stage at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Do I really have time? The school that I really hadn't
