| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, my friends, and welcome to the Live-inspired podcast with John O'Leary for this week's Monday moments. |
| 0:18.5 | I record these on the front side of the week to get you ready for the |
| 0:22.8 | week ahead. I want you to think today just briefly as you start your week as you step into |
| 0:27.3 | your Monday morning about an individual who dramatically influenced your life. You got that person, |
| 0:34.1 | that pastor or that rabbi, that coach, that teacher, that parent, whoever it |
| 0:38.2 | might be that, that one person who really dramatically impacted your life. And then I want you to |
| 0:43.7 | think about a person who dramatically impacted your life that you never even met physically. |
| 0:49.1 | As a young speaker, about one year into this business, I'd done three pretty big events. I did a |
| 0:55.1 | group of Girl Scouts. I did three third grade Girl Scouts. That was a huge event. They did not |
| 1:00.2 | even pay me with the box of Samoas. I did a rotary club where they forgot to even send out my |

| 1:22.8 | sentences together, and I was trying to learn from the best. And one of my friends sent me a video and I think |
| 1:28.0 | he is the best. His name is Andy Andrews and on this video he was talking about the butterfly effect. |
| 1:34.9 | And I remember watching this guy on stage with his persona, with his heart, with the way he |
| 1:40.6 | articulated himself and with the way he moved an entire audience to believe that |
| 1:45.7 | more was possible in their lives. And I knew watching that video that day with Andy Andrews that I wanted to be |
| 1:51.3 | like Andy. I wanted to be like him. And I've been wanting to be like Andy ever since that video. Andy now is |
| 1:57.7 | a friend. He's a guy. I've read everything he's ever written. |
| 2:03.0 | I've listened to everything he's ever spoken. |
