Happy to be with you here, helping you kick the week off with something quick and actionable that you can implement right away that will make you more magnetic and effective.

SPEAKER_00
Today I want to tell you a little quick story.
0
SPEAKER_00
When I was in law school years and years ago, almost a decade now, I was on this island called Curacao taking some legal classes during one of the winter breaks.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was an easy way to get some credit, and it was kind of a vacation-y type deal.
0
SPEAKER_00
And one of the professors there, his name was Gil, and he was working for Baltimore or something like that.
0
SPEAKER_00
He was the dean, and he was a great professor and a really cool teacher, really laid-back guy.
0
SPEAKER_00
And we were actually finalizing the first podcast website during his class instead of listening on some crappy island Wi-Fi talking with AJ back and forth.

SPEAKER_00
And I had to give a presentation, so I went up there, kind of winged it, kind of prepared a little bit, but, you know, did a decent job for somebody on a tropical island during the middle of Christmas break.

SPEAKER_00
And after the presentation, he stopped and he said, look, Jordan, you ve got a natural aptitude for this.
0
SPEAKER_00
You should really become some kind of teacher.
0
SPEAKER_00
And, of course, I kind of said, what are you talking about?
0
SPEAKER_00
And shrugged it off and went back to my seat.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I never forgot about that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I went on to do the coaching thing, do the podcast here that you re listening to right now, and I remember his encouragement in this area.
0
SPEAKER_00
Later, I tracked him down through a mutual friend, and I let him know via email how he had shaped my hobby, which became my business, and led to the podcast you re listening to literally right now.
0
SPEAKER_00
So, in your life, homework for this week.
0
SPEAKER_00
Track down and thank someone who has helped shape you.
0
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t matter how long ago it was.
0
SPEAKER_00
Use Facebook, use LinkedIn, including and especially using mutual friends who might know this person, where they can be found, etc.
0
SPEAKER_00
See what a little thank you, even decades later, can be worth to someone.
