THREAD Story time... this is by far the craziest thing to ever happen at one of my keynotes in my life.

Incredible time at @Summit at Sea this weekend, doing a fireside chat with Jeff Orlowski-Yang, director of Netflix’s “The Social Dilemma.” Jeff and I have been working on a secret project together the past few years… very very very excited to share the news with you all later this year :)

@SaniMusa_ Thank you!!!

The Third Door by @AlexBanayan . It’s my most favorite book of all time!

Phone free schools cause --increased laughter in hallways --very loud lunchrooms --increases in books checked out of school library

This is how Steven Spielberg became the youngest major studio director in Hollywood history… The full story is incredible and it’s my favorite Third Door example.

Steve Wozniak vs Steve Jobs… Who was more successful? That question led me to an insight that redefined my understanding of success and happiness.

Steve Jobs explaining what it takes to have a 20+ year vision succeed. This speech by Jobs is the secret to how big things happen in the world…. Consistent effort, ferocious focus, and a lot of time.

This is how Steve Spielberg became the youngest major studio director in Hollywood history… The full story is incredible and it’s my favorite Third Door example.

Mike Bloomberg has a $100b net worth and his story starts…. when he got fired from the job he loved. The final lines of this video resonate so much with me… Video: IG/@mikebloomberg

This is brilliant. Jeff Bezos’s top advice on how to strategize for business success 10 years from now… This applies to business, personal relationships, and so much more if you think about it.

Tony Robbins’ 10min morning routine… this is how he gets his emotional state at peak levels every morning. I’ve tried his system and it works better than I can say.

Napoleon Hill was the #1 success expert of the 20th century. And this was his two-step process to manifesting your biggest goal. It’s so straightforward it might sound silly. But it works. Who wants to reach their goal so bad that they are ready to give this a try?

“No notes.” This story is insane.

How to massively boost your self-esteem in 30 Days? This works and it’s free.

It all comes down to this…. how do you process your rejections? Change your framing on this — and it will change your life.

Matt Damon’s secret to creativity and growth…. This is big. “Don’t judge me on how bad my bad ideas are. Judge me on how good my good ideas are.” We need to give ourselves permission to try new things and swing big. It’s the only way we can discover new ground and push ourselves forward.

Drop a “yes” or an emoji in the comments if you agree…. These are the people that make life worth living.

Dr. Viktor Frankl knew that the dread you're feeling about "what am i doing with my life" is actually good for you. His book "Man's Search For Meaning" explains it perfectly.

This is a little trick to getting unstuck and creating more clarity for your life… on the spot. I’ve done this exercise with executives at Google, Disney, Bank of America, Nike, and more. It works because of how simple it is. And the results will speak for themselves.

This is what they won’t teach you in business school. And it’s what the world’s most successful people all have in common… It’s that “inner scorecard.”
