I was listening to a podcast during an uninspired workout in Newark, Delaware when I heard a prompt that changed the way I thought about my next steps.
There were only two parts:
- Write down the top 5 days of your life.
- Ask yourself, “How can I create more days like these?”
So simple, yet something that I have never done. Aside from meeting the love of my life (which was number one), all of my top five days involved being around passionate people making change in the world.
I realized in that moment that the people I wanted to work with were those who wanted to change the world. I realized that I was one of those people and that there was something missing. There is an electric environment when you get all of these world-changers in a room. After these days I left with unparalleled energy, yet, events this special happen one or two times each year. I couldn’t imagine what I could accomplish if I could spend more time around such inspired and passionate people.
I decided that I had to make something for these people because I felt the pain of trying something new. I felt the loneliness of realizing most people don’t want to change anything, but I knew the joy of finally connecting with my tribe. I had to write a book for people like me. Young world-changers who felt disconnected and misunderstood.
