Rise By Lifting Others
Steve Jobs once said, "You can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking back". Well, what if you're in your early 20's and all you have to look back on is High School and some GEs? In the Rise by Lifting Others podcast we seek out people who have built a meaningful life by making a difference in the lives of others. We ask them tough questions like "How would you do college differently?" and "What did you do when the grind got tough?". We look for ways that the dots all connected for them and look for clues to how our dots will connect as we move ahead. You're not gonna want to miss this.
