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.

"I was living my life for the piece of paper. Jason Abraham lived his life for the guys that brought it to him in the hospital...
And when I held up my double sided sheet of paper, my whole identity next to his, I realized two things:
1. I was more impressive on paper.
2. He mattered more than I did.
That's the moment I asked myself, "Do I want to matter or do I want to look impressive?"
And I decided I'd like to try to do both, but if you matter, that looks impressive.
You know how I know? Because 2000 people came to say goodbye to a 23 year old.
Not because of his grades, not because of his money, not because of his athletic prowess.
They went because he made them feel safe and that they mattered."
