August 4th, 1984, I believe is a meaningful day for you and your family, why is that? You just hit me like, why'd you do that? You just hit me like a ton of bricks. Give to grow, invest in relationships to build your business and your career. I mean, you're like known as the ultimate giver. The people that drive the biggest change in the world shape the agenda. That's why it's always worth giving generosity is the master key to success. Everything is for the long term. Our brains think linearly, you know, hungry, eat, um, threat, run. But if we give without any expectation of return consistently, we're going to grow that relationship exponentially. How do you utilize this giving mindset of wanting to over-deliver but actually build a business at the same time? Oh, it's so good. This is massively strategic. It's about inspiring and building community. And it's just, it's a way to completely unlock the next level of performance. To be at the top of your game, every hour counts, especially the ones spent sleeping. Lagoon's pillows are designed specifically to support the kind of deep, restful sleep that fuels your next day.
