  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey everybody Brian Smith here with the I'm team series and the daily influence.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm an influence, I was born an influence, I was influencing before I was born.
• 0:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: When my parents found out that we, you, I, all of us, when they found out that we were going to be born, we were already influencing.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: We were influencing that area of influence.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: we were born in influence.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that is the foundation of why I say I am we.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am a culmination of all of the influences in my life.
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't all define me, all of the people who have influenced me, don't define who I am today, but they contribute in some way.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: in their time, in their area of influence, in my life, they did something, they influenced me at that time.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: They added a piece, a brick, a piece of sand, it doesn't matter, I am we.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am the culmination of all of that interaction.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so are you.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some of us don't like to hear that.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some of us like to think that, you know, I am who I am because I put so much effort into it.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so smart, or I'm so important, or I'm so successful because of my hard work.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you are, it's true.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: You are successful for those things, but people help you.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: People talk you how to study, people talk you how to focus, people challenge you.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: You made mistakes that taught you lessons.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those mistakes included other people.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Other situations, other areas of influence.
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everything that happened along the way contributed to where you're at today.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everything that happens in the future comes from where you've been.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: You are in this moment because of that path, you are we.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And because of that, we should have a new appreciation for these topics that I've been discussing over the past couple weeks,
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are diverse because of the areas of influence we've come from, because we included ourselves.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: We were inclusive, we engaged, or we didn't engage.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Only you know, if you have a lesson in your life from a lack of engagement or from over engagement, from making decisions out of context, from doing things, even if you self-justified it,
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would argue you probably recognize at some point, even through self-justification that you were wrong, that you contributed to whatever it is you were justified, you contributed to that act, that influence.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I am we.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are made up of all of this, all of these influences.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's why we have this mission, find, be, build your influence.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: our goal and our work is to share with you this path of understanding that your influence is your biggest responsibility.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everything you do influences, it influences yourself, which influences others.
• 4:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: is a huge responsibility.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: It can be over well made when we think about it on its own.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: But when I think about our influence and this dance of life in these areas of influence as we each find ourselves, what can we do with that?
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: How can we slow down and participate better, be more inclusive?
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: How can we engage with those around us?
• 4:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: How can we support those who we can't see your touch, but still be a positive influence for them within our areas of influence?
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not every person has the same amount to give, not every person needs the same amount of support, balancing that and understanding that and accepting it because it's not equal.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But we give two others, we create equity between us.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And when they accept it,
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: graciously, and they participate in their own betterment, they build equity in that also, they build equity in the giving, they build equity in themselves, and they build equity in the results, which will influence them going forward.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And add to their area of influence, whatever that might be for them in the future.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am we, we are in this together.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: This thing called life, this journey that we're all on.
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to together the world's a small place.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Influence has come at us from every direction.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are immune to a gaps.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's always there.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's always on.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even when we try to separate ourselves, it's always somewhere nowadays.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Slow down, listen to our anticipated your area of influence, help others, help yourself.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Be your best self so that when others say, I am way, you will be a positive part of their week.
