  and Billy Graham said, courage is contagious. When one brave soul takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened. And so what does courage look like in your life?

  I'm not playing anybody else's game now. I'm mindful and respectful of those around me, but I just have courage that comes from within. It's not an arrogance. It's not a sense of overconfidence. It's the peace of mind that comes all. This is why I do what I do, and this is what I truly believe. And I'm gonna have the freedom to kind of be who I am in those moments.

  And why is that contagious? Because when you show up in a courageous mindset, when you have the courage to tackle difficult problems and you have the courage to live according to your values, when you have the courage to be inspired by your vision, you give other people that permission as well and imagine what you could accomplish if your team starts acting with a little bit of courage.

  And it's so easy to look outward and and look at the environment, to look in the culture and kind of think, man, if I could only do this, if we could only accomplish this, what might it look like? And so the challenge for you, the challenge for me, the challenge for your team, the challenge for your family, it start acting like you believe.

  What are your values? What's your vision? What's your purpose? And it's got to be greater than your profit. It's got to be greater. Your purpose has to be greater than your profit. It's got to be greater than the processes that you have in place. And imagine what it would feel like if you just showed up with a little bit more courage today.
