  and everything that we do.

  So please keep sending your questions, your ideas, your thoughts and comments. And this is just a way to try to be relevant.

  And so we got the World Cup kicking off,
• 0:20
  it's really neat to think about this world Cup, which is one of the greatest sporting events in the world. And there's a couple of ideas that I think we can take from these teams representing their country, playing for something greater than themselves and coming together to pursue a worthy goal. I think that's what sports really does.

  It can unify us and help us show our passion for our country and for each other. And so when you think about these teams coming together, you're taking the best players in the world that maybe are playing in different professional leagues, in different parts of the world,

  for different teams. And, and they're coming together with a very unified goal.
• 0:58
  We're going to win the World Cup.
• 1:00
  So so this selection process we're taking these highly talented, highly skilled individuals who are the best at what they do. And they might have to play a different role on the World Cup team.
• 1:13
  And why is it so important? Because some fundamental principles I believe when you know what you really want, you know what you're willing to give up to get it and greatness does not occur in isolation, nor does it occur at a selfish ambition. You cannot be the best version of you without helping others, and you cannot be the best version of you without receiving help.
• 1:31
  And so it's this team's coming together. And how do we build team chemistry? How do we build a common connection, and what can we do in our own life to create that one? What are you what are the worthy goal is you're pursuing in your life? Who are you inviting to be a part of the team? What role are you playing on the team?
• 1:49
  Whether that's your family, whether that's your business, whether that's your work, and if you got a clear vision of what you want to accomplish, who you want to become, and what's really important in your life. Because what I love, watching these teams come together is tough times and adversity, and they're all going to face some level of adversity during this World Cup can either tie you together or tear you apart.
• 2:14
  And so how do we interpret success? How do we interpret failure? And it's awesome to see these players sacrifice themselves to be a part of something greater. So what does that really look like in your life? How are you interacting with your team and your family with some passion about what you do, with some passion about who they are with some humility?
• 2:35
  Are you willing to humble yourself to be a part of something greater? Say, I believe we were created to be a part of something greater than ourselves. And then are you curious? How can you help somebody else be better? How can you improve your life? What are you doing in your life right now to get a little bit better and to be a little bit better?
• 2:53
  To be the person, your family, your company, your team need you to be. I think that what's awesome about this World Cup experience and what we can learn from watching this and watching these great players be a part of something greater that they're playing for their country and not playing for themselves. So thanks for joining us. And until next time, continue to be better and pursue better.
