    Drew Dudley | The Secret to Winning the Game Is to Not Play the Game

    "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.

    Shaun Clark | Making an impact not a career

    The birth of the SaaS juggernaut "High Level".  How Shaun landed the perfect summer job when no internships were hiring.  Deciding to leave school just one year from graduation.  Staying humble when everything is going really well.  Surrounding yourself with people much smarter than you.   "If I was in school today, I would pause and like go out and and just try to work in the job that I thought I wanted. Because that's the other thing I think is very difficult for people is that ultimately, you know, you think you want something, you have an idea, but when you really get out there, it's totally different and you may hate it. So the sooner you learn that, the better." -Shaun Clark If you enjoyed the show, be sure and share this with a friend. Also, think about leaving us a review.

    When I first had the idea for the podcast in 2020, I decided to reach out to two people in my life who have always exemplified "Rise by Lifting Others".

So after more than two years, it's my privilege to introduce you to two people who have profoundly impacted the way I look at living...
