Steve Jobs once said, "You can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking back". Well, what if you're in your early 20's and all you have to look back on is High School and some GEs? In the Rise by Lifting Others podcast we seek out people who have built a meaningful life by making a difference in the lives of others. We ask them tough questions like "How would you do college differently?" and "What did you do when the grind got tough?". We look for ways that the dots all connected for them and look for clues to how our dots will connect as we move ahead. You're not gonna want to miss this.

    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.  That's the moment I asked myself, "Do I want to matter or do I want to look impressive?" And I decided I'd like to try to do both, but if you matter, that looks impressive.  You know how I know? Because 2000 people came to say goodbye to a 23 year old.  Not because of his grades, not because of his money, not because of his athletic prowess.  They went because he made them feel safe and that they mattered." -Drew Dudley

    Cole Barton | It's as simple as deciding that I will

    Growing an Ecom business to 500k in revenue in 6 months. Using that cash to buy a plane and become a commercial pilot. Starting a flight school to fund a dream of becoming a fighter jet pilot.  All before the age of 23.  If these sound like exaggerated click bate headlines, then you need to take a listen to Cole Barton's story. Cole was one of the funnest guests we've had on the podcast to date. He's an amazing example of defining what he wants out of life and then finding unconventional ways to bring that goal to life.

    Emmanuel Nnah | The guy that knows as much about Ferrari's as Enzo himself

    What do you do after working your dream job for a year and deciding it's not for you? Starting a luxury car dealership with a single car bought on a loan. The thing that made Eman a great employee AND a great entrepreneur.  Even as an employee, you can Rise by Lifting Others within your own organization. Emmanuel Nnah is on our show today with an unlikely story of Entrepreneurship.  “I think a lot of people approach a job with the mindset of , "What can I get out of this company and how can I get out of here onto my next thing as quick as possible?" But you mentioned a couple of times that there was a priority… You approached bamboo with the mentality of, "How can I bring something to the table here, how can I add value? How can I stick around long enough to make a difference, not just because of my pay going up, but because I believe in this organization?" I mean, that is Rising by Lifting Others.” -Emmanuel Nnah If you enjoyed the show, be sure and share this with a friend. Also, think about leaving us a review.

    Paul Jenkins | Hitting the outer rings over and over until you find your bullseye

    The secret isn’t to do more, it’s to do the right thing. How Paul went from a busy, bankrupt practice, to a busy profitable one. It’s not the THING that’s the problem, it’s the THINK. The role of trial and error in finding your calling in life. Using the people close to you to identify your blind spots. Dr. Paul Jenkins has been accused of being pathologically positive, here’s his story. “I am a professional psychologist. My job is to help people figure out how to operate the equipment of their own brain and I've developed models and theories around that that help people to actually see how to run the equipment, because it's not about the thing, it's about the think.” -Dr. Paul Jenkins Link to Dr. Paul’s free e-book for Rise By Lifting Others Listeners only: drpauljenkins.com/rblo If you enjoyed the show, be sure and share this with a friend.

    Nick Fuhrman | An unusual approach to helping students build confidence in themselves

    The 45 mins that changed Nick's entire life. How Nick stuck with something that filled him with passion and purpose. Nick's unusual approach to helping students build confidence and develop essential soft skills. Some of the things that make a fantastic teacher. Some universal principles for overcoming stage fright and how to present in front of a crowd with passion. The true motive behind a good teacher. Nick's approach to preparing and delivering a viral TED talk. This was one of my absolute favorite interviews to date. Nick Fuhrman is the type of guy that wears everything on his sleeve and holds nothing back, he certainly did so for this interview. "I'm very, very humbled that students realize how genuinely I care about their success and that there's nothing that we can't work out together. I'm not in this to show them how much I know I'm not in this to figure out what they don't know. I'm in this to challenge them and prepare them to be successful." -Nick Fuhrman Link to Nick's TEDx talk, "The One Thing All Great Teachers Do" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwTpfVQgkU0 If you enjoyed the show, be sure and share this with a friend.

    Matt Smith | A curiosity driven adventure

    The art of putting yourself in situations that force you to learn. Thinking about things differently - every time.  The ultra-wide, gray line of business ethics and why it pays off to never cross it. Being a part of the birth and creation of a tech unicorn, and then walking away. Making decisions based on alignment and inspiration rather than salary and job-security. Pursuing impact instead of wealth. The art of teaching and engaging High Schoolers.  This interview is about as varied and wide ranging as Matt Smith's story. Enjoy! "I firmly believe that now is the time to give. And if you're making ten bucks an hour, you know, you figure out how you can give, and if you're not making any money, you figure out how you can do it because everyone has resources, you know, it doesn't have to be money. But the more I give, the more I have realized that the beneficiary is the giver." If you enjoyed the show, be sure and share this with a friend. Also, think about leaving us a review.

    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.

    Steve & Corey Neff | Our very first interview ever!

    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".  Because of some newbie mistakes with recording equipment, I thought this interview would never be shared with the world. Luckily I stumbled upon someone who was able to bring the audio back to life!  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 a life of meaning and service. The full story on how I met Steve & Corey and what they've taught me is in the episode, so here's just a few things that we'll cover: Why the best decisions are sometimes the ones you don't want to make. What making time for service looks like when you have the rest of your life to worry about. Why serving others is better when you get to share it with others. We sometimes start out doing the right thing for the wrong reason, and that's ok.  If you enjoyed the show, be sure and share this with a friend. Also, think about leaving us a review.
