Class Transcript

How do we create, maintain, and grow ongoing support so that we can have a most memorable year after year? To frame this whole concept of support, I challenge you to think of one thing you need no support in doing. I challenge you to come up with one thing that you can do without the support of anyone else, anything else at all.

What’s one thing you can do with no support from anyone or anything? It’s a trick question, because in all reality, absolutely everything I do, and I will throw this bold statement out there, everything you do, requires support. From the most simple, basic, taking a breath, requires the support of all sorts of organisms to create the air that I breathe.

To live, I can’t begin to put my finger on the hundreds of thousands of lives that I require to support me. When I stop and I think of all the people involved in creating the food I eat. The clothes I wear. The electricity I use. The water I drink. The roads I walk on. The planes I fly in.
