    The Power of Daily Consistency

    George Wright III asks listeners to assess how their year is going and why they may feel stuck, emphasizing that overthinking rarely produces solutions and that answers are found through action and progress. He presents “the mastermind” as a single strategy that can change results by providing daily focus, perspective, and mentorship across core areas like mind, body, money, business, and lifestyle. Wright explains that while decisions and commitments matter, consistency is the real key, and consistency is built through habits and non-negotiable daily rituals. He encourages finding the “one thing” domino—such as podcasts or a daily masterminding routine—that keeps you consistent, aligns with timing for breakthroughs, and shifts focus off yourself to reduce limiting emotions. 00:00 Year Check In 00:47 Why You Feel Stuck 02:27 Action Beats Overthinking 03:25 Power of a Mastermind 04:28 Podcasts as Daily Mentors 06:08 Timing and Core Areas 07:00 Consistency Through Rituals 08:16 Find Your One Thing 10:36 Breakthroughs Need Consistency 12:04 Take Focus Off Yourself Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    Act in Spite of Your Mood

    George Wright III opens the Monday Daily Mastermind episode by highlighting persistence as a key prosperity principle and “difference maker,” tied to his third prosperity pillar: “I act in spite of my mood.” Citing Napoleon Hill and Calvin Coolidge, he argues that lack of persistence prevents people from achieving goals and that persistence is a cultivatable state of mind. He outlines ways to build it: definiteness of purpose, strong desire, self-reliance, definite plans and scheduling, applied knowledge, a cooperative mastermind group, using willpower strategically, and preparation through daily rituals and habits. He frames persistence as a decision—“it’s not over until you win”—and shares examples of repeated rejection and failure from NASA, Tim Ferriss, Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Einstein, Edison, Dr. Seuss, Jack London, van Gogh, Michael Jordan, and J.K. Rowling. 00:00 Monday Prosperity Focus 01:29 Pillar Three Act Anyway 02:56 Why Persistence Wins 04:55 Persistence Is Trainable 05:52 How To Build Persistence 09:00 Decide Despite Your Mood 09:51 Famous Persistence Stories Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    Burned Out or Bored Out with Mitch Matthews

    George Wright III hosts Mitch Matthews on The Daily Mastermind to discuss clarity, focus, and “what’s next” for high achievers. Matthews explains that many executives and entrepreneurs can detail goals for their organizations but struggle to define what’s next for themselves, often because success narrows perceived options. He distinguishes burnout from “bored out,” caused by repetitive work, and recommends intentionally injecting novelty—often 15 minutes a day—to begin healing and creating optionality, defined as the intentional creation of options without blowing up one’s life. Matthews describes building authority so opportunities come through value-sharing, and outlines the Authority Bridge approach to package expertise into coaching, speaking, or training while addressing identity beyond titles. He suggests 30-day sprints to explore then go deep, using passion and “pissed” lists, and asks listeners what they want to experience more in their next season. 00:00 Meet Mitch Matthews 02:29 Defining Whats Next 04:47 Burned Out vs Bored Out 11:33 Optionality Creating Options 14:02 Gravity of Success Story 17:51 Finding Options 30 Day Sprints 26:46 Authority Bridge Framework 32:59 Identity and Owning Authority 37:48 Passion and Pissed List Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    How Saying No Unlocks Profitability with Yarin Gaon

    George Wright III interviews Yarin Gaon of Fractional Partners about a common growth bottleneck for companies that reach product-market fit around $3–$5M in sales: continuing “growth by addition” by saying yes to too many customers, products, channels, and revenue streams, which increases complexity and shrinks profit. Gaon argues founders should shift to “growth by subtraction,” identifying the small set of activities that drives most profit and cutting the rest, then later moving to “growth by expansion” when execution bandwidth increases. Key signals it’s time to subtract are rising complexity and declining profitability, and Gaon warns against making decisions out of context or based only on revenue. He introduces the free Growth Decision Canvas and an initial heat map assessment to create a clear 12–18 month plan, and explains it complements EOS by improving strategic direction and profit focus. 00:00 Meet Yarin Gaon 02:29 Growth By Addition Trap 09:07 Growth Decisions Canvas 14:06 Common Decision Mistakes 23:47 Where To Start Today 25:17 Connect And Final Takeaways Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

With an MBA from Tel Aviv University (and time spent at Kellogg School of Management), Yarin now helps growing companies mature into strong, cash-flowing assets. Yarin has mentored over 400 businesses through SCORE and the University of Chicago’s Polsky Center. Today, he helps founders identify which products, customers, services, and operational complexities are actually slowing growth and reducing profitability. His Growth Decisions Canvas was designed to help $5–25M companies make clearer strategic decisions around what deserves to scale, what should be eliminated, and where the true path of least resistance exists inside the business. Yarin is publicly opening the Growth Decision Canvas for free, so your listeners can take what they learn from the episode and implement it in their business right away.

    Build a Business Around Your Life with Clay Martin

    George Wright III interviews Clay Martin, founder of Isla Talent, a recruiting company connecting U.S. businesses with job seekers from Puerto Rico. Clay shares his path from serving in the Peace Corps in Ecuador and Panama to recruiting migrant labor for dairy farms and launching a Puerto Rico-focused recruiting business after being asked to source U.S. citizens who don’t need visas. He discusses selling his first business, being laid off after joining the acquiring competitor, and choosing to start over to regain freedom and control. Clay explains his lifestyle-first approach—using contractors instead of employees, staying remote, and focusing on relationship-building—plus his process for quickly placing workers and guiding clients on relocation logistics and housing. He aims to expand into recruiting nurses and emphasizes thinking differently, financial stability, personal branding, and long-term relationships. 00:00 Meet Clay Martin 01:43 Peace Corps to Recruiting 03:33 Finding the Puerto Rico Niche 06:25 Lifestyle First Business Model 08:21 Why Hire From Puerto Rico 11:02 Time Management as Solopreneur 15:29 Mindset for Starting Over 19:28 Personal Brand and Relationships 24:05 Where to Find Clay Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    Your Energy Is the Asset That Makes Everything Else Possible

    George Wright III argues that for entrepreneurs, energy is the asset that makes every other asset possible, and that grind culture, burnout, and exhaustion reduce effectiveness, decision-making, creativity, discipline, relationships, and leadership. He urges listeners to treat health as a core success strategy and focus on sustainable energy through four areas: sleep (for recovery and productive hours), nutrition (food as fuel affecting focus, recovery, and brain health), exercise (performance, strength, mobility, and mental discipline), and recovery (not a reward, but essential for sustained high performance). He emphasizes consistency over extremes, warning that postponing health “until later” lets ambition consume wellness. He challenges listeners to identify one current “energy leak” (sleep, nutrition, exercise, overtraining, stress, or schedule) and make a long-term adjustment. 00:00 Food Is Your Fuel 01:32 Why Energy Matters 02:49 Grind Culture Burnout 03:59 Four Energy Pillars 04:15 Sleep For Performance 05:01 Nutrition Intentional Fuel 05:34 Exercise Builds Discipline 06:03 Recovery Sustains Output 07:33 Consistency Over Intensity 08:10 Health Is The Strategy 09:47 Find Your Energy Leak 11:03 Protect Your Energy Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    The Science of Scaling with Blake Erickson

    George Wright III interviews Blake Erickson, co-author of The Science of Scaling and partner at Scaling.com, about his path from door-to-door team building, and a $10M revenue business, followed by a plateau that pushed him to pursue a bigger mission. Erickson explains how he partnered with Dr. Benjamin Hardy to co-author a book and launching Scaling.com. He distinguishes growth (e.g., 10–24% annually) from scaling (doubling or 10X in three years), arguing scaling requires doing different—often less—through focus, leverage, and “who brings the how.” He stresses that exponential, time-bound goals simplify strategy, cites a popcorn company jumping from 200 to 26,000 stores via one partnership, and emphasizes founder psychology, humility, pruning, and weekly alignment reviews. He shares Scaling.com’s lessons from a $12M plateau, previews the book Power Law Strategy (Jan 26), and offers a free audiobook at https://scaling.com/audiobook-ce 00:00 Exponential Scaling Mindset 02:29 Mission to Sales Path 05:44 Building Teams and Leaders 07:12 Goals Shape the Present 10:03 Comfort Plateau Wake Up 12:59 Partnering With Ben Hardy 16:59 Million Dollar Commitment 18:34 All In on Future Self 20:46 Growth vs Scale Defined 23:02 Building for Scale Leverage 25:00 Big Goals Simplify Strategy 26:08 Exponential Goals Matter 27:18 Popcorn Company 10X Path 32:02 Rebuilding Model And Team 38:31 Scalingcom Plateau Lessons 43:10 Data Driven Scaling Science 46:01 Where To Start Scaling 48:51 Power Law Strategy Vision Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

About Blake Blake has built and operated several businesses and spent four years helping scale a door-to-door sales organization into an eight-figure company. He has recruited, trained, and led more than 1,200 people, with much of his experience centered on leadership, recruiting, and building high-performance teams. After reaching a point where his businesses required little day-to-day involvement, Blake found himself becoming comfortable and complacent while spreading his attention across real estate, media, podcasting, and several other ventures. He ultimately realized that maintaining what he had already built was no longer fulfilling, and he felt called to play a bigger game. That led him to sell his companies and real estate portfolio, step away from his podcast, and go all-in on Scaling.com, growing the company to $10 million in ARR in its first eight months. Today, he and his team advise more than 500 companies ranging from $500,000 businesses to $10 billion enterprises. Blake is a TEDx alumnus, and a professional speaker who has presented to organizations including Vistage, Entrepreneurs’ Organization, YPO, Keller Williams, and Direct Selling University.

    Visibility Is Not Enough: How to Build Market Influence

    George Wright III challenges the common business advice that more visibility, followers, and reach are the key to growth, arguing that visibility without value, trust, and positioning doesn’t build a business. He explains the difference between temporary attention and lasting influence, emphasizing that marketing should make you relevant and trusted so you get chosen, not just seen. He urges entrepreneurs to focus on educating before selling, consistently showing up to build familiarity and credibility over time, and prioritizing relationships over vanity metrics. Wright highlights clear positioning—who you help, what problem you solve, what you believe, and why your perspective is different—so your brand becomes associated with a specific solution. 00:00 Visibility Is Not Enough 00:29 Welcome And Marketing Focus 02:06 Attention Versus Influence 03:47 Value Before Visibility 04:25 Educate To Build Trust 05:51 Consistency Compounds Credibility 07:10 Relationships Over Metrics 08:11 Positioning And What You Stand For 08:54 Marketing Self Audit Checklist 09:51 Influence Earned Final Takeaways Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    How to Choose the Right Franchise With Greg Mohr

    George Wright III interviews franchise consultant Greg Mohr, founder of Franchise Maven, about franchising as an “anti-founder” strategy—stepping into proven systems and processes to reach goals faster than starting a business from scratch. Mohr shares his path from Taco Bell and corporate work to franchising after reading “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” and explains who fits franchising best: self-starters with risk tolerance who can be mentored and follow systems. They discuss capital requirements for brick-and-mortar franchises versus service-based franchises, including typical net worth and liquidity expectations and SBA Express loan options. Mohr outlines his client-matching process, the importance of treating a franchise as an asset, and due diligence using the Franchise Disclosure Document (items 19 and 20, bankruptcies, litigation, and open-vs-sold locations). They note post-COVID growth in essential services like HVAC, plumbing, restoration, senior care, and medical franchises, and discuss horizontal and vertical growth for long-term wealth. 00:00 Franchise Fit Questions 02:00 Greg’s Franchise Origin Story 03:59 Anti Founder Explained 07:31 Who Thrives in Franchising 09:19 Capital Needed to Start 11:09 Consultant Matching Process 12:53 Owner Operator vs Asset 14:35 Marketing Support and Leads 16:55 Due Diligence and Red Flags 20:12 Hot Franchise Sectors Now 21:20 Franchising for Wealth Building Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    The Invisible Habits That Separate Elite Founders From Everyone Else

    George Wright III explains that elite performers succeed by doing important ordinary things with extraordinary consistency, not by relying on occasional intensity. He argues that life is shaped less by big decisions and more by small routines, standards, and disciplines practiced over time, which reinforce identity through follow-through or, conversely, procrastination and lowered standards. He urges listeners to protect performance habits (like exercise, planning, reading, meditation) especially when busy, and to build life around non-negotiable standards rather than fluctuating motivation. He challenges listeners to audit their habits, identify what helps most, what quietly holds them back, and choose one high-leverage habit to practice consistently for the next year to become the person capable of creating the desired life. 00:00 Consistency Over Intensity 00:46 Monday Mindset Reset 01:53 Habits Shape Identity 02:36 Elite Habits You Don’t See 03:47 Stacking Good Days 04:48 Protect Your Keystone Habits 05:42 Standards Beat Motivation 06:31 Audit and Choose One Habit 07:40 Become the Person Now Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    Build an Authority Engine That Works Even When You Don't

    George Wright III explains that entrepreneurs often mistake growth for working harder, but hustle can’t scale and founders become the bottleneck when the business depends on their energy, decisions, and involvement. He suggests freedom comes from building systems—especially an “authority engine” that produces content and visibility even when you’re not working—using a progression of do it, document it, delegate it, automate it, then optimize it. A system makes success repeatable by turning repeated tasks and questions into processes, then using people, technology, and AI as leverage (not as the system itself). He recommends identifying what stops when you stop, focusing on one repetitive founder-dependent activity this week, documenting and delegating it, then automating what makes sense to create compounding leverage across the business. 00:00 Hustle Becomes Bottleneck 00:48 From Hustle to Engine 01:46 Do Document Delegate 03:13 Systems Make Success Repeatable 04:02 Build an Authority Engine 05:41 People Process Tech AI 06:27 Find What Stops Without You 07:25 One System This Week 08:14 Systems Create Freedom Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    The AI Advantage You Can’t Buy with Adrian Rosebrock

    George Wright III interviews AI architect and Chief of AI CEO Adrian Rosebrock about moving beyond AI hype to measurable ROI and durable competitive advantage. Rosebrock shares his background building and selling PyImageSearch, then explains three waves of AI adoption: early access/adoption, the coming focus on economics and governance (including token-cost volatility and “tokenomics”), and a future differentiation phase centered on proprietary data and custom models. He uses Bridgewater’s internally trained model as an example of higher accuracy, lower token costs, and defensible advantage. They discuss when to buy, modify, or build AI using a risk-vs-differentiation grid, why AI should optimize back-office work rather than replace human-facing relationships, and common mistakes around governance, compliance, and preventing employees from uploading sensitive data. 00:00 AI Beyond Workflows 01:59 PyImageSearch Origin Story 03:34 Why Chief of AI 05:27 Three Waves of AI 08:11 Bridgewater Moat Example 11:32 Build Versus Buy Framework 14:45 ROI and Human Touch 20:10 Founder Employee Mindset Gap 23:10 Governance and Compliance Risks 25:12 Three Step Policy Playbook 29:08 How Leaders Will Adapt Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    The Courage to Act Before You Feel Ready

    George Wright III urges listeners to stop waiting to feel ready, arguing that confidence doesn’t come before action but is created by action. He describes the “confidence trap,” where preparation becomes procrastination driven by fear of failure, judgment, or loss, and explains that courage—moving forward despite fear—must come first. Wright outlines a sequence: courage creates action, action creates experience, and experience creates evidence that builds confidence and self-trust. He reframes fear as a possible signal of growth and emphasizes that leadership and entrepreneurship require acting amid uncertainty, launching, hiring, investing, and having hard conversations without guarantees. He advises taking one next courageous step to generate feedback, momentum, and clarity, and challenges listeners to choose progress over perfection. 00:00 Stop Waiting to Feel Ready 00:55 Confidence Comes From Action 01:25 Courage Before Confidence 01:48 The Confidence Trap 03:15 Fear as a Growth Signal 04:13 Leadership in Uncertainty 05:12 Evidence Builds Real Confidence 05:51 Momentum Beats Certainty 06:39 Who Do You Need to Become 07:22 One Courageous Next Step Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    The Business Behind Broadway Magic With Sue Gilad

    On The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III welcomes Grammy and five-time Tony Award-winning producer Sue Gilad for a look at what Broadway can teach entrepreneurs about turning ideas into reality. Gilad explains how growing up as a theater kid led her to producing, why strong partners should cover the skills you lack, and why a pitch only works when the project is truly in your heart and soul.

    Create Your Own Wins with Anthony Suppa

    George Wright III interviews US Marine Corps veteran and serial entrepreneur Anthony Suppa about applying Marine Corps discipline to restaurant leadership, managing people differently, and using failure as a learning tool rather than a stopping point. Suppa explains that motivation should come from accomplishing goals, not the temporary “high” of speakers, and that entrepreneurs must embrace grind, rejection, and persistence. He shares how years of a Toys for Tots toy drive grew into Slice of Charity after partnering with Oheka Castle and hosting events that drew 1,500 people, fueling a mission to help veterans, military families, and children in need. Suppa emphasizes running the charity with volunteers and minimal admin costs, incorporating work into daily life, delegating to grow, and launching Veteran Ally for Commerce to generate profits that fund the charity without relying on donations or grants. 00:00 Dream Big Mindset 02:02 Marine Corps Lessons in Business 03:40 Resilience and Redefining Failure 04:49 Motivation vs Discipline Wins 06:39 Entrepreneur vs Self Employed Grind 07:31 Origin of Slice of Charity 10:17 Scaling the Charity with Integrity 11:08 Making Time and Work Life Balance 12:31 Veteran Ally for Commerce Model 13:57 Vision Multitasking and Delegation Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    Reach the Right Audience Through Podcasts Spencer Carpenter

    George Wright III welcomes Spencer Carpenter, founder of Outlier Audio, to explain how podcasting helps entrepreneurs build authority, trust, and long-term business value. Drawing on more than 3,500 interviews booked since 2020, Spencer shows why the right audience matters more than the largest audience and how long-form conversations let personality and expertise come through. He breaks down the KAOR framework—keywords, audience, outcomes, and reputable figures—for finding relevant shows and developing topics that connect. The conversation also explores hosting versus guesting, the hidden value of relationships and SEO, and why interviews should be treated as reusable content and personal-brand assets rather than judged only by immediate sales. Spencer’s challenge is simple: clarify who you want to reach, what outcome they want, and build podcast opportunities around fit instead of vanity metrics. 00:00 — Right Audience Over Reach 01:00 — Meet Spencer Carpenter 02:00 — From Music to Podcasting 05:00 — Entrepreneurs as the Talent 08:00 — Hosting Versus Guesting 09:00 — Strategy Before Perfection 12:00 — Why Guest Interviews Work 16:00 — The KAOR Framework 21:00 — Value Beyond Direct Sales 25:00 — Building Lasting Authority Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    What Rich People Do Differently With Their Money with Buck Joffrey

    George Wright III hosts Buck Joffrey, a former neurosurgeon who shifted to plastics, then entrepreneurship, real estate investing, and financial education. Buck explains he left neurosurgery due to lifestyle demands and moved toward a more entrepreneurial path, later starting the Wealth Formula podcast because existing shows didn’t address high-income professionals trying to optimize what to do next rather than escape a 9–5. He outlines his “Mathematical Wealth Formula” (mass invested, velocity of return, and leverage), warns that entrepreneurs can be poor investors when they overconcentrate in their own business, and emphasizes treating personal finances as a separate business you actively manage. Buck highlights tax strategy as a major wealth lever, including using vacation rentals, cost segregation, and tax-law benefits to offset W2 income, and discusses macro-driven positioning such as discounted, rate-sensitive real estate and expectations for rates to decline over the next few years. 00:00 High Income Wealth Questions 01:57 From Neurosurgery to Plastics 02:53 Medical Mindset to Business 03:46 Mathematical Wealth Formula 05:59 Ditch Cookie Cutter Advisors 08:21 Tax Strategy With Real Estate 11:19 Golden Handcuffs and Fear 13:19 Macro Outlook and Rates 15:27 Markets on Sale Real Estate 17:16 Seven Secrets Overview 18:51 Why He Started Podcasting Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    Building a Future That Pulls You Forward

    George Wright III explains why many entrepreneurs don’t really have a motivation problem—they have a clarity problem. Founders can become so consumed by customers, cash flow, deadlines, and past setbacks that they stay productive without feeling directed or fulfilled. George contrasts the fear and pressure that push people into action with a compelling vision that pulls them toward a better future. He separates goals, vision, and purpose: goals define what you want to accomplish, vision shows where you’re going, and purpose explains why the journey matters. He then offers three practical questions: What do I want my life to look like? Why does that future matter? Who do I need to become to create it? The challenge is to stop using the past as a blueprint and let your future self shape the decisions you make today. 00:00 — Who Do You Need to Become? 01:00 — Motivation or Missing Clarity? 02:00 — Productivity Without Direction 03:00 — Your Past Isn’t Your Destination 04:00 — Let Vision Pull You 05:00 — Goals, Vision, and Purpose 06:00 — Let Your Future Self Decide 07:00 — Three Questions Create Direction 08:00 — Write the Next Chapter Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    Design Your Life Before Your Business Designs It for You

    George Wright III challenges entrepreneurs to ask whether the business they built for freedom has quietly taken control of their time. He explains that a calendar reveals real priorities, why a business should be designed around an ideal life, and why revenue or growth alone won’t create freedom. Real freedom requires deliberate systems, delegation, boundaries, leadership, and a clear definition of what success should provide. George argues that success should expand choices instead of multiplying obligations, and that a great business should support better health, stronger relationships, meaningful work, and more control over time. He closes by asking listeners to review their calendars, remove or delegate an obligation, protect time for what matters, and start designing life intentionally before the business designs it for them. 00:00 — Business Should Support Your Life 00:25 — Is Your Business in Control? 01:35 — Your Calendar Reveals Priorities 02:55 — Build Around Your Ideal Life 04:20 — Freedom Requires Intention 05:50 — Success Should Create Choices 07:05 — A Better Measure of Success 08:25 — Redesign Your Business and Life Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

    Next Level Mindset with Nathan Winston

    George Wright III interviews Nathan Winston—former professional baseball player, coach, corrections officer, motivational speaker, and founder of Next Level Mindset—about overcoming obstacles and reframing setbacks. Winston shares being born with PFFD, having his left leg amputated at age four, and being told he would never play sports, yet competing in basketball, baseball, and football while managing sweating and frequent prosthetic failures. He explains how fear nearly stopped him from running onto the court in seventh grade, which shaped his principle of “getting comfortable being uncomfortable.” The conversation focuses on fear of failure, redefining success as doing everything you can, building self-belief, and surrounding yourself with positive people. Winston discusses dark moments from injuries and breaks, and says a work injury motivated him to start writing a memoir and sharing his story through speaking and podcasts. 00:00 Fear Before Tipoff 01:51 Nathan’s Amputation Story 03:17 Early Mindset and Sports Drive 04:22 Prosthetic Struggles in Games 05:49 Injuries and Quitting Football 06:40 Next Level Mindset Explained 08:28 Fear of Failure and Reframing 10:34 Daily Rituals and Broken Foot Story 12:22 Helping Others Build Confidence 14:59 Memoir Motivation and Setbacks Thanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Guest Bio Nathan Winston is a former professional baseball player, speaker, and advocate for embracing adversity as a path to growth. Born with a rare condition called Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency, Nathan had his left leg amputated at four years old. That never stopped him from competing. Growing up, he played football, basketball, and baseball alongside his peers while learning to overcome challenges most athletes never face—from repairing his prosthetic during games to pitching on a cracked prosthetic foot held together with a homemade splint and duct tape. Nathan’s determination eventually took him all the way to professional baseball. Through injuries, setbacks, and some of the most difficult moments of his life, he developed what he calls the Next Level Mindset: the understanding that confidence comes after doing the uncomfortable thing, not before. His philosophy is simple: “Get comfortable being uncomfortable until you get comfortable.” Today, Nathan shares his story to inspire others to see adversity differently—not as something that has to define their future, but as an experience that can prepare them for their purpose.
