In this episode, Steve and Blair discuss:

• Being grateful for the simple things
• The gift of community
• A good leader and a follower
• Purpose matters most 

Key Takeaways

• Remember the simple things that make life good. Don’t wait for someone’s death to remind you how precious life really is. Give your loved ones the gift of spending time with each other.
• Most of our frustrations in life are with other people but accomplishing something great with other people is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.
• A good leader must not only be good at leading but also at following and being led too. Practice being a good follower and submit yourself to coaching and mentorship - all of these will contribute to your success as an individual.
• It doesn’t really matter what you find yourself doing in life; what matters is if you find meaning or purpose in what you’re doing and how you’re living.

“I don’t think that there’s anything more enjoyable than getting to see a team that thrives together accomplish something - the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts, that you’re able to produce something… it’s better because we were together.” - Blair Humphreys
