This week's GIANT is Matthew Kelly: author, speaker, thought leader, entrepreneur, consultant, spiritual leader, and innovator. 

Matthew Kelly has dedicated his life to helping people and organizations become the-best-version-of-themselves. Born in Sydney, Australia, he began speaking and writing in his late teens while he was attending business school. Since that time, 5 million people have attended his seminars and presentations in more than 50 countries.

Today, Kelly is an internationally acclaimed speaker, author, and business consultant. His books have been published in more than 30 languages, have appeared on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists, and have sold more than 50 million copies.

Kelly is the founder of Floyd Consulting, a Florida-based management-consulting firm. His clients include many of the most admired companies in the world.

He is also the founder of The Dynamic Catholic Institute, a Cincinnati-based nonprofit organization that is redefining the way Catholics are inspired and educated.

In his early-twenties he developed "the-best-version-of-yourself" concept and has been sharing it in every arena of life for more than twenty-five years. It is quoted by presidents and celebrities, athletes and their coaches, business leaders and innovators, though perhaps it is never more powerfully quoted than when a mother or father asks a child, "Will that help you become the-best-version-of-yourself?"

Kelly's personal interests include golf, music, art, literature, investing, spirituality, and spending time with his wife, Meggie, and their children Walter, Isabel, Harry, Ralph, and Simon.

In an ever so divided world, lies have been absorbed as absolute truths, where absolute truth are continued to be ridiculed. If you want to be a GIANT, you need TRUTH as the cornerstone and bedrock of your foundation. 

In this week's episode, we expose some of the lies that continue to be perpetuated throughout schools, universities, public figures and even some religious leaders regarding socialism. 

Moreover, we attack the question head on: can you be a successful entrepreneur and a socialist? Although simple, the answer still seems to confound a few. 

We're here for the GIANTS seeking the truth, breaking their biases and looking to SLAY dragons. Are you ready to join in?

🚫 3 self-help LIES to get rid of 🚫

🙅‍♂️ A positive attitude is the key to success
People with positive attitudes are great to be around. But it doesn't always mean they are people who are successful — conversely, I'm sure you can think of at least one person with a negative attitude who has built a successful business or made great strides in their career.

The key to success is resolve.

Whether you're a positive or negative person, if you have resolve, you will achieve what you set out to do. It's what drives you to push past obstacles and hardships, and do what you don't want to do.

Resolve can appear ferocious at times, but it will get things done.

🙅‍♂️ Follow your passion
This one can be a trap. If you follow your passion and turn it into a career, you introduce all the stresses of work into what was once your escape from it.

Instead, bring passion into your work, and great things will happen.

You may not be passionate about your job, but you can be passionate about doing great things with an organization of great people, breaking records, and building a legacy larger than yourself.

If you can bring passion into what you do, you will have abundant success no matter where you are or what you do.

🙅‍♂️ Listen, don't speak
People often say you should listen twice as often as you speak, or that you were born with 2 ears and 1 mouth.

But being a good communicator is not simply just emphasizing the concept of "listening."

A good communicator listens as long as it takes to understand, and speaks long enough to be understood.

"Understanding" is key here. I'm sure you've spoken to at least one person who listens to everything you said and retained not even 1% of it.

Rather than follow these common misconceptions, focus on building resolve, bringing your passion to what you do, and seeking to understand and be understood.
