Episode Highlights [00:05:57] Some of the most amazing experiences come from moments of spontaneity. You can build a structure, but allow for change. Allow for serendipity. By eliminating the itineraries, by stepping away from the script, we open ourselves up to that growth opportunity. [00:12:39] Let your curiosity take over. Be open, have fun.  It's amazing the opportunities that can come out of it. [00:18:32] Everybody has something to give, and we all have something to learn. That person might be there to tell you something that you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Don't allow yourself to be that person that never moves forward. [00:27:41] If you're not taking time to reevaluate the progress that you've made,  you're doing yourself a disservice. But when you do celebrate it, celebrate it with others. [00:36:11] The ultimate way of finding happiness is to surround yourself with people that will challenge you. [00:40:37] Giving doesn't have to be transactional. Give time freely, and you never know how you're going to impact somebody.
