So Adam did, and Geoff answered. From there, they built a relationship and went on Mastermind weekends, where Adam learned to hone the skill of building relationships.[06:06] Add ValueGeoff invited speakers such as Ron Lynch, the marketing genius behind GoPro's remarkable growth from a $2 million to $150 million company in just two years. Adam found meeting these successful people enriching.[07:58] What is it I Want? Align your vision and goals. Losing track of your dream can happen; coaching can help you stay on course. Inner work requires reminding yourself of what you want. Accountability and clarity are essential for achieving success.[10:33] Transformational ChangeBeing around people who have achieved epic success can be inspiring. There is vulnerability and transparency; everyone aims to gain personal growth and learn from each other. The mastermind event is not about exchanging business cards but building relationships and adding value. The experience is not transactional but transformational, where you can be your true self.[13:15] Making the Best of My DayRon Lynch encouraged people to make the best of every day, like putting a coin in a slot machine, and to think about what they want others to say about them at their funeral. With these unforgettable stories, Adam highlights the importance of living a life with purpose.Notable quotes from the Episode:[08:04] “What is your vision? What are your goals?

Build relationships.”Resources Mentioned:Connect with Wyatt Graves: LinkedIn | WebsiteThe Mentee Podcast: Website | Apple | <a...
