In this powerful second part of my reflections on the Better Human Project, I dive deep into the lessons and experiences that shaped my perspective on life, happiness, and service to others. I share the defining moment when I realized that true happiness comes from noticing rather than expecting, a lesson reinforced by years of traveling to India and witnessing the beauty of selflessness. From my grandmother’s unwavering dedication to serving others to a powerful encounter with a group of children in the streets of Delhi, I unpack the real meaning of LFG energy. I also challenge you to think about how you want to be remembered—if there was just one word people used to describe you, what would it be? This episode is a call to action: Pick your word, align your actions with it, and commit to being a better human every day.
