Hey friends, this is D Wells from Why Not U, and WOW! I'm excited about this episode. This week's episode, titled "Brotherhood and Betterment: Inside Lee's Kings Accountability Circle," I am joined by my friend Lee West and we dive deep into the heart of personal growth, success, and the transformative power of support. Whether you're on your daily grind in the gym, on your commute, or looking for some inspiration during your morning routine, Lee's insights are sure to strike a chord.
There's nothing like real talk about leading, growing, lifting others up, and carving out your path in this world of ours. Lee was recently acknowledged as Lion of the Quarter for his commitment to being consistent in elevating himself to elevate others. Let's get into this conversation with the Lion of the quarter.
Episode Highlights:
- The Value of Supportive Roles: Discover Lee's journey from chasing the spotlight to finding fulfillment in empowering others.
- Never Stop Learning: Lee stresses the importance of continuous education and the dangers of stagnation.
- Partnerships Over Solo Success: Learn about the power behind every "self-made" individual and why partnerships are often the unsung heroes.
How has following the golden rule, "treat others as you wish to be treated," impacted your day-to-day interactions and relationships? In this episode of Why Not U, I’ll be going in with Rich Oneal (aka Richie Rich). Rich goes into how belief in yourself acts as the soundtrack to your story, the significance of treating others with respect, following the golden rule, and how our actions affect those around us. We’ll also talk shop about the unsung heroes of skilled trades, shining a light on their earning potential and the lifestyle that follows. It’s time to rethink the college narrative. Let’s get into the conversation with Richie Rich.
Questions for you and things to reflect on:
Help yourself to help others. Rich chimes in with wisdom for personal growth. It's like the oxygen mask rule on flights. Fix your mask first, before you assist others.
How do you treat people? Rich urges the golden rule: Treat others as you'd like to be treated. It's simple, really, but imagine if we all lived this way. The world would be kinder, lighter, better.
Think about the energy you put out in the world. It’s always there. ALWAYS. Mind your actions and intentions. What kind of energy are you contributing?
I hope you enjoyed this episode of Why Not U
