🎙️ Episode 049 – Acres of Diamonds: The Life-Changing Wealth Hiding in Plain Sight 

The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori 

What if the treasure you’ve been searching for… is already under your feet?

In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori shares one of the most enduring—and surprisingly unknown—stories in personal development: Acres of Diamonds, made famous by Russell Conwell. But this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a powerful metaphor for modern life, influence, leadership, and connection.

You’ll discover:

• The surprising origin of Temple University—and how a single story helped build it.


• Why we often miss the diamonds in our own lives, careers, and relationships.


• How “scroll culture” and comparison trap us in the illusion of greener grass.


• What conversational hypnosis and hypnotic gifts have to do with uncovering buried potential—in yourself and others.


• How to help others mine the diamonds within their own story, team, or skillset—one conversation at a time.

This episode isn’t just insight. It’s a call to mine what’s already yours—and to help others do the same.
