This is a conversation between Levi and Blake, because of this I tried my hardest to differentiate who said what, but some things are unclear.
Levi - we have a dichotomy, we choose success OR we make a difference.
It's not bad to want to be successful. The greater the blessing can be, the greater I can give.
Blake - the more you're blessed with success the bigger platform to make an impact.
Levi - you looked at tired things and breathed new life into them.
Blake - how do we do things better than we ever have before?
Garth Brooks song, "I thank God for unanswered prayers."
We hope and pray for things and say why, why me, why not?
If I had won The Amazing Race I wouldn't have created Toms.
Never miss an opportunity to try something new.
Sometimes God whispers and sometimes He shouts!
Levi - over and over the Bible talks about be fruitful and multiply.
Blake - if you want to build a business that has a giving aspect either don't do it at all or go all in.
Constantly push yourself, surround yourself with thinkers and people who constantly push you out of your comfort zone. But also rest. "Get read because I'm going to shout again."
Best memories are when it was the hardest.
I ask myself two questions :
If not us, who?
If not now, when?
***********
I purchased Blake's book, "Start Something That Matters" and took just a couple notes...
If you did not have to worry about money, what would you do with your time?
What kind of work would you want to do?
What cause would you serve?
