A short excerpt from a YouTube interview between James Laughlin and another speaker. They discuss how personal trauma and life experiences can be transformed into hope and a desire to help others by sharing stories that might make a difference to people in varied circumstances.
Some people reading this book will be in war torn areas, you know, that may be in the Ukraine right now. There will be people sitting in New York reading this book who are having a really bad week at the office. And that's their version of fire. And it's really incredible that you've taken that experience as a child and then through other parts of your life and turned it into a pathway of hope. It's really incredible.
Thank you. Thank you. I mean, you know, it's. When you get to a certain place. Look what you got me all weepy here. But when you get to a certain place in your life, at least in my case, you want to share what you've gone through in the hopes that it makes a difference. Difference for other people. Because at the end of the day, that's all we really have. Like, who cares about all the success and accolades unless it makes a difference for other people? Again, that's how I've always sort of lived my life. How can I make life better?
