In this motivational segment, Jim Kwik challenges listeners to identify the two most important people whose approval they seek: their younger self—specifically a 9‑year‑old version labeled as "broken"—and their future self, imagined at 90 years old. He argues that while external validation from family, friends, or society is limited, individuals can use imagination to travel mentally across time, asking both the younger and older versions of themselves whether they are proud of the choices being made today. This mental time‑travel exercise serves as a reflective tool to align present actions with deeper, self‑generated standards of pride and purpose.

The 2 most important people to make proud, who do you think they are? I think many people would think about their parents, or they'll think about their kids. For me, who I want to make proud is the 9-year-old boy that was labeled broken. I wanna make that boy proud. And the other part of it is I wanna make the 90-year-old version of myself proud also as well. We can't always control how other people, family members and friends and society views us, but you have the ability in your imagination to go through time. is that younger version of yourself, are they proud of you? And also going in the future, doing this little, little time travel, if you will, how do they feel about you?
