Excerpt from a November 3, 2022 YouTube conversation (Kevin “KD” Dorsey’s channel) in which a speaker—likely Shawn Buxton—answers how to “live better.” The speaker emphasizes maintaining humility by having a relationship with something greater than oneself (explicitly citing Christian faith), keeping perspective in sales (not overreacting to lost deals), and focusing on helping others and long-term pipeline rather than short-term wins.

The live better advice? Well, I would say that you have to have a relationship with something greater than yourself. I think it's easy in sales because usually we have big egos, right? And if you're successful in sales, you know, even when we try to, like, act like we have some humility, we still, inside, we still think we're pretty. Pretty killer. So I think knowing that there's something bigger than yourself, whatever that is for you, you know, I'm a Christian, and so for me, it's my relationship with God, you know, that's how I live better. And I'm not very good at it, but I guess that's what keeps me humble, is like knowing that there's something much bigger than myself. And at the end of the day, you know, this is fun and we're helping people provide for their families and accomplish their goals and their dreams. But if we lose this deal today, there's going to be another deal. Right. The only reason we got to get upset about that is if we got nothing left in the pipeline. But, you know, it's putting things in perspective, I guess, and understand there's a higher power than myself, helps me keep things in perspective. So that's how I live better.
