Alan Stein Jr. shares how Walter's words planted a seed that changed his life decades later, arguing that every time you speak publicly, you might be reshaping someone's future without ever knowing it.
But one of the lessons that I hold very dear to my heart is, as a speaker or as a podcast host or as an author, you have no idea the impact you're making in most of the people that will hear your message. You know, yes, there's always a select few that will come up after and say thank you, but you're still planting seeds with other people. Like Walter had no idea for 20 years that he planted a seed in me that would change the trajectory of my life forever. And I know he's proud of the ability to do that, and I'm forever grateful. So I also remind myself that when I'm on a stage, whether it's at your event or someone else's, and I'm speaking, I might say something that could change someone's life. And I take that very seriously, and I'm indebted with gratitude for an opportunity to do it.
