In this excerpt from Matt Vaadi's YouTube video, the hosts discuss a core principle of personal growth: the power of serving others. They cite Zig Ziglar’s famous idea that to become a billionaire one should aim to help a billion people, framing life’s measure as the number of people we serve. The conversation then shifts to the belief that every person is inherently good, emphasizing that personal improvement is about revealing more of that inner goodness rather than fixing a flaw. Finally, they stress that serving oneself—grounding in self‑care and self‑recognition—is a prerequisite for effectively serving others.

— was named Zig Ziglar, used to say, if I want to become a billionaire, I'd try to help a billion people. And like, you know, like that's kind of the mentality you've got to have, right? It's like our life is going to be measured in the number of people we can serve. And then I'm pretty confident that good things will happen if you focus your life on how many people you can serve outwardly with your actions and with your words. But there was one other question I had for you here. Let me toggle back.
I love that. And one of the things I do want to say, just as a little in-between space, is is that when I'm talking about personal growth or I'm talking about getting a little better, I always wanna, I keep wanting to ground all of us in this idea that we are good because we are. And so that like getting better isn't that we're bad now.
Right.
Right. It isn't. It is the internal shine. Mm-hmm. Just how much more shine can we reveal? Just how much more goodness can we give? So I think the service idea that you're talking about's a big component of that, but we, we have to serve ourselves first.
Absolutely.
