Excerpt from a Mick Hunt YouTube video ("Leadership isn’t lonely—it’s isolated for a reason") in which Hunt discusses personal growth, purpose, and leadership. In this chunk he contrasts personal near-death/trauma (mentions losing a hand) with gaining perspective, urges listeners to "go within" to find purpose, and reframes the common leadership claim "leadership is lonely" as better described as "isolated."

What was it like for you Friday nights at Independence High School, bro? During my run, it was 109 games in a row, seven straight. And the fact that, like, losing wasn't an option. If you could give the listeners and viewers, like, one or two tips for those that are struggling to find their purpose, I would say go within themselves. You know, I lost my hand, but I gained a new perspective of who I was as an individual. The things that were dormant or things that I took for granted. I started to learn what is your. Because what's that big purpose for you that's deeper than your why you have a near death situation and you realize that one life is very fragile, it's fleeting. And so we have to make the most of it. And we kind of take that for granted depending on where. Where we are in life. Because a lot of those same principles that you're talking about, I know, are things that. When you're doing leadership development, when you're talking to businesses and corporations, how do you take that same thing and then correlate it to a business? It's one and the same. A lot of leaders think that they have to do everything by themselves. You often hear leaders say, like, leadership is lonely, and it's not lonely, it's isolated.
