Short excerpt from a YouTube interview ("Success Amidst Struggle: The Power of Kindness | Nathaniel Ealy") in which Nathaniel Ealy reflects on times of apparent failure and attributes later success to relationships, people who invested in him, and acts of kindness and reciprocity.

To, you.
Know, the success that.
I had over time.
And it sure didn't look like success at the moment. You know, just felt like I was, like, you know, stumbling.
And failing a lot of times. But I had people around me, I had relationships, I had, you know, people.
That I had been.
A giver to in advance, and so they wanted to invest back in me. And then a lot of times, there are people that, for some reason, saw something in me, and I hadn't given them a saying, and that's probably the.
Majority, and.
They just wanted to help me out. And that's. I contribute a lot of our success to that. Just kind.
People and.
Putting yourself in community with other people is massive.
