I have only friends I have yet to meet." "You can't have elation without a little depression. You can't have success without failure." "This thing (pain, problems) that I thought was my enemy turned out to make me work much harder. And the next time I saw a problem like that, I just walked over it because I understood how to deal with it." "The tough things aren't my enemies. Those are the things where I have to do extra lifting." "The school system does not set kids up for success at all. It sets them up to be mindless drones that are just worker bees. This whole grading system, where somehow getting an F is bad and an A is great, I'm like, well, all that tells them is how to take a test. I'd much rather have a kid who struggles with grades but gets it, so that s/he can actually do something down the road with it." "What is life? Life is the experience of experience. It's the doers doing the doing. You can sit on the sideline and watch and say, 'Oh, that's interesting.'" "One of the great experiences of being human is that emotions manifest in the physical. It's why we have this corporeal body." "I have never failed at making a light bulb. I have successfully learned how not to make one 1,000 times." – Thomas Edison "Leaders read and readers lead." – Jeff Brown BOOKS MENTIONED: Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect by Will Guidara (https://a.co/d/bES9CQh) The Trust Edge: How Top Leaders Gain Faster Results, Deeper Relationships, and a Stronger Bottom Line by David Horsager (https://a.co/d/blPni2p) Nonprofit AI: A Comprehensive Guide to Implementing Artificial Intelligence for Social Good by Nathan Chappell and Scott Rosenkrans (https://a.co/d/6EKwiSc) Moral Ambition: An Antidote to Apathy: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference by Rutger Bregman (https://a.co/d/1pFqkom) The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact by Chip and Dan Heath (https://a.co/d/2eWO4ca) USEFUL RESOURCES: howardpearl@gmail.com  https://www.careasy.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/howardpearl/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/charitable-auto-resources/ https://www.instagram.com/cars_charitableadultrides/ https://www.facebook.com/howard.pearl https://www.facebook.com/carsorg/ https://x.com/charitableauto CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com    LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen    X - https://x.com/johnhulen    YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA    EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

So I have to understand what their reasons are." "You can teach anybody how to turn a machine on and off, but you need a great culture to make sure that that machine keeps running." "If cost is the reason that somebody comes to you, it's the exact reason they will leave you." "Trust can only be there if there's integrity. Integrity can only be there if there's respect by experience." "The real joy is in the act of giving, not the gift." "In order to be great in business, it actually starts at home. Because life and business are all about relationships. Anyone who thinks business is about money misses the mark." "If you can't grow, then you've got to go. Once you hit your limit, or once you're bored, or once you are no longer interested, you need to know it's time to train somebody and move on, and give somebody the opportunity to make it even bigger and better than you did."
