Decatur, Illinois. Doctor Munio is welcome
27
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.240
to Working on Purpose. Hi,
thank you for having me today, Alice,
28
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.879
you are so welcome. I want
to also call out and share that
29
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.560
we were brought together because we were
both featured on the India Chamber of Commerce
30
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.479
some months ago and that's how we
found each other. And of course it
31
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.599
was sort of a gravitational poll to
one another. So it has to start
32
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.159
with a course, I have to
ask why you became a professor and author,
33
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.080
because I have a suspicion that's part
of the poll here. That's right.
34
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:39.000
Well, I've spent about fifteen years
in industry prior to becoming an author,
35
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:44.520
a professor and an author. You
know, I've had a career where
36
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.800
I traveled in different parts of the
world and did all sorts of business,
37
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.960
and just came a stage in my
life where I said, you know what,
38
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.759
I have an MBA, I have
a PhD. Why didn't I just
39
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.199
start giving back? You know,
why didn't I share my experiences and skills
40
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.319
and help others learn and grow?
And so that motivated me to join the
41
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:08.199
academ and to become a professor,
and eventually shortly after that I ended up
42
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.719
starting to write books and yeah,
and hopefully over the years I've made some
43
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.280
kind of impact both in both in
academ and in publishing. M Well,
44
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.879
it's so interesting, right whatever we're
into each and of ourselves individually as human
45
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.759
beings, it makes so much sense
to us, and we don't necessarily always
46
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.080
understand why nobody else seems to get
this, and I love learning and growing
47
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.039
too, and of course I devour
books on it. Like somebody said,
48
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.719
you read books like I eat cookies, which I am love, right and
49
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.479
so right for both of us,
learning and growing is really important, and
50
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.919
I really appreciate that you've now spent
the last several years of your life dedicated
51
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.800
to learning and growing and giving back
that same gift to others. Yeah,
52
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.159
indeed, it's almost been twenty years. I think this year is going to
53
00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:00.000
be my twentieth year in the academ
Yeah, it's beautiful, it's beautiful.
54
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.879
Well, well, of course,
when we first met, I think you
55
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.479
would have easily gravitated to my space
of meaning and purpose. And then that's
56
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.599
when you said, hey, I've
got I've got a new book out on
57
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.840
legacy. I wonder if that would
be something worth chatting about on your show,
58
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.840
And of course it is. So
you wrote it. You said to
59
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.839
inspire people to live a life of
contribution, and of course I am completely
60
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:23.000
with you on that urging people to
do So why is that important to you?
61
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.360
Well, I think you know from
what I've seen in my travels and
62
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.199
even in the academic setting, you
know, people have unique talents, abilities,
63
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.720
resources, you know, and sometimes
some of them put them into good
64
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.360
use and others don't. And my
thinking is, you know, we should
65
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.199
have more and more people think about, you know, about their legacy and
66
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.000
how do they really want to be
remembered. So the book is really more
67
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.000
of a call to action to say, you know, don't just dream about
68
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.480
your legacy, you know, pursue
it. You know, like you said
69
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.560
where you're you know, we need
to think about we all have a purpose
70
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.680
in life in some shape or form. I'm hoping that you know, this
71
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:11.079
book and Legacy will inspire people to
really uncover their legacy and to take proactive
72
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.319
ways to make an impact. Oh, Mark, So one of the great
73
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.839
things that unites us is I and
I'll say more about this as we go
74
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.160
on, but I wrote my first
book, Purpose Ignited, last It came
75
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.680
out last last November, and it's
really about awakening. It's about a wakening
76
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.839
passion and purpose. This next book
that I'm writing about is really about activating
77
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.639
and much like you're talking about a
call to action. So we have that
78
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.879
very much in common. And I
think one of the things that I found
79
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.839
so fascinating about your book to really
help them. Along is your concept of
80
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.920
memorial capacity. Would you explain what
that is and the five levels you talk
81
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.800
about? Sure, you know,
I think you know. With regard to
82
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.319
memorial capacity, I think there are
different ways by which different levels in which
83
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:59.360
a person can be remembered, and
memorial capacity refers to the ability of an
84
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.120
individual to be remembered in future generations. And in my view, there are
85
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:10.480
five levels you know that exist.
Level one would be that of extraordinary memorial
86
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.720
capacity. You know, those who
have made an impact, you know that
87
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.600
that can be remembered over a thousand
years. So I'm thinking, you know,
88
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.879
Jesus Christ, you know, would
be an example, or Sidharta.
89
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:26.600
Gautama might be an example. And
then the second level two would be very
90
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.160
high memorial capacity. So these are
people who are remembered for their accomplishments for
91
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:35.639
a period of over five hundred years. So I'm thinking William Shakespeare or Rembrandt,
92
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.800
and that there's a level three high
memorial capacity. You know, people
93
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.519
who are remembered for over one hundred
years for their remarkable achievements. I'm thinking
94
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.600
musicians, authors, businessmen, inventors, politicians. I'm thinking Abraham Lincoln would
95
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.360
be an example. And then there's
level four moderate memorial capacity. These are
96
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.600
you know, and well loved personalities
who continue to be in people's minds for
97
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:09.160
you know, around fifty years or
so. So I'm thinking, you know,
98
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:14.079
professionals and entrepreneurs or even family members
like grandparents, you know, so
99
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.120
those those would be at level four. And then level five is low memorial
100
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:23.480
capacity. Those individuals who after you
know, shortly after their passing are forgotten,
101
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.439
not because they have you know,
lack of skills or lack of resources,
102
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.439
but perhaps they didn't do as much
and try to make an impact in
103
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.240
the world. So I'm really you
know, in the book, I'm trying
104
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:39.920
to encourage people to really try to
go up closer to but we may not
105
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.480
all be level one and level two, but you know, go up a
106
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.240
little bit higher maybe and look at
ways by which you could really make broader
107
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.560
and more meaningful impact, you know, in the lives of others. I
108
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:58.759
think that that typology is extremely useful, Mark because really helpful to expand beyond
109
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.160
their own spear of understanding, influence, thinking, et cetera, to really
110
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.800
consider what could they do, as
I like to say, with this one
111
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.399
precious life, and what I find
is that one amount speaking on these kinds
112
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.720
of topics and really trying to inspire
people to live their biggest, best,
113
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.079
highest self and contribution. There's fear
of that. People are like, well,
114
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.680
I'm okay the way that I am. You know, this is a
115
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.240
nice life, et cetera. I'm
like, and yes it is, and
116
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.560
will you be happy with that when
your day finally comes and you're no longer
117
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.799
here. So I really appreciate how
you've given us this perspective on what we
118
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.559
can do in our lives, that
we really do have this capacity to really
119
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.879
make a difference, well beyond what
we what we think we can, so
120
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.039
really appreciate just it's just crisp,
it's clear, it's accessible. So thank
121
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.759
you for that. And then if
you would next along that same line,
122
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.639
you also speak about five aspects of
legacy that I also think is useful.
123
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.159
Can you paint those for us?
Certainly in the book I mentioned this,
124
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.879
I gave you some serious thought that
said, you know, what are ways
125
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.039
which people are really come up with
their legacy? And you know, and
126
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:11.360
I broken down I identified five areas
by which you know legacy can be implemented
127
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.879
and applied. The first one Uh
is theft? You know, Uh,
128
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.399
what is the theft of the impact
that we're making. So for example,
129
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.759
if you save one a life of
a person, you know, if you're
130
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.120
a doctor or a nurse or you
know, you save a life or that's
131
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.559
a deep impact. You know,
there's a the impact that you've made is
132
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.440
deep and it has a lot of
theft. Uh. If you've educated a
133
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.879
person, you know, the impact
is again quite deep. The second one
134
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.200
is scale. How many lives have
you touched or impacted? So, for
135
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.080
example, if you're a best selling
author whose books you know on self help
136
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.279
has impacted the lives of so many
people and changed the course of their lives,
137
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.320
that's a huge scale of impact.
You know. So if you're a
138
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.759
humanitarian who's donated a lot of money
and and the money was used to you
139
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.879
know, to find cure for malaria
or some other things, and provided inexpensive
140
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:13.360
drugs in developing nations, that's a
huge scale of impact. And then we
141
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.960
also think about scope. I think
there are individuals who have a legacy impact
142
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.759
across different levels. So I'm thinking
of let's say, an actress who did
143
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.960
an amazing job in the entertainment industry
is very well recognized, but at the
144
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.279
same time she also maybe has donated
a lot of money you know in the
145
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.720
art you know as that as a
favorite philanthropy. And then at the same
146
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.879
time, this person might have taken
the lead in fighting world hunger. So
147
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.200
you know, doing three different,
multiple things across different levels, I think
148
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.879
broadens the scope of impact. So
there are those that apply legacy in that
149
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.639
way. And then there's this time, you know, the element of time
150
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.399
when did you start making an impact? So I'm thinking, you know,
151
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:05.600
a person who has started perhaps you
know, doing political activism uh at the
152
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:11.159
age of you know, maybe during
the teen teenage years and continue continuing it
153
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.919
throughout their entire lives would have a
lot of time that they put in uh
154
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.799
to you know, to further their
you know, the impact that they want
155
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.919
to make in the world. And
then there's inertia, you know, the
156
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.759
kind of energy you put into into
your legacy. So there may be you
157
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.720
know, somebody who was put in
maybe an hour or two a month to
158
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.720
forward is her legacy compared to one
who has done it, you know,
159
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.320
who puts in hundreds of hours a
month to do so, you know,
160
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.080
could have very different results with the
kind of impact that they are achieving.
161
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.039
So in my view, there's the
five ways by which to think about our
162
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.480
legacies and how we're impacting the world, depth, scale, scope, time,
163
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.000
and inertia mm hmm. So of
course has cginning of this titlement as
164
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.519
well as designed to get us thinking
about in the ways that we can really
165
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.759
access and peel back the layers of
legacy. And then finally you talk about
166
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.480
pathways, or you describe eight pathways, if you could discuss those next,
167
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.399
Yes, those eight uh, you
know, they're actually perhaps more than eight
168
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.200
legacy pathways, but for a purpose
of pravity and simplicity in the book,
169
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:30.559
I picked eight uh. And the
idea is to really encourage people to think,
170
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.840
you know, which which of these
might best fit them, you know,
171
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.399
depending on their life situation and their
goals in life. So the first
172
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.519
legacy pathway I've identified is financial legacy. So this could be you know,
173
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:50.120
a person perhaps who has extra financial
resources and decide to to you know,
174
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.559
use those resources to do philantrophic work
or to donate to certain charities would be
175
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.399
an example, but I'm thinking of
more like Bill Gates, you know,
176
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.320
who has built quite a fortune and
then sharing a lot of that eventually in
177
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.679
a later stage of his life,
you know, on philanthropic work. So
178
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:13.000
then there's also social social legacy,
you know, by finding ways by which
179
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.679
interaction across people can be developed.
So I'm thinking, you know, maybe
180
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.240
a person who created a web platform
that allow social interactions to happen in a
181
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.879
profound way. So I'm thinking Facebook
and Mark Zuckerberg would be an example of
182
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.159
a social legacy. But there are
also political legacies. You know, maybe
183
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:37.200
a political leader or a president of
a country who suddenly, you know,
184
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.399
came up with decisions that changed the
course of a nation. I'm thinking Abraham
185
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.320
Lincoln as an example. And then
there's intellectual legacy. You know, an
186
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.480
inventor who created a product that industrialized
the world, So I'm thinking Thomas Edison
187
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.240
would be an example of that.
And then there's spiritual legacy, a person
188
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:03.000
who initiated a revolutionary spiritual movement.
Maybe Martin Luther or Mother Theresa would fit
189
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:09.480
in that category. And then there's
cultural legacy, an activist perhaps who inspired
190
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.919
non violent civil disobedience, so I'm
thinking Mahatma Gandhi would be an example.
191
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.960
Physical could be one where you use
your physical attributes and talented skills uh to
192
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.639
be remembered by. And I'm thinking
maybe an Olympian who has won twenty eight
193
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:33.759
gold medals and became the most decorated
Olympia in the world. I'm thinking Michael
194
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.159
Phelps, you know, so those
kind of things, and Leslie historical.
195
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.799
Maybe an explorer who uncovered another part
of the world or changed the course of
196
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:50.120
history. So I'm thinking Christopher Columbus
would be an example. So these are
197
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.360
pathways. There are different multiple legacy
pathways, different things that we could use
198
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.200
to make our own impact in the
world. Beautifully illustrated, Mark, thank
199
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.320
you so much. And listeners and
viewers, by the way, as you're
200
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.759
listening to this, if any of
you are feeling like, oh my gosh,
201
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.799
you're talking about leaving a legacy like
Jesus Christ or Martin Luther King or
202
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.480
Mother Teresa, oh my gosh,
wow, that's a big step on the
203
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.080
path. That's all we're asking here. This is an illuminative journey. This
204
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.399
isn't this is this is an invitation

206
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.840
conversation is about. And on that
note, let's grab our first break.
207

working on purpose. Thanks to jaying
with us, and welcome back to working
219
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.799
on purpose. If you haven't heard
me say this, I'm very excited to
220
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.840
share with you that I've got my
first book at I'm way behind you,
221
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.720
Doctor Munos. But I've got my
first book out. It's called Purpose Ignited,
222
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.840
How Inspiring Leaders Ignite Passion and a
light Cause. It came out of
223
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:53.759
November. It was my pandemic Baby. I'm very happy to share that with
224
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.519
you, and I really wrote it
to turn readers onto their passion, inspiration
225
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.039
and purpose, So that's why I
wrote it. It's something for all of
226
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.880
us if you're desjoining the program.
My guest is doctor Mark Munoz. He's
227
00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:08.440
a full He's a tenured full professor
of Management and International Business at Milican University.
228
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.920
So at this point we wanted to
get into really moving into more of
229
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.920
those fictional stories that you wrote about
in your book, which I really think
230
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.319
do a beautiful job of helping readers
get access to what this could look like
231
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.359
for themselves. And stories are so
powerful. Right as I was reading your
232
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.680
book, Mark, I was just
like, Oh, this is brilliant,
233
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.559
right, stories are the way to
go. And you wrote eight fictional stories
234
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.000
to presence and inspire the possibility of
legacy for the readers. And of course
235
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.680
they they're memorable. I can remember
some of them already. So I guess
236
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.000
what I want to get to here
is what do you most want your readers
237
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.400
to walk away with by having read
those stories, what do you hope they
238
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.440
get? Yes, well, you
know, as you read a book,
239
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:56.000
I'd like to highlight three characters in
the book, Jack Wilson. You know,
240
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.400
again these are all fictional but plausible
scenarios. The individual who suddenly,
241
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.200
at this one stage in his lives
that enoughviously enough, I made enough money.
242
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.920
Let me try to find a way
to make a global impact and found
243
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.720
a philanthropic cost that he was interested
in. And then there's Philip court Gomez
244
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.359
who was you know, into politics. It was a politician, but then
245
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.240
he wanted to change the course of
politics in a country, in that case
246
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.160
the Philippines. And then there was
a case of Heavy Roberts, a student
247
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:33.319
in London who created a software to
try to mitigate the negative influences of artificial
248
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:38.519
intelligence. And so the takeaway really
I wanted to show through these stories is,
249
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.000
you know, everybody has their own
talent, skills and abilities, and
250
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.160
everybody is in a position, you
know, to make some sort of impact
251
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.759
in some shape or form, you
know, depending on where they're strong at,
252
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.480
what their interests are, and the
kind of change that they want to
253
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.720
make. In this world. So
it's not just we're a handful of people.
254
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.839
You know, anybody can, as
long as you're willing, can really
255
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:11.799
make an impact. And I'm along
alongside of you, Mark, I'm imploring
256
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.640
all of us to do that right. And one of the things that I've
257
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.920
really gotten present to, especially in
this pandemic, is I really believe that
258
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.960
every single last one of us needs
to reach deep within to be able to
259
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.079
find whatever talents and gifts that we
have and bring them to the world because
260
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:27.359
we need that desperately. We need
to be able to create the world that
261
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.680
we all want to live in.
It takes each one of us bringing our
262
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.160
best to make that happen. And
so one of the things that I also
263
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.759
appreciated about your book is that you
talk about how legacy needs to align with
264
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.960
purpose and mission, which is of
course what you just sort of started talking
265
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.079
about, and what I'm talking about
the same word about that. Why from
266
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.759
your perspective, is legacy important to
align with purpose and mission? Yeah,
267
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.440
I think we all have a purpose
and mission in life, you know,
268
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.799
and we all have some seeds of
goodness in our hearts, and we want
269
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.759
to make a positive difference in our
world. In some shape or form.
270
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.720
When we don't accomplish what we're set
to do, we become unhappy, you
271
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.880
know, and I feel that we're
you know, when we're not really accomplishing
272
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.079
what we're set to do. Uh, you know, we feel like we're
273
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.039
lost. So i'd like to you
know, that's kind of why I think
274
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.240
it's important, of course to be
to think about our purpose. But I'd
275
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:23.519
like to take the conversation further and
to expand the thinking into it. Right,
276
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.200
how do we really want to be
remembered? You know? What is
277
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.839
your legacy? Uh? And I
think aligning one's purpose with a legacy,
278
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.720
you know, and thinking about you
know, how we want to be remembered
279
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.880
is I think one way by which
we can find a renewed sense of happiness
280
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:48.279
and a renewed sense of fulfillment.
M And from my work as a logo
281
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.559
therapist, of course, as doctor
Ritter Frankel's work in existential psychology, is
282
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.640
what I know is that when we
don't register that, we experience what's called
283
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.279
the existential vacuum, which is where
depression sets in. These sets in people
284
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.319
find ways to amuse themselves to fill
that hole, and it's usually not productive
285
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.200
unless we could find a way to
actually be of service to it to the
286
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.519
world, which is of course what
we both stand for. And so of
287
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.920
course, one of the things that
I appreciate about your book, which is
288
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.240
easy to read and easy to digest, is you actually talk about a plan.
289
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.680
You talk about that some key aspects
of a strategic legacy plan. Would
290
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:25.400
you share at least a few of
them to get our readers and our listeners
291
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:30.119
and our viewers starting down that path. Yeah, I think a common mistake
292
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.480
about in legacies that you know,
people have great ideas, but execution is
293
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:40.160
the problem. You know. We
see that in business, we see that
294
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.920
in life and all that. And
so my suggestion is, all right,
295
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.720
let's stop this pass. Let's give
this some thought, and what if we
296
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.480
pursue our legacy the way we pursue
a business, you know, and when
297
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:55.240
you start a business, we plan, right, We're supposed to create a
298
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.920
business plan where we look at the
management team, we look at our vision,
299
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.279
mission, we look at the marketing
side of things, we look at
300
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.599
the financial side, we prepare,
you know. And so when we what
301
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.759
I'd like the readers to do,
and of course our listeners, is when
302
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.920
you think about legacy and you think
about implementing it, you know, think
303
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.160
about things. You know, I
take a plan carefully, you know,
304
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:26.000
look at the different angles, different
elements on the implementation part of it to
305
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:33.079
make sure that it's successfully executed.
Mm hmmmm. And again why I wanted
306
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.759
to make sure that you talk about
this mark is that one thing that I
307
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.119
know, and I talk about this
in my speaking and my programs, is
308
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.920
that you know, it's it helps
us so much if we even just start
309
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.720
the process of aiming, of strategizing, of planning, I mean to plan
310
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.680
to be of service, plan to
bee of something in the world, and
311
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.000
it's not And this is really important. I thought about this as I was
312
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.480
crafting the conversation for the show.
Is in some ways I think of legacy
313
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.680
as being a byproduct to really being
of serve to the world. However,
314
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.720
planning to matter is important from my
betage point, I want I want more
315
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.759
people to do that. So one
of the other things that you speak about
316
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.880
in your book that's related to this
no Show a strategic legacy plan is the
317
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:18.480
importance of creativity. Say more about
that. Yes, you know, I
318
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.519
noted that in business and even in
life, you know, sometimes it's out
319
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:27.640
of the box thinking. It's innovative
and creative approaches really lead to amazing results,
320
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.240
you know, and so the same
can be applied to legacy. So
321
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.519
when we're you know, for example, if a company you know or executive
322
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:41.759
and a company besides to all right, let me try to create a artificial
323
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:47.319
intelligence product that will help farming,
you know, that will help improve agriculture.
324
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.759
And let me come up with a
product or service that will allow this
325
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:56.680
to be used in expensively by farmers
all over the world. So that gesture,
326
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.240
we suddenly, you know, out
of the box thinking, creative which
327
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.440
can now be implemented and used by
many people and could have a huge impact.
328
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:10.960
So that's one example by which you
know, we can use innovative thinking,
329
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.519
creative thinking to really make an impact
in some shape or form. I
330
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.880
want to add to that Doctumunio's and
that is that I think one of the
331
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.279
things that most of us have gotten
from living in this pandemic for about a
332
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.880
year now is that if we've learned
nothing, it's to find different ways to
333
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.160
get things done right and things that
maybe we're always there, but we just
334
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.200
couldn't see them. And so I
guess what I would want to say to
335
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:38.119
add on to what you talk about
about creativity and innovation is the importance of
336
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.799
really looking, you know, like
literally have you looked under your desk?
337
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.039
I mean, what does that view
look like? It's amazing what happens when
338
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.960
we just do things a little bit
differently, how the world suddenly appears very
339
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.279
different to us. And I just
want to encourage all the listeners and viewers
340
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.839
to really think about that, that
there really are a multitude number of ways
341
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.359
to get things done, but most
of us tend to go back on our
342
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.880
autopilot and that's what we already know
and that we've been doing for years and
343
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.039
years, and that's so limiting.
It may not get you there. So
344
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:10.480
I just really want to encourage and
build on what you said, doctor Munhoz
345
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:14.319
about the importance of harnessing that creativity. Anything else do you want to add
346
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:19.240
to that? I think, uh, I think we really again be intentional
347
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:25.559
in being creative and understand that,
you know, creativity can really open up
348
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.440
new doors and new perspectives. And
yeah, I like you. I like
349
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.519
your view of you know, looking
at different angles, taking on different perspectives,
350
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:40.920
and I think would be a good
way to find exciting legacy pathways.
351
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.559
Yes, yes, to matter.
Right. One of the things that I
352
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.359
really know because of my research is
that most everybody wants to matter. We
353
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:51.839
all want to know that we don't
get through the end of this life and
354
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:56.240
nobody notices that we are here,
right, And so a part of a
355
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.279
big, important part of that is
that we are social beings. And so
356
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.039
one of the things that I really
appreciate about your plan is the importance of
357
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.119
engaging others. And for some of
us, myself included, that does not
358
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.480
come naturally. Right. I love
people, and I love synergy, and
359
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.920
I love teamwork, but it's not
necessarily the first thing that I go to.
360
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.759
So talk more about how we can
leverage the notion of engaging others for
361
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.119
our strategic plan. Yeah, you
know, when I was thinking about legacy,
362
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.400
at least, one of the things
that I noticed is that we can
363
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.960
only do so much by pursuing our
legacy plans alone. So an analogy I
364
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.839
would use is, you know somebody
who's just roaming a canoe by himself or
365
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.799
herself, but if you have four
or five people rowing that canoe together,
366
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:44.119
you'll go farther faster. So the
same with legacy planning. You know,
367
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:48.440
we got to find ways by which
we could maybe have a committed team uh
368
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.880
to do it, to join us
in our journey, or and better yet,
369
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.880
engage you know, many other stakeholders. You know, for example,
370
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.200
if you are you know, your
company is doing a social enterprise, you
371
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:06.519
know, maybe you could engage suppliers, sponsors, the government, academ you
372
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:11.000
know, broaden the scope of engagement
with others so that you will have more
373
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.640
people rowing that cano with you,
you know, and taking your legacy dreams
374
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:22.319
forward in a faster and more efficient
way. M hm. Now here,
375
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.119
I just have to shime in as
a Gallop certified strengths coach. And so
376
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.880
this is where the idea of listeners
and viewers. If you're like, well,
377
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.319
you know, yeah, I'm really
am good at at ideas or I'm
378
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:34.359
really good at execution one or the
other, Well, that's where you bring
379
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.640
to other people who have other skills
and strengths and tells that you don't have.
380
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.759
Like for me, for example,
I am really good. I used
381
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:44.480
to be really really good at really
just getting things done. And over the
382
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.759
years I've taught myself more to create
and think and cogitate but when I really
383
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.759
get stuck and I don't know how
to bring something forward, I go to
384
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.880
my friends, my strategic thinking friends
who can see a different way that I
385
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.839
can't, and I borrow them and
I leverage them and we work together.
386
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.440
And those of you that are really
strong and great ideas but short on execution,
387
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.440
you bring those people that want to
get something done. They need to
388
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.319
bring that game and ball over the
line. That is what it takes right
389
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.200
to really create this. So I
just really wanted to call out the notion
390
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:18.920
that there's absolutely nothing wrong with you
needing and wanting other people to be involved.
391
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.000
In fact, really to really make
the difference that doctor Munhos and are
392
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.160
talking about, You're probably absolutely going
to need that. Anything else you want
393
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.559
to say about that, doctor Munihou, yes, sal Is yes. You
394
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.559
know, just like in a company, when you do a startup, you
395
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.920
will hire maybe an accountant, you
will hire a marketing person because those are
396
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:38.319
skill sets that you don't necessarily have. And so again, having different talent
397
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:45.319
on board can help steal some of
the implementation gaps that you might have and
398
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:51.559
could heighten the chances of the success
of your legacy project. Excellent and beautiful.
399
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:53.079
I want to talk more about the
implementation piece. That's the next piece
400
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.160
we're going to tackle. But let's
grab our last and final break. I'm

417
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.039
share with you, if you haven't
learned this already by being listening to the
418
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.720
programs, is also during the pandemic, I launched Gusto now, which is
419
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.359
an e learning platform, which is
where I've been able to host my vitally
420
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.400
inspired Living and Leading from Purpose program. And because I love languages now we're
421
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.039
also doing that in Spanish and Portuguese. You can get a discount actually as
422
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:49.599
a listener by using WOP twenty.
That's a twenty percent discount when you start
423
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.519
with one of our classes. So
you see you there. It's great job,
424
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.720
so fun if you're just joining us. My guest today from Dicator,
425
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:02.039
Illinois doctor Mark Munos. He's a
ten year full professor of management and International
426
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:07.640
business at Milcan University. And we
were talking before about the importance of implementation,
427
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.519
right, So it's one thing to
have a really great idea, but
428
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.160
where the Robbert really needs the roads
to make it happen. So you talk
429
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.440
about implementation in your book, say
more about that. Yes, really,
430
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:25.240
execution is key. So great legacy
ideas can be implemented in the wrong way
431
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.279
or at the wrong time. So
therefore, you know, really planning ahead,
432
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.680
thinking about the timing, preparing for
it, I think would be a
433
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.640
good way forward. So we need
to prepare a well well thought out plan
434
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:42.799
to implement our legacy to really make
the impact that we really want, is
435
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.359
what I'm thinking, Alice, and
I think again back to our previous points,
436
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.200
you're probably going to need some help
to actually really fully bake that out.
437
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.279
If you're not used to creating a
strategic plan. Again, get some
438
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:56.440
help. There's nothing wrong with asking
for help. In fact, most of
439
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.640
us who recognize that we can't do
it alone do it all the time.
440
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:01.799
Hi can you help me? Hi? What's your name? Can you help
441
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.160
me? I've gotten really good at
that myself. And then, of course
442
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:09.799
the next thing that you talk about, and this is so important, is
443
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:13.640
to stay at the course, stay
with it, don't give up on it,
444
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:17.640
because the going will absolutely get tough. Yeah, definitely, you know,
445
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.799
any initiative, legacy planning included will
have obstacles to success. You know,
446
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:28.160
there's no easy route when pursuing groundbreaking
and impactful initiatives. I would really
447
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.960
recommend staying the course even when the
going gets rough, you know, and
448
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.960
the timing may not be great at
the moment. But with perseverance, you
449
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.000
know, legacy goals can be achieved
down the road. Patients, perseverance I
450
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:45.319
think would be important too. Yeah, and again I want to go back
451
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.359
in presence. I mean, what
we're talking about here, listeners and viewers
452
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.279
is really it's big stuff. It's
heavy stuff, and it's that thing that
453
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.160
we're both asking you to do is
to stretch beyond yourself and be a bigger
454
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:59.440
service to the world than you think
you maybe can be today. It's the
455
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:02.200
stretch that matters, and actually there's
actually life in this stretch. That's what
456
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:06.720
I would tell you as a logo
therapist is even if you don't actually make
457
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:10.880
your plan come entirely true, the
stretch and reach are more will actually give
458
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.359
you more likelihood that you'll get there
and you'll be more alive in the process.
459
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.119
So just really want to encourage you
to do this, right, to
460
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.920
consider this. This is needy stuff, but this is where this is the
461
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:25.759
essence of life. So that's why
I wanted to have doctor Munoz on the
462
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.440
show. Is what he's talking about
is really important, and he's written something
463
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:34.640
that makes it much more accessible for
you to get there than maybe what it
464
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.720
sounded like on the outside of the
show. So my two cents on that.
465
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:45.160
Now, let's talk about planning your
legacy. You actually talk us through
466
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.160
a few of if you would,
to the extent that you can. You
467
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.559
talk about eight areas people need to
take into consideration as they consider their current
468
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:57.319
and accessible resources for these. Can
you presence some of those? We should
469
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.359
have time for most of them if
you can get to them. Yeah,
470
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:05.839
definitely. So we have all you
know, different pathways and different resources.
471
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.159
So when we think about legacy,
uh, you know, uh, let's
472
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:12.760
say financial legacy as a start.
You know, let's look at that as
473
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.039
an example. U. There are
key questions we need to think about and
474
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.360
how we can execute this well.
So you might want to think about how
475
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.440
much resources do I have at the
moment, you know, how can I
476
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.599
leverage these resources to make an impact? We want to think about what other
477
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:30.840
resources do I need to attract?
Who would benefit from these resources the most
478
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:36.679
and what should I prioritize and what
should be the impact? So, you
479
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:40.679
know, giving it some really strategic
thinking behind. Putting some strategic thinking behind
480
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.239
it could help you, you know, really push the envelope on. With
481
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:51.039
regard to these legacy plans, Let's
talk about a little bit about social legacy.
482
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:53.760
So, you know, the key
questions to ask yourself would be what
483
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:59.119
is the current state of my social
capital, how can it be enhanced?
484
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:04.679
What partnerships and alliances can be helpful
in helping me move this forward? So
485
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:09.159
those kind of you know, strategic
questions that will help you think and refine
486
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.960
your implementation I think is going to
be important. And then as another example
487
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.320
would be intellectual legacy for example,
so we can think about what is my
488
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:22.360
intellectual strength? You know, how
can I leverage the strength to make an
489
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:28.159
impact? What training, development and
resources do I further need to get this
490
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.480
done right? You know, who
should I partner with? You know,
491
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:34.840
who should I talk to? Who
should I ask as you mentioned earlier,
492
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.199
and of course what should I really
focus on to make the biggest, deepest,
493
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:43.360
the most impactful, uh, you
know, way forward? So those
494
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.880
are some things to kind of think
about with regard to legacy planning excellent.
495
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:53.079
And I also appreciate Mark that you
what by asking those questions already out of
496
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.039
the gate, what you're doing for
people who are reading your book or listening
497
00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.039
to us today is taking them outside
of whatever they know today and stepping into
498
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.119
another remot possibility. And that's of
course where so much, so much mystery
499
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.719
and magic happens. And so I
really want new listeners and viewers to listen
500
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:14.599
to those questions because they're very powerful
to help you step out of whatever limitations
501
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:20.239
or restrictions that you think you have
today. Really important. Okay, so
502
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:22.440
you know that I can't not have
you on my radio show and talk about
503
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.639
legacy without asking you what yours is? What are you crafting for yourself?
504
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.280
You knew that you were not going
to be able to escape without asking getting
505
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:35.239
asked that question? Right, I
found that was coming. Yeah, it's
506
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:38.320
coming. It's inevitable. So what
do you, doctor Munus, What kind
507
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:42.800
of legacy are you about to leave? Oh? Well, all right,
508
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:49.360
I think it's actually some thought too
at the conclusion of the book, You
509
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:54.639
know, Alice, I think I'm
leaving behind an intellectual legacy out of the
510
00:36:54.679 --> 00:37:00.719
different types that I mentioned as I've
been an educator for almost years now,
511
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:06.000
and uh, and I'm hoping that, you know, the lessons I taught
512
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:09.960
in the classroom, uh, the
skill sets I've taught to students will be
513
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:14.599
remembered and we will be put to
good use and uh, you know,
514
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:19.760
could help them grow and maybe become
better persons down the road, uh and
515
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:22.719
successful people down the road. And
I'm hoping that as an author, the
516
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:30.519
books that I've written can help you
people again be educated and to live better
517
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:37.079
lives as well. Uh. And
you know, and hopefully, uh,
518
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:42.400
these efforts you know, in teaching
and writing would be in my own small
519
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:45.360
way, my legacy as well.
So and this book, out of all
520
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:51.119
the books that I've written, uh, this has been my personal favorite.
521
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:55.360
You know, many of the books
that I wrote are really written from the
522
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.239
brain rather than anything else. This
book, I felt, I just let
523
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.639
it flow. There was no very
little. There's some research, but not
524
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:07.519
as much as the others. So
this was written from the heart and what
525
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:12.440
I really felt like a message I
wanted to convey, you know, to
526
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:19.599
my readers and hopefully in some way
change their lives and help encourage them to
527
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:25.760
make an impact on the lives of
others too. That's delicious and right up
528
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:29.199
my alley of course. As you
know. So I want to present something
529
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:32.000
for our listeners and what you just
did there at DOCUMENTOS that's really really important.
530
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:35.840
I didn't ask the question, not
right, why is this important?
531
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.159
But you answered it. And what
I would have to clean underneath that is
532
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:44.719
that you have a there's some values
that are present there for you. So
533
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:51.039
I would say that you value learning, growing, intellectual endeavor, contribution.
534
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:54.840
Is any of that right? Oh? Absolutely, yes, okay, okay.
535
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:58.239
So this is why this is important
for us to talk about, especially
536
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.400
from the vanished point of as I
said before, about that there's actually meaning
537
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.719
to be registered in the pursuit of
giving and leaving this legacy. So for
538
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:09.400
you listeners and viewersho've not heard me
say this before, I'm going to share
539
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:14.159
with you because we've got some time
to do this. There are from a
540
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:16.880
logo therapeutic vantage point, there's three
sources of meaning that we have available to
541
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:21.159
us all the time as human beings. And by the way, according to
542
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.840
logo therapy and I would agree with
this, our number one pursuit in life
543
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.679
is meaning. That's what we're all
out to get and be into experience is
544
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.119
meaning. So these three sources of
meaning, and doctor Munos, you just
545
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:36.360
spoke to them, although maybe not
intentionally, but I can use your story
546
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:38.920
now as a way to teach is
that the first source of meaning that we
547
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:44.599
have access to is creative, our
creative values, our creative contributions, and
548
00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:47.000
that's what we give of ourselves to
the world. But the reason that becomes
549
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:52.960
meaningful is because we value that which
we contribute. So if I contribute,
550
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:57.880
for example, I could contribute it
pretty fantastically typewritten manuscript written by someone else
551
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:01.079
that would not be meaningful to me
because I didn't create it from myself.
552
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.599
I did it. I have a
talent that I used to be able to
553
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.679
bring somebody else's work to the world
that wouldn't be valuable or meaningful for me.
554
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:12.440
So the first one that creative.
Then I translate that to passion.
555
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:15.519
So what I hear in your work, doctor Munhoz, is you are passionate
556
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:22.519
about creating this legacy that allows you
to express your own intellectual abilities and your
557
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:27.920
capacity to learn and grow in such
a way that it, secondarily to the
558
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.440
next source, inspires others. Okay, so then Our second source of meaning
559
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:37.079
is those experiences and encounters that are
meaningful, that again that align with our
560
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:42.280
value system, that reaised for us
as meaningful. And so this experience alone,
561
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:46.039
for me is an inspiration because you've
given something to me, doctor Muneis.
562
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:50.280
By reading your book and by sharing
with my listeners, you gave me
563
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.159
an experience that's meaningful to me.
And so what I would say is that
564
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:58.639
you, being an author and a
speaker and what you're doing across the world
565
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:02.239
with your consulting is a way for
you to inspire others to come along with
566
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:07.119
you, to create their legacy and
to live it. So that's the experiential
567
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:13.320
inspirational vein. And then the last
source of meaning is attitudinal and that's the
568
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:17.480
stance that we as individuals take against
anything that confronts us in life. And
569
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:22.559
we always have the freedom and the
responsibility to choose that attitude. And that's
570
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.159
of course the mindset piece. So
I hear you. You said the beginning
571
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.400
of the show that you had spent
several years in industry in the last twenty
572
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:35.199
years now in academia, and so
you're you've chosen this path to make the
573
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:38.039
difference. Through this path, that
is an attitudal choice. So, now
574
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:43.719
that I've said those three sources of
meaning, I've just been curious how that
575
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:45.880
lended for you. What did you
get from your own experience in this legacy
576
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:54.079
that you're out to create. Well, one is that the insight I gathered
577
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:59.880
alicis I'm glad I took this path. Yeah, I feel happy, and
578
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.760
uh, you know if I did
not. You know, I do multiple
579
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:07.920
things that I do business, I
write, and and and I teach,
580
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:13.519
and so there are different pathways by
which I try to make an impact in
581
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:17.480
others lives, and and all of
them make me happy. And I could
582
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:22.920
I couldn't uh uh do you know
just ignore one? You know, there
583
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:27.840
it has to somewhat come together.
All these three are happening simultaneously, and
584
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:32.760
they all bring me some level of
joy. And I think the convergence of
585
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:38.519
these three allow me to kind of, you know, make a unique contribution,
586
00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:43.559
perhaps because there are things that I
could say in the classroom that were
587
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:46.159
you know, developed from my business
experiences. And there are things in my
588
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:50.440
in my business that I could take
from what I've learned in the classroom,
589
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:53.639
and they're you know, obviously in
my books, there are experiences from both
590
00:42:53.679 --> 00:43:00.159
areas that I could bring together.
So although it wasn't intention, I just
591
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:06.000
followed my interest and what I was, you know, I felt passionate about
592
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:10.440
and then and then use them in
some way to help others. I think
593
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:15.320
that's kind of where it all is, and hopefully that's the way I will
594
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:20.239
be remembered as well. M So
a last week on the radio, so
595
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:23.039
we talked with Brandon Peel, who
is a purpose guide and he also does
596
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:28.159
this really amazing thing where which he
and I are aligning on, where he
597
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.840
talks about, you know, the
the awareness of the cosmos and that there
598
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:36.679
is this interactivity between all beings and
the cosmos, which I completely align on
599
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:38.679
and part of my next book will
address that as well. And so what
600
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:42.280
I when you talk about what you
just said there, docum window, is
601
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.960
what I hear at work is what
I would call the divining rod at work
602
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:49.400
right, which I you know,
it worked in my life too, where
603
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.840
I just followed. When we when
we're really clear about who we are,
604
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.239
and we're obedient to that which is
arising within us, that which is called
605
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.119
and whispering in our ears saying hey, do this, this is important to
606
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.199
you. It's when we ignore that
when I is when I think we get
607
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:07.800
ourselves into trouble and we lose the
anchor to fulfillment and purpose and meaning.
608
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:13.320
So what I hear you say is
that you were you were just obedient to
609
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:17.559
that internal source, whatever that is
for you. Alice, you are spot
610
00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:22.519
on, and it's it's just mind
bobbling. You really got it. I
611
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:27.800
mean, it's that that's really the
truth. It seems like I'm just obeying
612
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:31.559
orders. I'm just following what I'm
supposed to do. In fact, Alice,
613
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.639
you know this book, uh,
you know, creating a personal and
614
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:40.360
business legacy. There were three instances
where this book may not have happened.
615
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:46.159
You know, there were and all
of these instances just melted. You know,
616
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:50.239
there were the roadblocks, and then
it just melted away. You know,
617
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:52.920
a roadblock, it just melted.
It's just you know, and then
618
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.679
a publisher just supported it. I
wasn't so short it was gonna be books.
619
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.320
Some said it was too short,
some said, you know it was
620
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:05.119
uh it was not right there there, Alley, because it wasn't exactly business.
621
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.159
It was a little bit different from
from my typical publishers. But then
622
00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:12.559
I found the right publishers. You
know what, when we're thinking about developing
623
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:16.199
employees and and looking at their you
know, career development, this is a
624
00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:20.719
perfect book. So you know,
uh, it just it just so upened
625
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:24.079
and and it just made me understand
at that point in time that this book
626
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:29.239
was meant to be. And it's
uh, you know, it's hopefully you
627
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:31.119
know, you know what what I
when I write books, Alice, it's
628
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:34.920
a lot of work, as you
know. Uh, but at the end
629
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:38.760
of the day, my my thinking
is if my book just impacts one life,
630
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:44.440
just one, I'd be very very
happy and I feel very very fulfilled,
631
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:47.760
you know. And but as you
said, I'm just obeying orders.
632
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.000
Yeah, and so two things.
That's so beautiful what you just presenced.
633
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.239
And I want you to listen,
listeners and viewers that you noticed what happened
634
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:59.440
when you share that, how you
could just see him his whole soul was
635
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:01.440
coming through what he was saying.
That's what that's just it's so beautiful to
636
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:06.559
witness when when you're working from passion
and purpose, that's what it looks like,
637
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:07.880
that's what it feels like, and
it's there's so much we can do
638
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:13.400
from that. And so that whole
notion of just being pure and true to
639
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.880
what it is trying to come through
you. To give that to the world,
640
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:21.039
that's the gift. And so I
just want to say thank you for
641
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.639
honoring that doctumu, and thank you
are we are the beneficiaries of that.
642
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:28.840
Because you followed through and you listen
to that, and you were obedient,
643
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.840
and you did the hard work and
persevered and implemented and followed it through.
644
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.519
We now are the beneficiaries of that. So thank you for following your heart
645
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:42.519
and your spirit and your soul and
your purpose. Thank you for you're added
646
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:47.000
insights, Alison, bringing clarity to
some of these You know, at times,
647
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:51.079
you know, I'm not so sure
and how it happened or why it
648
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:55.159
happened. But I think your insights
today just kind of enlightened me quite a
649
00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:59.480
bit and said, you know,
maybe I love to be reading your book
650
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:05.440
too. I think there's just so
much synergy between what we're doing. Yeah,
651
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.119
I do too. And again,
you know, we were paying attention,
652
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:13.039
we thought we were obedient to this
internal debinding around and here we are
653
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:15.800
together and we created something that didn't
exist before. And I'm grateful that you
654
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:20.159
got some new insights. I love
doing that with people. It is part
655
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:24.800
of my gift and I appreciate that
you took it and the contributed contributive spirit
656
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.079
in which I intended it. So
thank you for that. And here we
657
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:30.480
are already at the end of the
show. I don't know how fast.
658
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:35.199
It just always evaporates, especially when
we're having fun. So you know,
659
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.199
doctor Munoz, that this show is
listened to by people across the globe,
660
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:42.960
and we're all in it really to
try to help create environments where people can
661
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.599
experience that meeting in their lives and
their work, and where inspirational leaders make
662
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:51.320
a difference to people and we help
raise the bar business. Having said that,
663
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.079
what do we leave our listeners with
today, Well, Alice, I
664
00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:58.400
think you know, whatever a role
is in society. Wherever in the world
665
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:01.800
we are, we all have talents, we have interests, we have resources
666
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:07.679
that would enable us to make an
important and lasting impact on society. We
667
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:12.280
can do this in a personal level
or even in a corporate level. We
668
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:15.480
are all in a position to make
a difference. And at times, you
669
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:19.320
know, there are people who watch
things happen and there are people who make
670
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:23.119
things happen. So I would encourage
everybody to make an effort to make things
671
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:29.840
happen, to pursue their legacy dreams
and make it a reality. And I
672
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:34.480
would like to, you know,
to encourage everyone to do it as soon
673
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:39.960
as possible, as early as possible. And I'm fairly sure that if you
674
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:45.199
do that, then you would find
a new sense of happiness and a renewed
675
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.280
sense of fulfillment. Thank you,
Alice. Oh my gosh, what a
676
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:52.000
delicious way to finish the show.
Doc to Mrinyos, thank you so very

better world. We talked about some
of the science behind purpose, why it
688
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:37.400
works, and even looked at the
purpose of the United States and other nations
689
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:42.400
as they re evaluate why they're here. Fascinating, very very meaty conversation.

Decatur, Illinois. Doctor Munio is welcome
27
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.240
to Working on Purpose. Hi,
thank you for having me today, Alice,
28
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.879
you are so welcome. I want
to also call out and share that
29
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.560
we were brought together because we were
both featured on the India Chamber of Commerce
30
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.479
some months ago and that's how we
found each other. And of course it
31
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.599
was sort of a gravitational poll to
one another. So it has to start
32
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.159
with a course, I have to
ask why you became a professor and author,
33
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.080
because I have a suspicion that's part
of the poll here. That's right.
34
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:39.000
Well, I've spent about fifteen years
in industry prior to becoming an author,
35
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:44.520
a professor and an author. You
know, I've had a career where
36
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.800
I traveled in different parts of the
world and did all sorts of business,
37
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.960
and just came a stage in my
life where I said, you know what,
38
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.759
I have an MBA, I have
a PhD. Why didn't I just
39
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.199
start giving back? You know,
why didn't I share my experiences and skills
40
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.319
and help others learn and grow?
And so that motivated me to join the
41
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:08.199
academ and to become a professor,
and eventually shortly after that I ended up
42
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.719
starting to write books and yeah,
and hopefully over the years I've made some
43
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.280
kind of impact both in both in
academ and in publishing. M Well,
44
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.879
it's so interesting, right whatever we're
into each and of ourselves individually as human
45
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.759
beings, it makes so much sense
to us, and we don't necessarily always
46
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.080
understand why nobody else seems to get
this, and I love learning and growing
47
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.039
too, and of course I devour
books on it. Like somebody said,
48
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.719
you read books like I eat cookies, which I am love, right and
49
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.479
so right for both of us,
learning and growing is really important, and
50
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.919
I really appreciate that you've now spent
the last several years of your life dedicated
51
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.800
to learning and growing and giving back
that same gift to others. Yeah,
52
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.159
indeed, it's almost been twenty years. I think this year is going to
53
00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:00.000
be my twentieth year in the academ
Yeah, it's beautiful, it's beautiful.
54
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.879
Well, well, of course,
when we first met, I think you
55
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.479
would have easily gravitated to my space
of meaning and purpose. And then that's
56
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.599
when you said, hey, I've
got I've got a new book out on
57
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.840
legacy. I wonder if that would
be something worth chatting about on your show,
58
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.840
And of course it is. So
you wrote it. You said to
59
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.839
inspire people to live a life of
contribution, and of course I am completely
60
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:23.000
with you on that urging people to
do So why is that important to you?
61
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.360
Well, I think you know from
what I've seen in my travels and
62
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.199
even in the academic setting, you
know, people have unique talents, abilities,
63
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.720
resources, you know, and sometimes
some of them put them into good
64
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.360
use and others don't. And my
thinking is, you know, we should
65
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.199
have more and more people think about, you know, about their legacy and
66
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.000
how do they really want to be
remembered. So the book is really more
67
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.000
of a call to action to say, you know, don't just dream about
68
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.480
your legacy, you know, pursue
it. You know, like you said
69
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.560
where you're you know, we need
to think about we all have a purpose
70
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.680
in life in some shape or form. I'm hoping that you know, this
71
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:11.079
book and Legacy will inspire people to
really uncover their legacy and to take proactive
72
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.319
ways to make an impact. Oh, Mark, So one of the great
73
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.839
things that unites us is I and
I'll say more about this as we go
74
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.160
on, but I wrote my first
book, Purpose Ignited, last It came
75
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.680
out last last November, and it's
really about awakening. It's about a wakening
76
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.839
passion and purpose. This next book
that I'm writing about is really about activating
77
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.639
and much like you're talking about a
call to action. So we have that
78
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.879
very much in common. And I
think one of the things that I found
79
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.839
so fascinating about your book to really
help them. Along is your concept of
80
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.920
memorial capacity. Would you explain what
that is and the five levels you talk
81
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.800
about? Sure, you know,
I think you know. With regard to
82
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.319
memorial capacity, I think there are
different ways by which different levels in which
83
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:59.360
a person can be remembered, and
memorial capacity refers to the ability of an
84
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.120
individual to be remembered in future generations. And in my view, there are
85
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:10.480
five levels you know that exist.
Level one would be that of extraordinary memorial
86
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.720
capacity. You know, those who
have made an impact, you know that
87
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.600
that can be remembered over a thousand
years. So I'm thinking, you know,
88
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.879
Jesus Christ, you know, would
be an example, or Sidharta.
89
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:26.600
Gautama might be an example. And
then the second level two would be very
90
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.160
high memorial capacity. So these are
people who are remembered for their accomplishments for
91
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:35.639
a period of over five hundred years. So I'm thinking William Shakespeare or Rembrandt,
92
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.800
and that there's a level three high
memorial capacity. You know, people
93
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.519
who are remembered for over one hundred
years for their remarkable achievements. I'm thinking
94
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.600
musicians, authors, businessmen, inventors, politicians. I'm thinking Abraham Lincoln would
95
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.360
be an example. And then there's
level four moderate memorial capacity. These are
96
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.600
you know, and well loved personalities
who continue to be in people's minds for
97
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:09.160
you know, around fifty years or
so. So I'm thinking, you know,
98
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:14.079
professionals and entrepreneurs or even family members
like grandparents, you know, so
99
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.120
those those would be at level four. And then level five is low memorial
100
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:23.480
capacity. Those individuals who after you
know, shortly after their passing are forgotten,
101
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.439
not because they have you know,
lack of skills or lack of resources,
102
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.439
but perhaps they didn't do as much
and try to make an impact in
103
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.240
the world. So I'm really you
know, in the book, I'm trying
104
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:39.920
to encourage people to really try to
go up closer to but we may not
105
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.480
all be level one and level two, but you know, go up a
106
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.240
little bit higher maybe and look at
ways by which you could really make broader
107
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.560
and more meaningful impact, you know, in the lives of others. I
108
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:58.759
think that that typology is extremely useful, Mark because really helpful to expand beyond
109
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.160
their own spear of understanding, influence, thinking, et cetera, to really
110
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.800
consider what could they do, as
I like to say, with this one
111
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.399
precious life, and what I find
is that one amount speaking on these kinds
112
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.720
of topics and really trying to inspire
people to live their biggest, best,
113
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.079
highest self and contribution. There's fear
of that. People are like, well,
114
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.680
I'm okay the way that I am. You know, this is a
115
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.240
nice life, et cetera. I'm
like, and yes it is, and
116
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.560
will you be happy with that when
your day finally comes and you're no longer
117
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.799
here. So I really appreciate how
you've given us this perspective on what we
118
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.559
can do in our lives, that
we really do have this capacity to really
119
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.879
make a difference, well beyond what
we what we think we can, so
120
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.039
really appreciate just it's just crisp,
it's clear, it's accessible. So thank
121
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.759
you for that. And then if
you would next along that same line,
122
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.639
you also speak about five aspects of
legacy that I also think is useful.
123
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.159
Can you paint those for us?
Certainly in the book I mentioned this,
124
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.879
I gave you some serious thought that
said, you know, what are ways
125
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.039
which people are really come up with
their legacy? And you know, and
126
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:11.360
I broken down I identified five areas
by which you know legacy can be implemented
127
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.879
and applied. The first one Uh
is theft? You know, Uh,
128
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.399
what is the theft of the impact
that we're making. So for example,
129
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.759
if you save one a life of
a person, you know, if you're
130
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.120
a doctor or a nurse or you
know, you save a life or that's
131
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.559
a deep impact. You know,
there's a the impact that you've made is
132
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.440
deep and it has a lot of
theft. Uh. If you've educated a
133
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.879
person, you know, the impact
is again quite deep. The second one
134
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.200
is scale. How many lives have
you touched or impacted? So, for
135
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.080
example, if you're a best selling
author whose books you know on self help
136
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.279
has impacted the lives of so many
people and changed the course of their lives,
137
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.320
that's a huge scale of impact.
You know. So if you're a
138
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.759
humanitarian who's donated a lot of money
and and the money was used to you
139
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.879
know, to find cure for malaria
or some other things, and provided inexpensive
140
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:13.360
drugs in developing nations, that's a
huge scale of impact. And then we
141
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.960
also think about scope. I think
there are individuals who have a legacy impact
142
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.759
across different levels. So I'm thinking
of let's say, an actress who did
143
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.960
an amazing job in the entertainment industry
is very well recognized, but at the
144
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.279
same time she also maybe has donated
a lot of money you know in the
145
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.720
art you know as that as a
favorite philanthropy. And then at the same
146
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.879
time, this person might have taken
the lead in fighting world hunger. So
147
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.200
you know, doing three different,
multiple things across different levels, I think
148
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.879
broadens the scope of impact. So
there are those that apply legacy in that
149
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.639
way. And then there's this time, you know, the element of time
150
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.399
when did you start making an impact? So I'm thinking, you know,
151
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:05.600
a person who has started perhaps you
know, doing political activism uh at the
152
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:11.159
age of you know, maybe during
the teen teenage years and continue continuing it
153
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.919
throughout their entire lives would have a
lot of time that they put in uh
154
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.799
to you know, to further their
you know, the impact that they want
155
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.919
to make in the world. And
then there's inertia, you know, the
156
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.759
kind of energy you put into into
your legacy. So there may be you
157
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.720
know, somebody who was put in
maybe an hour or two a month to
158
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.720
forward is her legacy compared to one
who has done it, you know,
159
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.320
who puts in hundreds of hours a
month to do so, you know,
160
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.080
could have very different results with the
kind of impact that they are achieving.
161
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.039
So in my view, there's the
five ways by which to think about our
162
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.480
legacies and how we're impacting the world, depth, scale, scope, time,
163
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.000
and inertia mm hmm. So of
course has cginning of this titlement as
164
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.519
well as designed to get us thinking
about in the ways that we can really
165
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.759
access and peel back the layers of
legacy. And then finally you talk about
166
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.480
pathways, or you describe eight pathways, if you could discuss those next,
167
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.399
Yes, those eight uh, you
know, they're actually perhaps more than eight
168
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.200
legacy pathways, but for a purpose
of pravity and simplicity in the book,
169
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:30.559
I picked eight uh. And the
idea is to really encourage people to think,
170
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.840
you know, which which of these
might best fit them, you know,
171
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.399
depending on their life situation and their
goals in life. So the first
172
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.519
legacy pathway I've identified is financial legacy. So this could be you know,
173
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:50.120
a person perhaps who has extra financial
resources and decide to to you know,
174
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.559
use those resources to do philantrophic work
or to donate to certain charities would be
175
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.399
an example, but I'm thinking of
more like Bill Gates, you know,
176
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.320
who has built quite a fortune and
then sharing a lot of that eventually in
177
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.679
a later stage of his life,
you know, on philanthropic work. So
178
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:13.000
then there's also social social legacy,
you know, by finding ways by which
179
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.679
interaction across people can be developed.
So I'm thinking, you know, maybe
180
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.240
a person who created a web platform
that allow social interactions to happen in a
181
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.879
profound way. So I'm thinking Facebook
and Mark Zuckerberg would be an example of
182
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.159
a social legacy. But there are
also political legacies. You know, maybe
183
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:37.200
a political leader or a president of
a country who suddenly, you know,
184
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.399
came up with decisions that changed the
course of a nation. I'm thinking Abraham
185
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.320
Lincoln as an example. And then
there's intellectual legacy. You know, an
186
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.480
inventor who created a product that industrialized
the world, So I'm thinking Thomas Edison
187
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.240
would be an example of that.
And then there's spiritual legacy, a person
188
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:03.000
who initiated a revolutionary spiritual movement.
Maybe Martin Luther or Mother Theresa would fit
189
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:09.480
in that category. And then there's
cultural legacy, an activist perhaps who inspired
190
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.919
non violent civil disobedience, so I'm
thinking Mahatma Gandhi would be an example.
191
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.960
Physical could be one where you use
your physical attributes and talented skills uh to
192
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.639
be remembered by. And I'm thinking
maybe an Olympian who has won twenty eight
193
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:33.759
gold medals and became the most decorated
Olympia in the world. I'm thinking Michael
194
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.159
Phelps, you know, so those
kind of things, and Leslie historical.
195
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.799
Maybe an explorer who uncovered another part
of the world or changed the course of
196
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:50.120
history. So I'm thinking Christopher Columbus
would be an example. So these are
197
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.360
pathways. There are different multiple legacy
pathways, different things that we could use
198
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.200
to make our own impact in the
world. Beautifully illustrated, Mark, thank
199
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.320
you so much. And listeners and
viewers, by the way, as you're
200
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.759
listening to this, if any of
you are feeling like, oh my gosh,
201
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.799
you're talking about leaving a legacy like
Jesus Christ or Martin Luther King or
202
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.480
Mother Teresa, oh my gosh,
wow, that's a big step on the
203
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.080
path. That's all we're asking here. This is an illuminative journey. This
204
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.399
isn't this is this is an invitation
for you to step into what I call
205

00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.840
conversation is about. And on that
note, let's grab our first break.

with us, and welcome back to working
219
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.799
on purpose. If you haven't heard
me say this, I'm very excited to
220
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.840
share with you that I've got my
first book at I'm way behind you,
221
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.720
Doctor Munos. But I've got my
first book out. It's called Purpose Ignited,
222
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.840
How Inspiring Leaders Ignite Passion and a
light Cause. It came out of
223
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:53.759
November. It was my pandemic Baby. I'm very happy to share that with
224
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.519
you, and I really wrote it
to turn readers onto their passion, inspiration
225
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.039
and purpose, So that's why I
wrote it. It's something for all of
226
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.880
us if you're desjoining the program.
My guest is doctor Mark Munoz. He's
227
00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:08.440
a full He's a tenured full professor
of Management and International Business at Milican University.
228
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.920
So at this point we wanted to
get into really moving into more of
229
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.920
those fictional stories that you wrote about
in your book, which I really think
230
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.319
do a beautiful job of helping readers
get access to what this could look like
231
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.359
for themselves. And stories are so
powerful. Right as I was reading your
232
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.680
book, Mark, I was just
like, Oh, this is brilliant,
233
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.559
right, stories are the way to
go. And you wrote eight fictional stories
234
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.000
to presence and inspire the possibility of
legacy for the readers. And of course
235
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.680
they they're memorable. I can remember
some of them already. So I guess
236
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.000
what I want to get to here
is what do you most want your readers
237
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.400
to walk away with by having read
those stories, what do you hope they
238
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.440
get? Yes, well, you
know, as you read a book,
239
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:56.000
I'd like to highlight three characters in
the book, Jack Wilson. You know,
240
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.400
again these are all fictional but plausible
scenarios. The individual who suddenly,
241
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.200
at this one stage in his lives
that enoughviously enough, I made enough money.
242
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.920
Let me try to find a way
to make a global impact and found
243
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.720
a philanthropic cost that he was interested
in. And then there's Philip court Gomez
244
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.359
who was you know, into politics. It was a politician, but then
245
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.240
he wanted to change the course of
politics in a country, in that case
246
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.160
the Philippines. And then there was
a case of Heavy Roberts, a student
247
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:33.319
in London who created a software to
try to mitigate the negative influences of artificial
248
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:38.519
intelligence. And so the takeaway really
I wanted to show through these stories is,
249
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.000
you know, everybody has their own
talent, skills and abilities, and
250
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.160
everybody is in a position, you
know, to make some sort of impact
251
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.759
in some shape or form, you
know, depending on where they're strong at,
252
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.480
what their interests are, and the
kind of change that they want to
253
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.720
make. In this world. So
it's not just we're a handful of people.
254
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.839
You know, anybody can, as
long as you're willing, can really
255
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:11.799
make an impact. And I'm along
alongside of you, Mark, I'm imploring
256
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.640
all of us to do that right. And one of the things that I've
257
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.920
really gotten present to, especially in
this pandemic, is I really believe that
258
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.960
every single last one of us needs
to reach deep within to be able to
259
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.079
find whatever talents and gifts that we
have and bring them to the world because
260
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:27.359
we need that desperately. We need
to be able to create the world that
261
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.680
we all want to live in.
It takes each one of us bringing our
262
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.160
best to make that happen. And
so one of the things that I also
263
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.759
appreciated about your book is that you
talk about how legacy needs to align with
264
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.960
purpose and mission, which is of
course what you just sort of started talking
265
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.079
about, and what I'm talking about
the same word about that. Why from
266
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.759
your perspective, is legacy important to
align with purpose and mission? Yeah,
267
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.440
I think we all have a purpose
and mission in life, you know,
268
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.799
and we all have some seeds of
goodness in our hearts, and we want
269
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.759
to make a positive difference in our
world. In some shape or form.
270
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.720
When we don't accomplish what we're set
to do, we become unhappy, you
271
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.880
know, and I feel that we're
you know, when we're not really accomplishing
272
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.079
what we're set to do. Uh, you know, we feel like we're
273
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.039
lost. So i'd like to you
know, that's kind of why I think
274
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.240
it's important, of course to be
to think about our purpose. But I'd
275
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:23.519
like to take the conversation further and
to expand the thinking into it. Right,
276
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.200
how do we really want to be
remembered? You know? What is
277
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.839
your legacy? Uh? And I
think aligning one's purpose with a legacy,
278
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.720
you know, and thinking about you
know, how we want to be remembered
279
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.880
is I think one way by which
we can find a renewed sense of happiness
280
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:48.279
and a renewed sense of fulfillment.
M And from my work as a logo
281
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.559
therapist, of course, as doctor
Ritter Frankel's work in existential psychology, is
282
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.640
what I know is that when we
don't register that, we experience what's called
283
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.279
the existential vacuum, which is where
depression sets in. These sets in people
284
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.319
find ways to amuse themselves to fill
that hole, and it's usually not productive
285
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.200
unless we could find a way to
actually be of service to it to the
286
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.519
world, which is of course what
we both stand for. And so of
287
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.920
course, one of the things that
I appreciate about your book, which is
288
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.240
easy to read and easy to digest, is you actually talk about a plan.
289
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.680
You talk about that some key aspects
of a strategic legacy plan. Would
290
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:25.400
you share at least a few of
them to get our readers and our listeners
291
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:30.119
and our viewers starting down that path. Yeah, I think a common mistake
292
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.480
about in legacies that you know,
people have great ideas, but execution is
293
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:40.160
the problem. You know. We
see that in business, we see that
294
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.920
in life and all that. And
so my suggestion is, all right,
295
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.720
let's stop this pass. Let's give
this some thought, and what if we
296
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.480
pursue our legacy the way we pursue
a business, you know, and when
297
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:55.240
you start a business, we plan, right, We're supposed to create a
298
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.920
business plan where we look at the
management team, we look at our vision,
299
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.279
mission, we look at the marketing
side of things, we look at
300
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.599
the financial side, we prepare,
you know. And so when we what
301
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.759
I'd like the readers to do,
and of course our listeners, is when
302
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.920
you think about legacy and you think
about implementing it, you know, think
303
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.160
about things. You know, I
take a plan carefully, you know,
304
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:26.000
look at the different angles, different
elements on the implementation part of it to
305
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:33.079
make sure that it's successfully executed.
Mm hmmmm. And again why I wanted
306
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.759
to make sure that you talk about
this mark is that one thing that I
307
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.119
know, and I talk about this
in my speaking and my programs, is
308
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.920
that you know, it's it helps
us so much if we even just start
309
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.720
the process of aiming, of strategizing, of planning, I mean to plan
310
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.680
to be of service, plan to
bee of something in the world, and
311
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.000
it's not And this is really important. I thought about this as I was
312
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.480
crafting the conversation for the show.
Is in some ways I think of legacy
313
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.680
as being a byproduct to really being
of serve to the world. However,
314
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.720
planning to matter is important from my
betage point, I want I want more
315
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.759
people to do that. So one
of the other things that you speak about
316
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.880
in your book that's related to this
no Show a strategic legacy plan is the
317
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:18.480
importance of creativity. Say more about
that. Yes, you know, I
318
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.519
noted that in business and even in
life, you know, sometimes it's out
319
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:27.640
of the box thinking. It's innovative
and creative approaches really lead to amazing results,
320
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.240
you know, and so the same
can be applied to legacy. So
321
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.519
when we're you know, for example, if a company you know or executive
322
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:41.759
and a company besides to all right, let me try to create a artificial
323
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:47.319
intelligence product that will help farming,
you know, that will help improve agriculture.
324
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.759
And let me come up with a
product or service that will allow this
325
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:56.680
to be used in expensively by farmers
all over the world. So that gesture,
326
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.240
we suddenly, you know, out
of the box thinking, creative which
327
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.440
can now be implemented and used by
many people and could have a huge impact.
328
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:10.960
So that's one example by which you
know, we can use innovative thinking,
329
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.519
creative thinking to really make an impact
in some shape or form. I
330
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.880
want to add to that Doctumunio's and
that is that I think one of the
331
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.279
things that most of us have gotten
from living in this pandemic for about a
332
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.880
year now is that if we've learned
nothing, it's to find different ways to
333
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.160
get things done right and things that
maybe we're always there, but we just
334
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.200
couldn't see them. And so I
guess what I would want to say to
335
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:38.119
add on to what you talk about
about creativity and innovation is the importance of
336
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.799
really looking, you know, like
literally have you looked under your desk?
337
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.039
I mean, what does that view
look like? It's amazing what happens when
338
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.960
we just do things a little bit
differently, how the world suddenly appears very
339
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.279
different to us. And I just
want to encourage all the listeners and viewers
340
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.839
to really think about that, that
there really are a multitude number of ways
341
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.359
to get things done, but most
of us tend to go back on our
342
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.880
autopilot and that's what we already know
and that we've been doing for years and
343
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.039
years, and that's so limiting.
It may not get you there. So
344
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:10.480
I just really want to encourage and
build on what you said, doctor Munhoz
345
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:14.319
about the importance of harnessing that creativity. Anything else do you want to add
346
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:19.240
to that? I think, uh, I think we really again be intentional
347
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:25.559
in being creative and understand that,
you know, creativity can really open up
348
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.440
new doors and new perspectives. And
yeah, I like you. I like
349
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.519
your view of you know, looking
at different angles, taking on different perspectives,
350
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:40.920
and I think would be a good
way to find exciting legacy pathways.
351
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.559
Yes, yes, to matter.
Right. One of the things that I
352
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.359
really know because of my research is
that most everybody wants to matter. We
353
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:51.839
all want to know that we don't
get through the end of this life and
354
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:56.240
nobody notices that we are here,
right, And so a part of a
355
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.279
big, important part of that is
that we are social beings. And so
356
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.039
one of the things that I really
appreciate about your plan is the importance of
357
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.119
engaging others. And for some of
us, myself included, that does not
358
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.480
come naturally. Right. I love
people, and I love synergy, and
359
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.920
I love teamwork, but it's not
necessarily the first thing that I go to.
360
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.759
So talk more about how we can
leverage the notion of engaging others for
361
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.119
our strategic plan. Yeah, you
know, when I was thinking about legacy,
362
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.400
at least, one of the things
that I noticed is that we can
363
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.960
only do so much by pursuing our
legacy plans alone. So an analogy I
364
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.839
would use is, you know somebody
who's just roaming a canoe by himself or
365
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.799
herself, but if you have four
or five people rowing that canoe together,
366
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:44.119
you'll go farther faster. So the
same with legacy planning. You know,
367
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:48.440
we got to find ways by which
we could maybe have a committed team uh
368
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.880
to do it, to join us
in our journey, or and better yet,
369
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.880
engage you know, many other stakeholders. You know, for example,
370
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.200
if you are you know, your
company is doing a social enterprise, you
371
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:06.519
know, maybe you could engage suppliers, sponsors, the government, academ you
372
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:11.000
know, broaden the scope of engagement
with others so that you will have more
373
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.640
people rowing that cano with you,
you know, and taking your legacy dreams
374
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:22.319
forward in a faster and more efficient
way. M hm. Now here,
375
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.119
I just have to shime in as
a Gallop certified strengths coach. And so
376
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.880
this is where the idea of listeners
and viewers. If you're like, well,
377
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.319
you know, yeah, I'm really
am good at at ideas or I'm
378
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:34.359
really good at execution one or the
other, Well, that's where you bring
379
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.640
to other people who have other skills
and strengths and tells that you don't have.
380
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.759
Like for me, for example,
I am really good. I used
381
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:44.480
to be really really good at really
just getting things done. And over the
382
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.759
years I've taught myself more to create
and think and cogitate but when I really
383
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.759
get stuck and I don't know how
to bring something forward, I go to
384
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.880
my friends, my strategic thinking friends
who can see a different way that I
385
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.839
can't, and I borrow them and
I leverage them and we work together.
386
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.440
And those of you that are really
strong and great ideas but short on execution,
387
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.440
you bring those people that want to
get something done. They need to
388
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.319
bring that game and ball over the
line. That is what it takes right
389
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.200
to really create this. So I
just really wanted to call out the notion
390
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:18.920
that there's absolutely nothing wrong with you
needing and wanting other people to be involved.
391
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.000
In fact, really to really make
the difference that doctor Munhos and are
392
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.160
talking about, You're probably absolutely going
to need that. Anything else you want
393
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.559
to say about that, doctor Munihou, yes, sal Is yes. You
394
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.559
know, just like in a company, when you do a startup, you
395
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.920
will hire maybe an accountant, you
will hire a marketing person because those are
396
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:38.319
skill sets that you don't necessarily have. And so again, having different talent
397
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:45.319
on board can help steal some of
the implementation gaps that you might have and
398
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:51.559
could heighten the chances of the success
of your legacy project. Excellent and beautiful.
399
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:53.079
I want to talk more about the
implementation piece. That's the next piece
400
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.160
we're going to tackle. But let's
grab our last and final break. I'm

417
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.039
share with you, if you haven't
learned this already by being listening to the
418
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.720

That's a twenty percent discount when you start
423
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.519
with one of our classes. So
you see you there. It's great job,
424
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.720
so fun if you're just joining us. My guest today from Dicator,
425
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:02.039
Illinois doctor Mark Munos. He's a
ten year full professor of management and International
426
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:07.640
business at Milcan University. And we
were talking before about the importance of implementation,
427
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.519
right, So it's one thing to
have a really great idea, but
428
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.160
where the Robbert really needs the roads
to make it happen. So you talk
429
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.440
about implementation in your book, say
more about that. Yes, really,
430
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:25.240
execution is key. So great legacy
ideas can be implemented in the wrong way
431
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.279
or at the wrong time. So
therefore, you know, really planning ahead,
432
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.680
thinking about the timing, preparing for
it, I think would be a
433
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.640
good way forward. So we need
to prepare a well well thought out plan
434
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:42.799
to implement our legacy to really make
the impact that we really want, is
435
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.359
what I'm thinking, Alice, and
I think again back to our previous points,
436
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.200
you're probably going to need some help
to actually really fully bake that out.
437
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.279
If you're not used to creating a
strategic plan. Again, get some
438
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:56.440
help. There's nothing wrong with asking
for help. In fact, most of
439
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.640
us who recognize that we can't do
it alone do it all the time.
440
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:01.799
Hi can you help me? Hi? What's your name? Can you help
441
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.160
me? I've gotten really good at
that myself. And then, of course
442
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:09.799
the next thing that you talk about, and this is so important, is
443
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:13.640
to stay at the course, stay
with it, don't give up on it,
444
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:17.640
because the going will absolutely get tough. Yeah, definitely, you know,
445
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.799
any initiative, legacy planning included will
have obstacles to success. You know,
446
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:28.160
there's no easy route when pursuing groundbreaking
and impactful initiatives. I would really
447
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.960
recommend staying the course even when the
going gets rough, you know, and
448
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.960
the timing may not be great at
the moment. But with perseverance, you
449
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.000
know, legacy goals can be achieved
down the road. Patients, perseverance I
450
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:45.319
think would be important too. Yeah, and again I want to go back
451
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.359
in presence. I mean, what
we're talking about here, listeners and viewers
452
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.279
is really it's big stuff. It's
heavy stuff, and it's that thing that
453
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.160
we're both asking you to do is
to stretch beyond yourself and be a bigger
454
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:59.440
service to the world than you think
you maybe can be today. It's the
455
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:02.200
stretch that matters, and actually there's
actually life in this stretch. That's what
456
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:06.720
I would tell you as a logo
therapist is even if you don't actually make
457
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:10.880
your plan come entirely true, the
stretch and reach are more will actually give
458
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.359
you more likelihood that you'll get there
and you'll be more alive in the process.
459
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.119
So just really want to encourage you
to do this, right, to
460
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.920
consider this. This is needy stuff, but this is where this is the
461
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:25.759
essence of life. So that's why
I wanted to have doctor Munoz on the
462
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.440
show. Is what he's talking about
is really important, and he's written something
463
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:34.640
that makes it much more accessible for
you to get there than maybe what it
464
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.720
sounded like on the outside of the
show. So my two cents on that.
465
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:45.160
Now, let's talk about planning your
legacy. You actually talk us through
466
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.160
a few of if you would,
to the extent that you can. You
467
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.559
talk about eight areas people need to
take into consideration as they consider their current
468
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:57.319
and accessible resources for these. Can
you presence some of those? We should
469
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.359
have time for most of them if
you can get to them. Yeah,
470
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:05.839
definitely. So we have all you
know, different pathways and different resources.
471
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.159
So when we think about legacy,
uh, you know, uh, let's
472
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:12.760
say financial legacy as a start.
You know, let's look at that as
473
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.039
an example. U. There are
key questions we need to think about and
474
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.360
how we can execute this well.
So you might want to think about how
475
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.440
much resources do I have at the
moment, you know, how can I
476
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.599
leverage these resources to make an impact? We want to think about what other
477
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:30.840
resources do I need to attract?
Who would benefit from these resources the most
478
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:36.679
and what should I prioritize and what
should be the impact? So, you
479
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:40.679
know, giving it some really strategic
thinking behind. Putting some strategic thinking behind
480
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.239
it could help you, you know, really push the envelope on. With
481
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:51.039
regard to these legacy plans, Let's
talk about a little bit about social legacy.
482
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:53.760
So, you know, the key
questions to ask yourself would be what
483
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:59.119
is the current state of my social
capital, how can it be enhanced?
484
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:04.679
What partnerships and alliances can be helpful
in helping me move this forward? So
485
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:09.159
those kind of you know, strategic
questions that will help you think and refine
486
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.960
your implementation I think is going to
be important. And then as another example
487
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.320
would be intellectual legacy for example,
so we can think about what is my
488
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:22.360
intellectual strength? You know, how
can I leverage the strength to make an
489
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:28.159
impact? What training, development and
resources do I further need to get this
490
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.480
done right? You know, who
should I partner with? You know,
491
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:34.840
who should I talk to? Who
should I ask as you mentioned earlier,
492
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.199
and of course what should I really
focus on to make the biggest, deepest,
493
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:43.360
the most impactful, uh, you
know, way forward? So those
494
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.880
are some things to kind of think
about with regard to legacy planning excellent.
495
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:53.079
And I also appreciate Mark that you
what by asking those questions already out of
496
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.039
the gate, what you're doing for
people who are reading your book or listening
497
00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.039
to us today is taking them outside
of whatever they know today and stepping into
498
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.119
another remot possibility. And that's of
course where so much, so much mystery
499
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.719
and magic happens. And so I
really want new listeners and viewers to listen
500
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:14.599
to those questions because they're very powerful
to help you step out of whatever limitations
501
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:20.239
or restrictions that you think you have
today. Really important. Okay, so
502
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:22.440
you know that I can't not have
you on my radio show and talk about
503
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.639
legacy without asking you what yours is? What are you crafting for yourself?
504
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.280
You knew that you were not going
to be able to escape without asking getting
505
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:35.239
asked that question? Right, I
found that was coming. Yeah, it's
506
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:38.320
coming. It's inevitable. So what
do you, doctor Munus, What kind
507
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:42.800
of legacy are you about to leave? Oh? Well, all right,
508
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:49.360
I think it's actually some thought too
at the conclusion of the book, You
509
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:54.639
know, Alice, I think I'm
leaving behind an intellectual legacy out of the
510
00:36:54.679 --> 00:37:00.719
different types that I mentioned as I've
been an educator for almost years now,
511
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:06.000
and uh, and I'm hoping that, you know, the lessons I taught
512
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:09.960
in the classroom, uh, the
skill sets I've taught to students will be
513
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:14.599
remembered and we will be put to
good use and uh, you know,
514
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:19.760
could help them grow and maybe become
better persons down the road, uh and
515
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:22.719
successful people down the road. And
I'm hoping that as an author, the
516
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:30.519
books that I've written can help you
people again be educated and to live better
517
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:37.079
lives as well. Uh. And
you know, and hopefully, uh,
518
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:42.400
these efforts you know, in teaching
and writing would be in my own small
519
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:45.360
way, my legacy as well.
So and this book, out of all
520
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:51.119
the books that I've written, uh, this has been my personal favorite.
521
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:55.360
You know, many of the books
that I wrote are really written from the
522
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.239
brain rather than anything else. This
book, I felt, I just let
523
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.639
it flow. There was no very
little. There's some research, but not
524
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:07.519
as much as the others. So
this was written from the heart and what
525
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:12.440
I really felt like a message I
wanted to convey, you know, to
526
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:19.599
my readers and hopefully in some way
change their lives and help encourage them to
527
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:25.760
make an impact on the lives of
others too. That's delicious and right up
528
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:29.199
my alley of course. As you
know. So I want to present something
529
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:32.000
for our listeners and what you just
did there at DOCUMENTOS that's really really important.
530
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:35.840
I didn't ask the question, not
right, why is this important?
531
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.159
But you answered it. And what
I would have to clean underneath that is
532
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:44.719
that you have a there's some values
that are present there for you. So
533
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:51.039
I would say that you value learning, growing, intellectual endeavor, contribution.
534
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:54.840
Is any of that right? Oh? Absolutely, yes, okay, okay.
535
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:58.239
So this is why this is important
for us to talk about, especially
536
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.400
from the vanished point of as I
said before, about that there's actually meaning
537
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.719
to be registered in the pursuit of
giving and leaving this legacy. So for
538
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:09.400
you listeners and viewersho've not heard me
say this before, I'm going to share
539
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:14.159
with you because we've got some time
to do this. There are from a
540
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:16.880
logo therapeutic vantage point, there's three
sources of meaning that we have available to
541
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:21.159
us all the time as human beings. And by the way, according to
542
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.840
logo therapy and I would agree with
this, our number one pursuit in life
543
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.679
is meaning. That's what we're all
out to get and be into experience is
544
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.119
meaning. So these three sources of
meaning, and doctor Munos, you just
545
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:36.360
spoke to them, although maybe not
intentionally, but I can use your story
546
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:38.920
now as a way to teach is
that the first source of meaning that we
547
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:44.599
have access to is creative, our
creative values, our creative contributions, and
548
00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:47.000
that's what we give of ourselves to
the world. But the reason that becomes
549
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:52.960
meaningful is because we value that which
we contribute. So if I contribute,
550
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:57.880
for example, I could contribute it
pretty fantastically typewritten manuscript written by someone else
551
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:01.079
that would not be meaningful to me
because I didn't create it from myself.
552
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.599
I did it. I have a
talent that I used to be able to
553
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.679
bring somebody else's work to the world
that wouldn't be valuable or meaningful for me.
554
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:12.440
So the first one that creative.
Then I translate that to passion.
555
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:15.519
So what I hear in your work, doctor Munhoz, is you are passionate
556
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:22.519
about creating this legacy that allows you
to express your own intellectual abilities and your
557
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:27.920
capacity to learn and grow in such
a way that it, secondarily to the
558
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.440
next source, inspires others. Okay, so then Our second source of meaning
559
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:37.079
is those experiences and encounters that are
meaningful, that again that align with our
560
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:42.280
value system, that reaised for us
as meaningful. And so this experience alone,
561
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:46.039
for me is an inspiration because you've
given something to me, doctor Muneis.
562
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:50.280
By reading your book and by sharing
with my listeners, you gave me
563
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.159
an experience that's meaningful to me.
And so what I would say is that
564
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:58.639
you, being an author and a
speaker and what you're doing across the world
565
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:02.239
with your consulting is a way for
you to inspire others to come along with
566
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:07.119
you, to create their legacy and
to live it. So that's the experiential
567
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:13.320
inspirational vein. And then the last
source of meaning is attitudinal and that's the
568
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:17.480
stance that we as individuals take against
anything that confronts us in life. And
569
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:22.559
we always have the freedom and the
responsibility to choose that attitude. And that's
570
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.159
of course the mindset piece. So
I hear you. You said the beginning
571
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.400
of the show that you had spent
several years in industry in the last twenty
572
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:35.199
years now in academia, and so
you're you've chosen this path to make the
573
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:38.039
difference. Through this path, that
is an attitudal choice. So, now
574
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:43.719
that I've said those three sources of
meaning, I've just been curious how that
575
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:45.880
lended for you. What did you
get from your own experience in this legacy
576
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:54.079
that you're out to create. Well, one is that the insight I gathered
577
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:59.880
alicis I'm glad I took this path. Yeah, I feel happy, and
578
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.760
uh, you know if I did
not. You know, I do multiple
579
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:07.920
things that I do business, I
write, and and and I teach,
580
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:13.519
and so there are different pathways by
which I try to make an impact in
581
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:17.480
others lives, and and all of
them make me happy. And I could
582
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:22.920
I couldn't uh uh do you know
just ignore one? You know, there
583
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:27.840
it has to somewhat come together.
All these three are happening simultaneously, and
584
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:32.760
they all bring me some level of
joy. And I think the convergence of
585
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:38.519
these three allow me to kind of, you know, make a unique contribution,
586
00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:43.559
perhaps because there are things that I
could say in the classroom that were
587
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:46.159
you know, developed from my business
experiences. And there are things in my
588
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:50.440
in my business that I could take
from what I've learned in the classroom,
589
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:53.639
and they're you know, obviously in
my books, there are experiences from both
590
00:42:53.679 --> 00:43:00.159
areas that I could bring together.
So although it wasn't intention, I just
591
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:06.000
followed my interest and what I was, you know, I felt passionate about
592
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:10.440
and then and then use them in
some way to help others. I think
593
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:15.320
that's kind of where it all is, and hopefully that's the way I will
594
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:20.239
be remembered as well. M So
a last week on the radio, so
595
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:23.039
we talked with Brandon Peel, who
is a purpose guide and he also does
596
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:28.159
this really amazing thing where which he
and I are aligning on, where he
597
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.840
talks about, you know, the
the awareness of the cosmos and that there
598
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:36.679
is this interactivity between all beings and
the cosmos, which I completely align on
599
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:38.679
and part of my next book will
address that as well. And so what
600
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:42.280
I when you talk about what you
just said there, docum window, is
601
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.960
what I hear at work is what
I would call the divining rod at work
602
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:49.400
right, which I you know,
it worked in my life too, where
603
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.840
I just followed. When we when
we're really clear about who we are,
604
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.239
and we're obedient to that which is
arising within us, that which is called
605
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.119
and whispering in our ears saying hey, do this, this is important to
606
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.199
you. It's when we ignore that
when I is when I think we get
607
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:07.800
ourselves into trouble and we lose the
anchor to fulfillment and purpose and meaning.
608
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:13.320
So what I hear you say is
that you were you were just obedient to
609
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:17.559
that internal source, whatever that is
for you. Alice, you are spot
610
00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:22.519
on, and it's it's just mind
bobbling. You really got it. I
611
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:27.800
mean, it's that that's really the
truth. It seems like I'm just obeying
612
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:31.559
orders. I'm just following what I'm
supposed to do. In fact, Alice,
613
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.639
you know this book, uh,
you know, creating a personal and
614
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:40.360
business legacy. There were three instances
where this book may not have happened.
615
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:46.159
You know, there were and all
of these instances just melted. You know,
616
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:50.239
there were the roadblocks, and then
it just melted away. You know,
617
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:52.920
a roadblock, it just melted.
It's just you know, and then
618
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.679
a publisher just supported it. I
wasn't so short it was gonna be books.
619
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.320
Some said it was too short,
some said, you know it was
620
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:05.119
uh it was not right there there, Alley, because it wasn't exactly business.
621
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.159
It was a little bit different from
from my typical publishers. But then
622
00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:12.559
I found the right publishers. You
know what, when we're thinking about developing
623
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:16.199
employees and and looking at their you
know, career development, this is a
624
00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:20.719
perfect book. So you know,
uh, it just it just so upened
625
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:24.079
and and it just made me understand
at that point in time that this book
626
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:29.239
was meant to be. And it's
uh, you know, it's hopefully you
627
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:31.119
know, you know what what I
when I write books, Alice, it's
628
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:34.920
a lot of work, as you
know. Uh, but at the end
629
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:38.760
of the day, my my thinking
is if my book just impacts one life,
630
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:44.440
just one, I'd be very very
happy and I feel very very fulfilled,
631
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:47.760
you know. And but as you
said, I'm just obeying orders.
632
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.000
Yeah, and so two things.
That's so beautiful what you just presenced.
633
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.239
And I want you to listen,
listeners and viewers that you noticed what happened
634
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:59.440
when you share that, how you
could just see him his whole soul was
635
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:01.440
coming through what he was saying.
That's what that's just it's so beautiful to
636
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:06.559
witness when when you're working from passion
and purpose, that's what it looks like,
637
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:07.880
that's what it feels like, and
it's there's so much we can do
638
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:13.400
from that. And so that whole
notion of just being pure and true to
639
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.880
what it is trying to come through
you. To give that to the world,
640
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:21.039
that's the gift. And so I
just want to say thank you for
641
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.639
honoring that doctumu, and thank you
are we are the beneficiaries of that.
642
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:28.840
Because you followed through and you listen
to that, and you were obedient,
643
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.840
and you did the hard work and
persevered and implemented and followed it through.
644
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.519
We now are the beneficiaries of that. So thank you for following your heart
645
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:42.519
and your spirit and your soul and
your purpose. Thank you for you're added
646
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:47.000
insights, Alison, bringing clarity to
some of these You know, at times,
647
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:51.079
you know, I'm not so sure
and how it happened or why it
648
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:55.159
happened. But I think your insights
today just kind of enlightened me quite a
649
00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:59.480
bit and said, you know,
maybe I love to be reading your book
650
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:05.440
too. I think there's just so
much synergy between what we're doing. Yeah,
651
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.119
I do too. And again,
you know, we were paying attention,
652
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:13.039
we thought we were obedient to this
internal debinding around and here we are
653
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:15.800
together and we created something that didn't
exist before. And I'm grateful that you
654
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:20.159
got some new insights. I love
doing that with people. It is part
655
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:24.800
of my gift and I appreciate that
you took it and the contributed contributive spirit
656
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.079
in which I intended it. So
thank you for that. And here we
657
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:30.480
are already at the end of the
show. I don't know how fast.
658
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:35.199
It just always evaporates, especially when
we're having fun. So you know,
659
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.199
doctor Munoz, that this show is
listened to by people across the globe,
660
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:42.960
and we're all in it really to
try to help create environments where people can
661
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.599
experience that meeting in their lives and
their work, and where inspirational leaders make
662
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:51.320
a difference to people and we help
raise the bar business. Having said that,
663
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.079
what do we leave our listeners with
today, Well, Alice, I
664
00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:58.400
think you know, whatever a role
is in society. Wherever in the world
665
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:01.800
we are, we all have talents, we have interests, we have resources
666
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:07.679
that would enable us to make an
important and lasting impact on society. We
667
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:12.280
can do this in a personal level
or even in a corporate level. We
668
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:15.480
are all in a position to make
a difference. And at times, you
669
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:19.320
know, there are people who watch
things happen and there are people who make
670
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:23.119
things happen. So I would encourage
everybody to make an effort to make things
671
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:29.840
happen, to pursue their legacy dreams
and make it a reality. And I
672
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:34.480
would like to, you know,
to encourage everyone to do it as soon
673
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:39.960
as possible, as early as possible. And I'm fairly sure that if you
674
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:45.199
do that, then you would find
a new sense of happiness and a renewed
675
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.280
sense of fulfillment. Thank you,
Alice. Oh my gosh, what a
676
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:52.000
delicious way to finish the show.
