What's working on purpose anyway? Each

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

conversation is about. And on that
note, let's grab our first break.

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
