so a general told me this
I think what he was trying to get at was
everything that makes a great leader is
accessible it’s not a secret it’s just
hard and it’s hard in the way that you
have to apply it you got to do it every
day and you have to do it consistently
and that’s hard to do when life is
difficult and this is us is on and you
want to binge watch these things and so
for me and that’s all this is gonna be
it’s gonna be a perspective it’s not
going to be this person the perspective
this is the hidden in plain sight secret
that I always know I sometimes
acknowledge and sadly most oftenly I
willfully ignore so what do I want to do
today is I I don’t want to focus
necessarily on breakthroughs because as
James clear says everybody knows is
different than everybody does I think if
you you chase breakthroughs it’s a
little foolish even if it’s well-meaning
because that’s not where real progress
lies instead I want to focus on
understanding our understanding don’t
worry I’m not going to get all meta and
philosophical what I’m trying to get at
is there is our mindset and how we get
in our own way there are more productive
mindsets that can lessen our drag the
possibilities that these can create and
then what really matters is what we do
with all this stuff because the use of
use doesn’t matter if we don’t do
something with it and so when I heard
breakthrough what that implies to me is
how we see the world and then how we
wrestle with what we make of that and so
this is how I see the world there’s
three things that I think there’s what
we know we know there’s what we know we
don’t know and there’s what we don’t
know we don’t know and I realize that
sounds like a bad Donald Rumsfeld press
conference so I’ll flush this out a
little bit when I was studying in
England I didn’t know this there is a
there’s not a universal Day for Mother’s
Day so I came back and I surprised my
mom yes I’m a great son also she’s a
super hard worker so she was actually
working two jobs and she was like hey
you can go with your friends it just
happened that it lined up with our
Spring Break and she was like cuz I
won’t really see you while we’re here
anyways I was like well that’s awesome
so I hopped in a car I went to Panama
City Beach and as you guys know Panama
City Beach very upstanding nice place
you just go golf and you hang out sadly
when I was outside one day
I saw a girl get punched in the face so
I knew that I knew this got punched in
the face and that was incredibly
unfortunate and being the type of person
that I am I stick my nose in other
people’s business I knew I did not know
why so I went to try to figure out why
what I didn’t know I didn’t know at that
time is they happen to be gang
affiliated and I was intruding upon
their talk so yeah that happened I woke
up in a hospital I got pistol-whipped
it’s not as bad as it seems because as
you can tell my mother’s dental
investment did not get tarnished and I’m
fine now as you if you haven’t figured
out now I am irreverent in flippant and
I don’t want the lacks in which I convey
this misfortune to take away from the
seriousness of what I think what we
don’t know we don’t don’t know implies
because represented as a graph what we
don’t know we don’t know is the graph we
can have these realities of what we
think we know and what we believe we
don’t know they are indiscernible
against the magnitude of uncertainty in
the world and if there is such thing as
a breakthrough it swims in that and I
didn’t come up with this there are much
smarter people than me that understand
this socrates talked all about the fact
that he was smart because he didn’t know
I don’t know he got hung for it and
killed so I don’t know how that worked
out for him and John Keats is an amazing
novelist that talked about negative
capability and really that’s a fancy way
of saying hey just be alright with not
knowing that’s all you needed to say man
I didn’t read need to read 200 pages for
that what I think they’re trying to get
at is that we have to be comfortable in
our ignorance and be compelled by that
and eager to go find out more and if we
do that we’ll be humbly surprised that
there is no just one breakthrough moment
it’s a fallacy you’re going to be
chasing after smoke what I think we’re
going to find is that there’s just
learning and there’s tomorrow and
there’s tomorrow until there is no more
tomorrow so if we can do that I think
you can open yourself up to a
breakthrough moment the problem for me
was I had to get out of my own way and
so I had to let go of some assumptions
Hawthorne wrote The Scarlet Letter it’s
my favorite book about assumptions and I
didn’t have the emotional maturity when
I was a kid and I read this and I was
forced to read it I like reading now I’m
sorry all teachers here you guys
amazing to realize how applicable this
was to my life so this is my mom yes the
80s was the dark time for hair also I
was not an attentive baby as you can
tell I was not paying attention she’s a
beautiful lady and she is just as
irreverent as I am as you can see I was
not 21 in this picture so she condones
underage drinking also I’m just mean so
that’s why this picture is up I adore my
mother she raised me on her own after my
father left the picture due to a dick
what is pretty hard for this particular
crowd maybe to understand is that where
I grew up the assumptions of traditional
male-female models are both prevalent
and highly persuasive
so that pillar in my life never let me
see the effect that Scarlet Letter
assumptions placed on her had on her and
for me none of that made sense because
my superhero was far too fast for any
assumptions to catch up to her because
when you work two jobs and you’re still
the head of the PTO and you hate the PTO
because you think it’s a valley girl
construct you can’t be caught nothing
can be tarnished
sadly we’d like to think these things
are true and that’s just not the
hallmark reality the reality is that
generalities they’re efficient they’re
easy we only have so much time to invest
we only have so much energy and so what
we do is we mistake the map is the
territory and a more youthful example
for that is that they’re tender picture
is not them there’s a couple head nods
over there I understand tenders a dating
app I guess it’s not going very well for
some people and what I don’t think I’ll
ever fully understand is what my mom had
to go through and how she for other
people represented this map this idea of
a Scarlet Letter single mother when she
wasn’t she was just an example of a
resilient individual who wrote raised a
son like millions of other mothers and
fathers do in the aftermath of addiction
the unfortunate thing is in order to get
to that level of understanding
you can’t project your maps onto people
and so the individuals that did not do
this they didn’t want to take the time
to get specific and access and to invest
so instead my mom had to deal with these
things and she had to deal with these
things on her own and that’s the scary
thing about assumptions they’re
cancerous to creativity they can lull us
into believing either you are this or
you are not that they fabricate binaries
where there are none and so if we can
get out of our own way and we can be
that much more creative I think we can
prime ourselves to breakthroughs and we
can avoid the pitfalls of this thinking
in order to do that though you have to
have a particular mindset when I got to
iwu Deborah Halperin the director of the
action research center took me under her
wing and like all amazing coaches and
trainers she changed how I saw the world
how he interacted with the world and
what I asked the world needed of me she
was also incredibly humble and she
opened me up to her house and to her
family her three amazing kids and her
phenomenal husband she also has a very
well stocked kitchen and so Deb like
momma Dee was and couldn’t see problems
because not because they weren’t there
and she was oblivious to them just
because when you live those realities of
adverse circumstances you don’t have
time to see the world in terms of
deficiencies you see the world in terms
of assets and because my mom worked so
hard I have to remind myself of this and
one way that I do this this is a
painting by Saul Steinberg is I reject
the word but all I ask of you is over
the next week all you do is acknowledge
when anybody says but you just make a
note of it because what I think you’re
going to find is it’s the socially
acceptable way we have figured out to
say screw you you say yes which is an
honorable appeasement it’s like yeah I
agree with you and then everything that
follows but everything latter is no I
don’t agree with you and I was just
trying to be nice and I the reason that
I reject this yesBut paradigm is because
that’s what it does it lulls you into a
false sense of complacency and thinking
either you are this or you are not this
when that’s not a real thing
it takes me and it puts my expectations
in front of my appreciation and if I
ever want to have a breakthrough moment
I’m never going to get there doing that
and if I were to allow that to happen
and not been appreciate Ori then I would
have taken the sense of entitlement that
sadly some students can get at a place
like Illinois was
and I would have missed out on the value
that we could have done in rural Uganda
when we were doing microfinance luckily
we did not miss that value we led with
appreciation rather than expectation in
the village is the one that came up with
it and we just took all the credit
you can laugh there we actually didn’t
take all the credit we were very nice I
didn’t fight these kids either it’s when
you will lead with appreciation rather
than expectation that we’re allowed to
take their idea and their idea still
stands today so that they take they came
together as a tillage a–‘s and they
take a little bit of that capital they
raise after every fall when they sell
their crops and they pull together into
a credit cooperative and it’s with that
credit cooperative that they fund two
new ventures with in all these other
villages we if we got in our own way
would have missed this and we would have
told them rather than them telling us
and I think that’s what happens when you
prime yourself to be open and
appreciative and be more interested
rather than interesting which is hard
for a person like me with a huge ego
that wants to tell you all these facts
that I know and these quotes that I
memorize then I think you open yourself
up to possibilities to these
breakthrough moments ones like this
where a kid from a non-religious
background who associates himself as
agnostic can go with some of his best
friends who are evangelical on a mission
trip down to Kingston Jamaica and he can
meet this beautiful woman at the
Salvation Army and she had just suffered
a stroke so she had just gone blind and
the right side of her body was paralyzed
and so I sitting next to her and if I
would have been it expecting rather than
appreciative or I try to be more
interesting to her rather than
interested I would have gotten in my own
way because all she wanted to do because
how she was seeing the world now was
through everything that was otto and she
just wanted a clap she just wanted to
appreciate and so because I didn’t get
in my own way in this one instance I got
to be a part of this moment and so what
I think this this shows us is that if we
can get out of our own way and then we
can have this particular mindset then we
can get past the monotony of small
mindedness and foolish consistency and
that’s hard because there’s always going
to be a least restrictive path that has
more immediate gratification and so
that’s where choice comes in
Viktor Frankl wrote man search a meaning
and it’s what he made of his time in a
Nazi concentration camp and when I read
this again I did not have the emotional
maturity because I think I had the
traditional response I it was tragic and
I was shocked that we could do this to
other people I was amazed of the
resiliency of the human spirit and what
it could do in a particular context all
the while though I kept a comfortable
arm’s length distance because he’s
putting forth a knowable hard truth here
that we always have a choice and we
don’t want to face up to that it took my
best friend Andrew wish her to teach me
that so in the spring of my freshman
year he was the one in 250,000 of his
age group to contract colon cancer he
was always an overachiever that was that
was worth more than the laughs that it
got and so Andrew beat it into remission
it came back and he fought it again and
he said the single most badass comment
I’ve ever heard a human being say in
real life he told a hospice nurse I’m
not done fighting the fall of my senior
year he passed away and his existence
exemplifies to me that in life it’s the
competition not the score cuz death gets
us all that’s going to define the
meaning and so his brother Danny decided
hey I have a choice I’m gonna pass on
the goodwill that was afforded to Andrew
through his four year about and so this
coming April it’s gonna be the five year
anniversary of the Andrew wisher
Foundation’s founding to date it has
helped 106 families battling cancer on
the southside of Chicago and in the
South Chicagoland area it has gifted
over six hundred and ten thousand
dollars and it throws the most badass
goodwill party on the southside of
Chicago called wish fest that’s a choice
and we always have one of those so if we
can get out of our own way and we can
make that choice then something
beautiful like this can happen
the difficulty is none of this matters
if we don’t do something with it so we
have to get into action and I think this
is what most TED Talks gloss over is the
work because it just requires work as
Chuck Close says inspiration is for
amateurs the rest of
just show up and work and I think it’s
the same for breakthroughs because
following Ron Swanson’s whole ass advice
is you have to show up and work because
if you go chasing applause and acclaim
that way lies madness it’s the same if
you go chasing a breakthrough so you
have to define your commitments and you
have to make them so specific and so
clear that you make it effortless for
other people to help you and then you’ve
got to work and then you’ve got to fail
and you have to fail beautifully and
then got to redefine failure is learning
because then all you’re doing is doing
and learning and I think what you’re
going to find is the relativity of it
all sets in because there is no such
thing as a breakthrough you’re going to
reach a plateau and you’ll be like this
is it and then you’re gonna be unhappy
because it’s all relative until you can
just start appreciating because there is
no one thing as just a breakthrough the
breakthrough there’s just you this is a
terrible color choice mom I have no idea
why you decided that there’s just you
and what you’re open to I drop to none
of these children there’s just you and
what you’re open to and what you’re
willing to chase I also did not catch
these and I watched later how they fight
and I’m very happy I did not catch them
so there’s you there’s what you’re open
to what you’re willing to chase and then
how you’re willing to lead when others
need you definitely got them lost so
there’s you what you’re open to what
you’re willing to chase how you’re
willing to lead when others need you to
and then why you do it if you can’t tell
I have a predilection to lifting out
people and throwing them so when it
comes down to it that’s all there is for
me and I think there’s more worthwhile
things and unnecessary grudges in life
so I don’t want to fabricate Forks in
the road because there’s things that I
know I know there’s things that I know I
don’t know and then there’s a vastness
out there that I don’t know I don’t know
and I think that’s where if there is a
breakthrough that’s where it is
because I have my assumptions that I try
to get out of my own way with I have a
particular mindset that I’m so thankful
for these people here and in my hometown
taught me so much as well as around the
world and then we have our choice and
what we do with all that matters because
that’s all that matters is what we do
with it
and at the very least maybe it’ll avoid
you getting pistol-whipped thank you
very much
I think what he was trying to get at was
everything that makes a great leader is
accessible it’s not a secret it’s just
hard and it’s hard in the way that you
have to apply it you got to do it every
day and you have to do it consistently
and that’s hard to do when life is
difficult and this is us is on and you
want to binge watch these things and so
for me and that’s all this is gonna be
it’s gonna be a perspective it’s not
going to be this person the perspective
this is the hidden in plain sight secret
that I always know I sometimes

James clear says everybody knows is

understanding our understanding don’t

philosophical what I’m trying to get at
is there is our mindset and how we get

mindsets that can lessen our drag the

sounds like a bad Donald Rumsfeld press
conference so I’ll flush this out a
little bit when I was studying in
England I didn’t know this there is a
there’s not a universal Day for Mother’s
Day so I came back and I surprised my
mom yes I’m a great son also she’s a

their talk so yeah that happened I woke
up in a hospital I got pistol-whipped
it’s not as bad as it seems because as
you can tell my mother’s dental
investment did not get tarnished and I’m
fine now as you if you haven’t figured
out now I am irreverent in flippant and
I don’t want the lacks in which I convey
this misfortune to take away from the

didn’t come up with this there are much

that he was smart because he didn’t know
I don’t know he got hung for it and
killed so I don’t know how that worked
out for him and John Keats is an amazing
novelist that talked about negative
capability and really that’s a fancy way
of saying hey just be alright with not
knowing that’s all you needed to say man
I didn’t read need to read 200 pages for
that what I think they’re trying to get
at is that we have to be comfortable in
our ignorance and be compelled by that
and eager to go find out more and if we
do that we’ll be humbly surprised that
there is no just one breakthrough moment
it’s a fallacy you’re going to be

we did not miss that value we led with

you can laugh there we actually didn’t
take all the credit we were very nice I
didn’t fight these kids either it’s when

rather than interesting which is hard
for a person like me with a huge ego
that wants to tell you all these facts
that I know and these quotes that I
memorize then I think you open yourself
up to possibilities to these
breakthrough moments ones like this
where a kid from a non-religious
background who associates himself as
agnostic can go with some of his best
friends who are evangelical on a mission
trip down to Kingston Jamaica and he can
meet this beautiful woman at the
Salvation Army and she had just suffered
a stroke so she had just gone blind and
the right side of her body was paralyzed

just wanted a clap she just wanted to

I think this this shows us is that if we
can get out of our own way and then we

mindedness and foolish consistency and
that’s hard because there’s always going
to be a least restrictive path that has
more immediate gratification and so
that’s where choice comes in
Viktor Frankl wrote man search a meaning
and it’s what he made of his time in a

this again I did not have the emotional

the while though I kept a comfortable

best friend Andrew wish her to teach me
that so in the spring of my freshman
year he was the one in 250,000 of his
age group to contract colon cancer he
was always an overachiever that was that
was worth more than the laughs that it
got and so Andrew beat it into remission
it came back and he fought it again and
he said the single most badass comment
I’ve ever heard a human being say in
real life he told a hospice nurse I’m
not done fighting the fall of my senior
year he passed away and his existence
exemplifies to me that in life it’s the
competition not the score cuz death gets
us all that’s going to define the
meaning and so his brother Danny decided
hey I have a choice I’m gonna pass on
the goodwill that was afforded to Andrew
through his four year about and so this
coming April it’s gonna be the five year
anniversary of the Andrew wisher
Foundation’s founding to date it has
helped 106 families battling cancer on
the southside of Chicago and in the
South Chicagoland area it has gifted
over six hundred and ten thousand

following Ron Swanson’s whole ass advice
is you have to show up and work because
if you go chasing applause and acclaim
that way lies madness it’s the same if
you go chasing a breakthrough so you
have to define your commitments and you
have to make them so specific and so
clear that you make it effortless for
other people to help you and then you’ve
got to work and then you’ve got to fail
and you have to fail beautifully and
then got to redefine failure is learning
because then all you’re doing is doing
and learning and I think what you’re
going to find is the relativity of it
all sets in because there is no such
thing as a breakthrough you’re going to
reach a plateau and you’ll be like this
is it and then you’re gonna be unhappy
because it’s all relative until you can
just start appreciating because there is
no one thing as just a breakthrough the
breakthrough there’s just you this is a
terrible color choice mom I have no idea
why you decided that there’s just you
and what you’re open to I drop to none
of these children there’s just you and
what you’re open to and what you’re
willing to chase I also did not catch
these and I watched later how they fight
and I’m very happy I did not catch them
so there’s you there’s what you’re open
to what you’re willing to chase and then
how you’re willing to lead when others
need you definitely got them lost so
there’s you what you’re open to what
you’re willing to chase how you’re
willing to lead when others need you to
and then why you do it if you can’t tell
I have a predilection to lifting out
people and throwing them so when it
comes down to it that’s all there is for
me and I think there’s more worthwhile
things and unnecessary grudges in life
so I don’t want to fabricate Forks in
the road because there’s things that I
know I know there’s things that I know I
don’t know and then there’s a vastness
out there that I don’t know I don’t know
and I think that’s where if there is a
breakthrough that’s where it is
because I have my assumptions that I try
to get out of my own way with I have a
particular mindset that I’m so thankful
for these people here and in my hometown
taught me so much as well as around the
world and then we have our choice and
what we do with all that matters because
that’s all that matters is what we do
with it
and at the very least maybe it’ll avoid
you getting pistol-whipped thank you
very much
