Moment 36 - How To Create Great Ideas: Marcia Kilgore

Uh What is it about you that made you successful? I mean, I've picked up on one which is really high standards. The other one I've picked up on I picked up on the minute you walk through the door, which is you're just a very pleasant human being. And I'm like, all of these things uh if you if they compound over like thirty years, you're gonna get to a really good place.

So someone gave it to me, actually the art teacher in my son's school. And I read it and I was like oh. You know, when you think you're special.
