Chris Gardner is such an inspiration, and I got so many nuggets of wisdom from this video. "How did I get here? I drove here." (Take responsibility for where you are in life.) "Gardiner, based on persistence alone, we're going to give you a shot." (Persistence conquers all.) "Baby steps count." "Start from where you are." Thanks, Evan.

[@EvanCarmichael]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Alexis. :) Glad to know you are inspired and you learned from the video. Much love. #BelieveNation #BTA324 Shine

This was an amazing video, I am in awe of all the points that were presented, however the one really made me get emotional was the moment when he talked about Nelson Mandela, and when Mandela said: "Welcome Home", because it made me think as leaders/entrepreneurs, how can we help someone grow and truly say to them "Welcome Home". Thank you Evan and to your team!
