Ryan concurs, noting that discipline often paves the path to business success more effectively than innate talent.The conversation shifts to the dynamics of marriage. Erwin emphasizes that marriage is a partnership and that power struggles often arise from the man's need to elevate the relationship's standards.Ryan seeks guidance on being a good leader as his business expands, with Erwin emphasizing the significance of humility, gratitude, and kindness, which set the tone for an organization. He distinguishes between kindness and softness, underlining the importance of maintaining high standards while providing necessary guidance.Energy management emerges as another valuable topic, with Erwin recommending an understanding of one's energy flow—physical, mental, social, and emotional—and deploying it strategically as needed.Erwin and Ryan explore the distinction between competing against others and competing against oneself, with Erwin striving to be the best version of himself, seeking uniqueness, memorability, and value addition.Throughout Erwin's life, a recurring theme has been embracing life-changing opportunities through the power of saying "yes," even in the face of fear.For more insights and information about Erwin McManus, his conference, and books, visit erwinmcmanus.com.
