60. Jerry Won - Authentic Storytelling
“To tell people, ‘Hey, I think your story matters. And I want to use my platform, which is a privilege that I have to be able to share your story with other people.’ There's no better than that. I think is the most humbling thing that anybody can hear. For somebody to say, I think your story matters because for so long we all deal with imposter syndrome and self-doubt, and that's regardless of what you look like.”

R.O.G. Takeaway Tips:
What are elements of our identity? Here are twelve to consider for yourself:
Family and relationships
Talents and abilities
Race, ethnicity, cultural heritage
Defining moments and experiences
Gender orientation
Beliefs and values
Physical appearance and characteristics
Education
Occupation
Age
Roles
Jerry recommends we greet each person with curiosity as opposed to judgment. How could we not? Be curious about yourself. Be curious about others. It’s amazing how remarkably similar we all are, yet none of us are the same. Know your worth + value others.
Join us next week for Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo. She’s a medical professional who experienced her limits. Since then she has dedicated her work to medicine, self-love and empowering others to build businesses and make a difference.
Until next week, stay generous everyone.
