9: Breaking Into Tech

  • Be proactive & take ownership of your career: There often is no blueprint to follow and it can take a while to get into a career you love, but leverage your strengths and passions and you’ll find your way. You can listen to Ryan Roslansky’s The Path to see how careers really are a winding road.

10: Be a Good Person

  • Intentionality matters in your relationships: Relationships can be hard, but run towards the hard things. There is a pervasive lack of endurance in relationships and building community. But by being intentional and showing up different from the standard, you can help others feel deeply cared for and build a place to belong that lasts and rewards you for a lifetime.

11: Embracing Life’s Possibilities

  • Don’t let ‘impossible’ stop you: Whatever you think you cannot do, you cannot fix, you cannot save, try anyways. Billy shows us how the odds are oftentimes incorrect. Want what you want bad enough to stick around and keep trying. You’ll look back and see that it was worth it in the end.

12: Finding Your Authentic Self

  • Pain is painful: It is necessary to talk about your emotions, develop self-awareness, and seek healthier environments for our growth and the flourishing of the next generations of our families. Do the work even though it painful because the freedom that comes after is worth it.

13: Finding Zen Through Adversity

  • You are the CEO of your life: We all face trouble, but you have been gifted a unique set of experiences to get you through it. No one can take away your authority as the ownership of your life. Will you take on that accountability?

14: Growing Through Trauma

  • Listen to life: Your challenges are there to teach you. Listen to what they are saying. Life is pulling you in a certain direction, it’s time to let go of control and let life take over. Surrender is key.
