Midlife Fulfilled Podcast: Thriving in Life, Career, and Leadership.
Ep 169 The Pursuit of Impact and Legacy One Person at a Time
In this takeaway episode, I am inspired by my conversation with Phil Gerbyshak on episode 168 about his transition from the business world to substitute teaching.
Here are three key discussion points from our conversation that led to my takeaway:
1️⃣ Embrace New Beginnings: Phil proves that it is never too late to pursue new passions and make a positive impact.
2️⃣ The Power of Connection: Phil views every day as an opportunity to make meaningful connections, even as a substitute teacher.
3️⃣ Leave a Legacy Every Day: Phil is intentional about having an impact on his son and the kids he reaches through substitute teaching.
My main takeaway is the power of having a conscious mindset of the effort to make an impact every single day.
I shared an experience where I was leading a group of 12 year-old boys in a Bible study. At the time, it felt like I was herding cats. A few years later I learned that I had a positive impact on at least one of the boys.
My challenge to you is to be intentional about having an impact. Don't give up. Even if you only impact one person, it's worth it.
