00:00:00.000 I have this philosophy of being the lighthouse, not the tugboat.

00:00:02.220 Ah, talk about that.

00:00:03.500 What does that mean?

00:00:04.320 The lighthouse is this philosophy that most people are tugboats.

00:00:07.960 They see somebody in their life doing something wrong and they run out and they tell them.

00:00:11.100 The challenge with that is it takes a lot of effort and energy.

00:00:13.300 If I'm a tugboat and I got to go out into the harbor and I got to bump into ships to

00:00:16.560 try to get them aligned and in the right path, it's just a lot of effort.

00:00:19.540 If you think of the lighthouse, the lighthouse stands there, shines its light on the corner

00:00:23.780 and provides guidance for all these ships.

00:00:25.880 and it doesn't take any more effort for the lighthouse to shine its light to help one ship

00:00:30.220 or a thousand ships. So every time I catch myself wanting to call them out, I go back to social

00:00:35.580 media. I go back to giving to the people that want to hear it.
