Greatness Grows: Lessons from The Godfather, Meet the Robinsons, and Michael Phelps
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s Daily Morningcast, we spotlight a powerful quote from one of my all-time favorite movies, The Godfather: “Great men are not born great, they grow great.” We explore what that means through the lens of Don Corleone’s wisdom, the perseverance of Olympic legend Michael Phelps, and a callback to a fan-favorite quote from Meet the Robinsons: “Keep moving forward.” This is your reminder that greatness isn’t inherited — it’s built.
