In this episode, Doug Smith reflects on the top 10 lessons he's learned in his 35 years of life.

Episode Summary:

  • At 35, I’m starting to see the compounding effect of handling a lot of days well in my twenties.
  • I’m observing what life will be like when I am 55, 60, and 65 and realizing that life is short and I had better make a difference!
  • I’m learning the importance and power of rest for the first time in my life.
  • I’m doubling down on the importance of family.
  • I’m moving from leadership theory to leadership practice.
  • God is giving me something to say. There are a lot of people talking that have nothing significant to say because they haven't put in the effort to develop themselves.
  • At 35, I’m recognizing that life and leadership are hard and there are times I will want to give up and stop growing, but I must continue on and endure to the end.
  • I’m more passionate about adding value to people than I’ve ever been.
  • At 35, health and fitness are still a huge priority and what I eat is more important than it’s ever been! Leaders, take care of yourselves! Workout and eat clean.
  • I’m most grateful to be living out my purpose.
