"Facebook simply started as a means to make communication
between students easier, they didn't think, "How do we
become a billion dollar company?" Everything started out with
a purpose, and then they monetized. ”

"When I put my head the pillow at night, I think: "What great
things did I do for people today?" Not from a place of ego,
but because it just feels so darn good as you go to sleep to
think about the lives you've touched that day."

8. "I'm not a fan of the word "authentic", because I think
that trying to be authentic can be inauthentic. The two
keywords I live by are: be real and be vulnerable."

Is my message landing?
Am I being real and vulnerable while conveying that message?
Am I prepared to rewind if I have to, to make sure that people in
the audience are really getting it?

When giving a talk the key things for me are:

10. -COLIN SPRAKE
"If you want to be real, be real to yourself first. If you're not
real to yourself or vulnerable with yourself, how can you be
real and vulnerable on stage?"

"Speakers create this urgency, and 50% of the audiences run to the
back of the room to make a purchase. But afterwards, half the people
drop out of the programs, because they just got caught up with the
urgency and crazy excitement. I don't want that, I want people to
make the right decision when they become part of a program."

"The morning of the presentation, I do a visualization. I lie
in bed, I visualize myself on stage, I feel in my heart that
I am there to serve."

"At the event, I will set intentions with our team. With
volunteers or our team from the office that are with me,
we'll stand in a circle and we'll set intentions for the
students in the audience that day. "

"5-minutes prior to going on stage I am very calm and quiet. I
do not want talk to anyone. Then I go up on stage, and I am
super calm, I get the audience engaged and I start to serve."

"For me, vulnerability is getting up on stage and
letting people know that you've messed up as
you've grown."

you have messed up, you do have challenges, you are
just as human as they are, and that you have
experienced some life growing stuff."

"If you go in with the intention of serving, being vulnerable,
being real with all your stories, about what's happening in your
life and in your business and what's happened before, your
health, fitness, whatever— people will gravitate towards you."
