Derek wanted to start the podcast to prove that we have a misconception about what it means to be powerful in a marriage, relationship, job, business, or as a parent. Everywhere, people are talking about improving their lives or growing their business.

• Everyone on the planet wants to feel better.
• Right now is the best time to be alive.
• There's a misconception about sales that if you can speak quickly, you'll be good at sales. 
• Derek introduces another example about parents who achieve power from yelling. 
• The lie that people tell themselves is that if you're not overbearing, you must be a pushover. 
• The mission of the podcast
• There's power in listening, relationships, and allowing people to love you.
• Be respected, don't be feared.
• Your "action" step
• On the flip side of that, are you too humble?
• Be critical of yourself, and find the balance between listening and asserting yourself. 

"The one thing everyone in this world has in common, whether you're in the middle of nowhere with no access to anything, or if you're living in a high-rise in downtown Manhattan, everybody wants to feel better. No matter how good you currently feel, you want to feel better."
