The conversation with Kevin Thompson is about the importance of playfulness and joy in life, and how it can impact relationships and success. Kevin talks about his experience as an entrepreneur and how he initially felt intimidated by others who had achieved more success than him. He eventually realized that people meet them where they show up and that their own assessment of themselves is important. He also mentions his experience curating intimate virtual roundtables for entrepreneurs and how people tend to want more of that experience once they've tried it. The conversation touches on the importance of being open and approachable to everyone, regardless of their status. You'll also hear about the importance of having fun and experiencing joy in all aspects of life, the importance of staying in integrity and doing what one wants to do rather than what one thinks they should do. As long as one is staying true to themselves, the things they want will naturally occur. Kevin shares an example of how this has shown up in his life and business, noting that he only does things that are intentional and have value for him, and that he only invites people into his life who he values and who add value. Kevin shared a personal experience of hosting an in-person event for entrepreneurs he knew, and how it was successful because it was based on inviting people he valued and wanted to spend time with.If I’m going to do this thing, it’s on my terms 100%. - Who is the most valuable person in your life that has had a profound impact? - Motivating people in many different ways. - My business grew from $100 a month to $1 million in annual revenue. - A moment of realization that money is meaningless in how you perceive it. - What has happened since the conversation with Jesse in 2012. - If I don’t get joy and satisfaction from what I’m doing, then what’s the point? - When did you decide that fun and joy and playfulness is important? - Taking care of yourself so that you can do your job. - How does integrity show up in his current business and life? - How he got the idea for his first event. - It’s not what we do for them, it’s what we bring to them. - What’s the most valuable asset you have in your business? - Learn more about Kevin on his podcast - Million Dollar Relationships
