In this episode, Glenn reflects on a powerful moment of wisdom shared by a homeless man during an interview—words originally passed down from an AA sponsor: “You are not here to be loved, comforted and understood. You were put here to love, comfort and understand.” 

It’s a simple idea, but one that challenges the way many of us move through the world. 

In a society increasingly focused on what’s in it for me, this episode invites you to flip the script—to lead with generosity, compassion, and understanding before worrying about what you receive in return. 

Glenn explores how shifting from entitlement to contribution can transform relationships, reduce conflict, and create deeper connection—both with others and within yourself. 

The conversation dives into the power of making generous assumptions, the dangers of living in constant expectation, and why giving what you seek often leads to receiving it. 

This episode is a reminder that personal growth isn’t just about self-improvement—it’s about how we show up for the people around us. If we all lived this way, wouldn’t we all feel more loved, more comforted, and more understood?
