In this episode, I’m joined by Dwight Heck. Dwight and I met a few months ago at the MENtorship Monday events. He always stood out to me as someone that speaks his unfiltered truth. We spoke about how the education system in North America is broken, specifically in it’s lack of focus on emotional intelligence, financial literacy and relationship building. We also spoke about how it’s easy for some people to look at someone else that is “successful” and say “man, you are lucky”. He shared a story about a speaker that shifted his belief about what it means to intentionally create your own future, no matter what your current circumstances might be.

We want an environment where our kids are learning about emotional intelligence and going surfing in board shorts for physical activity” – Trevor Turnbull “I want our kids to learn about personal development, I want them to learn about how to communicate with people, I want them to learn about how to internalize the strife in their brain that’s causing them so much grief” – Dwight Heck “There is no magic formula for success when it comes to starting your own business and becoming financially free. It’s a bunch of small decisions that get made over time” – Trevor Turnbull Episode Resources [VIDEO] Call To Courage (Brene Brown)[BOOK] Daring Greatly (Brene Brown)Dexter Yager (Amway Leader)Tony Whatley (365 Driven)The MENtorship World Guest Contact Info Dwight’s Website (Give A Heck)Connect with Dwight on LinkedIn Connect with Dwight on Facebook
