Molly, succeeding at almost any stage in your career, I think,

requires building authentic relationships.

Can you give people advice, and

what is your advice on how you build authentic relationships with people?

>> Well one, I think it's one of the most important things we can do in our lives,

personally and professionally.

I think when we approach things with authenticity, and

I think that word gets used a lot, I would also substitute the word sincerity,

I think it's a really powerful word too.

But I think it's about doing things whether they benefit you or

not to support the relationship, and I think that it bubbles up into

our behavior, and I think it's being about consistent.

I think it's about asking great questions, being curious, because when we're

curious about other people, we can identify gaps in their lives, or

opportunities to serve them, opportunities to support them.

And the more that we know about those gaps, and

the more that we know what's important to them, the more that we

can potentially add value through our behaviors, and in turn connect.

There was a ball player that I recruited once, and just a wonderful guy,

big league baseball player, fantastic athlete.

In fact, he was recruited and signed with the Cowboys, turned that down, and

signed with the Atlanta Braves as a baseball player.

But he was super passionate about football, and

he loved it although he hadn't pursued it in his career as a professional athlete.

But what happened was a couple of years after,

they retired his football jersey in his high school, and

football was important to him and he was a guy that we worked with.

And I found out about that through just a very casual conversation, and he was

flying up to go to this jersey retirement, and I flew up there and was there for it.

And it meant a lot to him, because it wasn't about anything that made us any

money, it wasn't even really about the sport that he currently played, but

it sent him a message that we were sincere, and that I was sincere,

that I was authentic and that I really cared.

I think that that behavior sent a message, so I'm a big fan of recognizing

that sincerity, that authenticity is certainly driven from our hearts but

it's brought to life through our behavior.

>> I like your point about asking people great sincere questions, and

of course listening to their response.

One of my mentors asked me the question one time that made me really think.

He says, Dan, at the end of your career, what do you want to be famous for?

Like when people talk about you, what do you want them to say, Dan is famous for

this, I thought that was a great question.

>> That's awesome.

>> What do you want to be famous for?

I know you're already famous in many ways,

seeing as they've described you as a female Jerry McGuire, but

at the stage in your career when you do retire, what do you want to be famous for?

>> Well, being famous or not famous doesn't really matter to me.

What matters to me in my personal mission statement in life is to lead,

inspire and connect with creative courage and optimism.

So that's what I want on my tombstone is that she led people, she inspired people,

she connected with people with creativity, with courage and with optimism.

And so that's what I want to be known for, and

that's what I wake up every day to try to do.

>> Great.
