1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to Math and Magic, a production I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm Bob Pittman. Welcome to Math and Magic, Stories from

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: the frontiers and marketing. There's no question the coronavirus has

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: disrupted our natural way of life. This weekend, as high

5
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: school and college graduates around the country missed their traditional

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: end of view celebrations, we at I Heart wanted to

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: do something to mark the occasion. So we gathered some friends,

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: important leaders, creators, athletes and thinkers, and we asked them

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: to give a personalized graduation address. Then we took those

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: speeches and put them out as a podcast called Commencement,

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: and we broadcast the speeches on the radio as well.

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: It was a small gesture, but it felt good as

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: a company to unite behind it. Hearing from people like

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: Abby Wambach, David Chang, Bill Gates, Mary J. Blige, Eli Manning,

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: and Katie Corey Well, it was inspiring. The words are

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: meaningful not just to graduates, but to anyone taking on

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: the world. So for today's episode, I thought I'd pick

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: up you inspiring lessons I heard in Commencement life lessons

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: that can be applied to marketing and business. Starting with

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: some advice from X Alphabet's Moonshot Factory, and it comes

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: from the Captain and Moonshot's himself astro teller. For as

22
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: long as I can remember, I've wanted to create an

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: invention machine, not an actual physical machine, but a place

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: where groups of passionate, talented people can throw themselves, unleashed

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: and unfiltered at the problems they care about most and

26
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: emerge with radical solutions that are ten times better than

27
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: anything that's been possible before. I've always imagined such a

28
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: place at the love child of nineteen sixties NASA and

29
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I've been trying various iterations of

30
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: this since I was in my twenties, and I'm now

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: in years into building a Moonshot Factory, a place where

32
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: we bring the audacity and optimism embodied by the Space

33
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: race to inventing and launching technologies that could help solve

34
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: the world's most pressing problems, problems like food scarcity, internet connectivity,

35
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: and clean energy. Born Google X now just X, we've

36
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: created things like self driving cars, delivery drones, and verily,

37
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: the healthcare arm of Alphabet. What bothers me is that

38
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: X shouldn't be the only moonshot factory. We need more,

39
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: many more, not just big formal moonshot factories. We need

40
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: millions more people waking up every day, more creative, more brave,

41
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: more urgent to find ten x solutions to the world's

42
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: biggest problems. I know there's lots of intelligence, desire, and

43
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: resources being invested. All no one gets up Monday morning

44
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: saying this week, I'm going to make incremental progress. And

45
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: yet that is almost exclusively what happens, and it doesn't

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: need to be that way. We are all superheroes. The

47
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: ability and aspiration is there, even if it's buried deep

48
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: in some of us. What's holding us back as individuals

49
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: and organizations is the strong gravitational pull towards conventional ways

50
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: of thinking and behaving. Most of us have been conditioned

51
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: by the environment around us not to fail, not to

52
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: take risks, not to make anyone uncomfortable, especially if that

53
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: person is your boss. So most of us end up

54
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: being too cautious, too afraid to rock the status quo

55
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: or mess something up. And the irony is it works

56
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: the other way around. The most powerful and painful epiphany

57
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: of my life was to stop hiding my inner weirdo.

58
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: You don't get joy, power, money, a sense of purpose,

59
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: whatever you crave. By protecting yourself, you get those things,

60
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: and you protect yourself best by unleashing yourself. Everyone thinks

61
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: that's someone else's job to come up with the weird

62
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: new ideas and take the big risks. Big companies think

63
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: radical thinking is for startups. Startups say it's the big

64
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: guys who have all the resources. Universities do great research

65
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: but aren't set up to build real world solutions. Governments

66
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: get mired in short term problems, and there you have it.

67
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: Suddenly it's no one's job, even when it should be

68
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: everyone's job to help solve the problems of our time.

69
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: I'm forty nine. I've had to create a special brand

70
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: for myself. Is a useful crazy person because I'm supposed

71
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: to know better, and so I need air cover for

72
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: saying things that aren't normal. Your ideas are unfettered, your

73
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: perspectives are fresh, and you're being young. Gives you air

74
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: cover for throwing out crazy ideas, So go for it.

75
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Let them rip. You have another big advantage. You don't

76
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: already know the answers, and unlike the experts, you know

77
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you don't know the answers. There are still lots of

78
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: jobs in which experience saves a ton of time and hassle.

79
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: But when the answers to current problems are far over

80
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: the horizon and all the rules have suddenly changed, like

81
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: we've just seen, the experts belief they know the solution

82
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: and just have to implement it is why they will fail. Experimenting, iterating,

83
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: and learning is the only way forward, and doing that

84
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: is a lot easier. With your advantage, you can admit

85
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: ahead of time you don't have the solution upfront. For

86
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: extremely complex problems like the world is facing today, there

87
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: are no answers. There is no playbook. I love that

88
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: Astro says about embracing your inner weirdo. Its advice. We've

89
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: heard on this program a lot, whether it was Shaggy

90
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: talking about tackling music in a new way, for Scott

91
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: Haggadorn talking about new ways and looking at data, or

92
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: even David Solomon, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, talking about

93
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: embracing his hobby as a DJ and his free time.

94
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of David, in his commencement speech, he shared a

95
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: lesson about time a commodity you can't make more of

96
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Here's how he learned to make the most of it.

97
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: I've worked on Wall Street for over three decades, and

98
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: our work involves, at times an array of valuable commodities

99
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: stock spots, gold, silver, oil, you name it. But even

100
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: a banker will tell you the most precious commodity of

101
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: all it's time. No matter how smart creative you may be,

102
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: you cannot create more time, and once you've spent did,

103
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: there's no way to get it back. One of the

104
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,559
Speaker 1: great lessons my father taught me was the value of time,

105
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: and more important, how to be a good steward of

106
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: this finite commodity. I was a teenager frustrated that I

107
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: couldn't fit into my schedule everything that I needed and

108
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: wanted to get done academic, sports, friends, the rest of

109
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: high school life. So my father had me go through

110
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: an exercise I'll never forget. With a simple printed calendar,

111
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: he had me rite in each day's box what I

112
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: needed to get done, including eating and sleeping, and how

113
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: long I thought I needed to do it. I protested,

114
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: of course, but when I was done, I realized that

115
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: I still hadn't filled my day. There was more time

116
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: if I spent it wisely. Gradually I learned to be

117
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: very intentional with my time, how I spent it what

118
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't willing to give up. I budgeted my time

119
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: a lot tighter, and in the process discovered more of it,

120
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: more time to get things done, to explore new of things,

121
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: to do what really mattered to me. To this day,

122
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: I make sure that, even with the jam pack schedule

123
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: of a CEO, I make time outside my day to

124
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: day to be with people from different industries and with

125
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: different backgrounds. Time spent fostering relationships with diverse people who

126
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: enrich my thinking and challenge my assumptions makes life a

127
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: whole lot more interesting. It also makes me a better

128
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: person and in turn a better CEO. I hope you'll

129
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: be a good steward of the gift of time invested

130
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: wisely in yourself and others with people who think differently

131
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: than you do, people you love, people who love you,

132
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: some who challenge you, and more than a few who

133
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: believe in you. As we looked on social media for

134
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: themes to cover, confidence is one thing that always comes up.

135
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: How do you build it for yourself, but also how

136
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: do you infuse it in your team's culture? Abbywa has

137
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: some thoughts on that. As two time Olympic gold medalist

138
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: and FIFA Women's World Cup champion, she describes the moment

139
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: she helps secure the World Cup championship and why believing

140
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: yourself is just as important as believing in the greatness

141
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: of your team. I see my teammates running towards me

142
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: from every direction on the field and from the bench.

143
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: They're screaming and laughing and hugging, high fiving, chest bumping,

144
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: and as they rushed towards me, each of their amazed

145
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: faces asking did we just do this? Did we just

146
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: save our World Cup life in the last second? What

147
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: the hell just happened? What happened is that we believed.

148
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: What happened is that we never stopped believing. There's a chance.

149
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,119
Speaker 1: That the national team's loyal fan club, the American Outlaws,

150
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: cheer from the stands. It has become the lifeblood pumping

151
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: through our national team's veins. It goes like this, I

152
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: I believe. I believe that we I believe that we

153
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: will win. I believe that we will win. I believe

154
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: that we will win. Graduates, as you step out into

155
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: an uncertain world, I want to tell you why this

156
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: chance should become the lifeblood pumping through your veins too.

157
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: I I believe you must believe in the eye, You

158
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: must believe in yourself. That World Cup play doesn't happen

159
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: if each player doesn't step up and claim her specific

160
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: power and skill to deliver the impossible. Christie Krieger, Carly Pino.

161
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: Each had to believe she was good enough and ready

162
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: to execute her part within the broader play. None of

163
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: those women could alone control the ultimate outcome of the game,

164
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: but each was hell bent on controlling what she could control,

165
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: her part, her moment, her belief. Collective success is determined

166
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: by individual accountability. The greatest teams are made up of

167
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: individual players who each relentlessly believe in their own. Greatness

168
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: graduates in this moment. As you step out into the world,

169
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: you don't know what fields you'll be on, how high

170
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: the stakes maybe, but you can know this for sure,

171
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: there's a part out there that only you can play.

172
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: When the ball comes to you, and it will, you

173
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: will have to decide that you're good enough. No one

174
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: else can decide that for you. Be bold, be audacious,

175
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: believe in yourself, especially when no one else does, and

176
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: when the ball does come to you, when it's your

177
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: turn to make a difference, show up like our collective

178
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: future depends on you, because it does. I I believe.

179
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: I believe that we you must believe in the wei.

180
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of teams, chef David Chang has been a star

181
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: in the restaurant scene for a while now. He cut

182
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: his teeth with a legendary Momofuku, and he's now an

183
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: author and TV personality as well. But in his speech

184
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: to young graduates, he made it clear that one of

185
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: the biggest lessons he learned along the way is it

186
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: isn't always about you. Here's how he learned to take

187
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: the focus of himself and think about his team's happiness.

188
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: Because I'm a chef. Now, you might think that things

189
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: clicked when I wound up in cooking school at twenty two,

190
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: but that would be incorrect. I did have a good

191
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: feeling about cooking, but I was so mediocre. In fact,

192
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: I was just bad that one of my classmates actually

193
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: quit the program because of my lack of talent. I'm

194
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: not kidding. They told her that I was going to

195
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: be a partner for one semester and that she couldn't switch,

196
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: so she decided to drop out. Then be my partner.

197
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: I stayed at cooking school mostly because I had exhausted

198
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: all other options. It's crazy to think, but by my

199
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: mid twenties I had worked so many jobs and tried

200
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: so many things. I'd seen a good chunk of the

201
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: world too, Yet I was convinced that it was all

202
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: a waste. I looked at my friends that could not

203
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: believe how far ahead of me they were. Maybe some

204
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: of you know that feeling, and if you don't, I'll

205
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: tell you the same thing. Life begins right about where

206
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: you are right now. Conventional wisdom says that college is

207
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: the time's experiment, but now is when you can truly

208
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: accumulate data to your advantage. This is the moment in

209
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: your lives to be selfish, so use it and be

210
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: smart about it. Welcome all the heartache, disorientation. Enjoy that

211
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: you can, most of all, lean into situations that might

212
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: lead to mistakes. You have to taste failure so much

213
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: and so early, so you know how to deal with

214
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: it later on when the stakes are higher. On some days,

215
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: it may feel like it's just too damn hard, like

216
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: it's not worth climbing back up that mountain again. But

217
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: you have to keep going. It's as simple as this.

218
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Honor your time here. But just as I urged you

219
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: to look inward to find yourself, your voice, and your purpose,

220
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: I want to tell you that conviction can also be dangerous,

221
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: or at least it was for me. Five or so

222
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: years into Momofuku, the company had gone from being an

223
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: army of one into employing over one people. Now we

224
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: have several hundred, and they were all unhappy. The problem

225
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: was me. I was miserable to work for in my

226
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: fanatical quest, I was blind to those around me and

227
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: their needs. In my little world, all that matter what

228
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: was good for me. This somehow had an immediately affected

229
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: the quality of our work. But that luck didn't last forever.

230
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Not only did our magic spark dim. I was more

231
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: alone than when I graduated college. So I want to

232
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: leave you with the greatest piece of knowledge I've gained

233
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: so far, an idea we should all remind ourselves in

234
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: times like these. It's not about you. You're going to

235
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,119
Speaker 1: be happiest, in my opinion, when you try to be selfless.

236
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: I love how David evolved to think about his employees,

237
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: but his theme of perseverance and grit struck a chord

238
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: with me too, and it's a theme I heard in

239
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: Chris Broussard's speech as well. We'll hear more from him,

240
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: Tim Cook, and more after this break. Welcome back to

241
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: Math and Magic, where we're highlighting some of the best

242
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: and most inspiring speeches from this week's commencement podcast. Chris

243
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: Broussard is a successful sports broadcaster on Fox Sports One

244
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: and Fox Sports Radio, but that wasn't always the case.

245
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: He advanced his career through sheer, determination, grit, and long hours.

246
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: He attributes his success to never having a sense of

247
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: entitled one, even if that map taking unpaid jobs. Take

248
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: a listen, do not have a sense of entitlement. This

249
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: business doesn't owe you anything. I don't care what school

250
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: you went to. I don't care what your grade point

251
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: average was. I don't care how highly you think of yourself.

252
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't owe you anything. Your mentality has got to

253
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: be that I got to earn every single promotion or

254
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: advancement that I get. I'll share with you when I

255
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: first started doing national television. Now, I've been in the

256
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: New York Ares right for the New York Times and

257
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: done some local TV, but ESPN was starting a new

258
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: television show called Cold Pizza. Now it's called First Take, uh.

259
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: And the show was at seven am Eastern time, and

260
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: they were asking local writers in the New York area

261
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: to come into their studio early in the morning to

262
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: do hits for the show. They weren't paying a thing,

263
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: and they weren't putting you in a hotel overnight, so

264
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: they would pick you up early in the morning and

265
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: then you would do your do the show. I even

266
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 1: went so far as to when I was on the

267
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: West Coast covering Kobe Bryant and the Santa against the

268
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals two thousand four,

269
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: that I would be on Cold Pizza at four am

270
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: Pacific time. So I'm getting up at two thirty in

271
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: the morning to go do this show for free, no money.

272
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: And I had other writers in the New York area say,

273
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're doing that. How desperate are you

274
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: to be on television. They're not paying you anything and

275
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: you're going on at four am. I had guys say,

276
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: I told him, you better get me a hotel room,

277
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: or I'm not doing your show. You better pay me

278
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: some money, or I'm not doing it. Well, now I

279
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: do national television and radio for a career, and some

280
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: of these guys aren't as far as they like to

281
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: be in their careers. I didn't have a sense of entitlement.

282
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: I figured this could help advance my career. I can

283
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: do it, I will do it. And now I get

284
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: paid great amounts of money to do television and radio,

285
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: whereas then I wasn't getting anything. Don't think that you're

286
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: entitled to a darn thing in this business, or in

287
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: any business for that matter, whatever field of endeavor you

288
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: choose to go into. Chris, like so many of our

289
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: other commencement speakers, acknowledge the importance of putting in the work.

290
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: But there's another factor the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook,

291
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: wanted us to consider. As he's been reading about Lincoln,

292
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: He's been thinking about how important it is to race

293
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: into uncertainty. Here he is talking about the courage you'll

294
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: need in this time and the success that can result

295
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: from it. Not being able to leave the house leads

296
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: you the lot of odd gaps of time to fill.

297
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: I've been trying to use them to read, and I

298
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: keep coming back to Abraham Lincoln. I'd recommend it to

299
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: anyone who wants to put these times into perspective, you'll

300
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: be shocked at how clever and funny and alive is

301
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: thinking still is how this reserved and humble man managed

302
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: in noisy times to call others to hope. It's also

303
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: hard to imagine someone more defined by their circumstances. Lincoln

304
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: found his country on fire and chose to run into

305
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: the flames, and he gave everything he had to bring

306
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: his people, chaotic and squabbling, fundamentally flawed yet fundamentally good,

307
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: along with him. The dogmas of the quiet past are

308
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: inadequate to the stormy present, he said. The occasion is

309
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion.

310
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: As our case is new, so we must think a

311
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: new and act a new We must disenthrall ourselves, and

312
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: then we shall save our country. Graduates, your case is

313
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: new for you. The old dogmas had never been an option.

314
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: You don't have the luxury of being enthralled. You enter

315
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: a world of difficulty with open eyes, tasks with writing

316
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: a story that is not necessarily of your choosing, but

317
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: is still entirely yours. You weren't promised this day. Many

318
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: of you had to fight hard to earn it. Now

319
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: it's yours. Think a new act, a new build, a

320
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: better future than the one you thought was certain, and

321
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: in a fearful time, call us once again to hope.

322
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: Courage is also something I heard in Sienna Miller's speech

323
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: to Sienna never went to college, but that didn't stop

324
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: her from becoming a successful actor, designer, and producer. And

325
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: her speech, she talks about the importance of pushing away

326
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: feelings of inferiority. She also talks about standing up for

327
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: what you believe in and creating a culture that advances

328
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: your standards, not the world, and her case that men

329
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: having the conviction to walk away from a role she

330
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: was passionate about. My industry is an inspiring one, but

331
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: it has not always been a place where women are

332
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: respected equity with their male counterparts. This is a global issue.

333
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: We still live in a rampantly patriarchal society. It is

334
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: essential that as women, we cultivate the sense of worth

335
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: that we deserve to feel. I know it's hard, and

336
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: although the world is beginning to shift, there are deep

337
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: rioted prejudices that exists around gender. Women represent over half

338
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: the population. It is essential that the places you work

339
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: in resemble that statistic. Be great leaders, Be the generation

340
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: to really fight for equality. If you feel superior, get

341
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: yourself in check. Respect the differences between men and women,

342
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: people of color, the LGBTQ community, and value the contribution

343
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: of everyone to a workspace. If you start a company,

344
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: let that company reflect the world as it is. We

345
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: need leaders, especially in this moment, who do not marginalize,

346
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: who listen, who care. Be those leaders. A while ago,

347
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: I turned down a project that I was passionate about

348
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: when I learned that my male co star was going

349
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 1: to be paid more than double the salary I had

350
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: been offered. I was forced to make a concession between

351
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: my dignity and self worth and a role I loved.

352
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: I was being pressured to accept a value of myself

353
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: which I knew was wrong, and, albeit with real difficulty,

354
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: self judgment and even shame, I walked away from that part,

355
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: and that changed something in me. It turned out to

356
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: be a pivotal moment in my life, not because I

357
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: took the part, but because I didn't, And at that moment,

358
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: my worth was exactly the value I placed in myself.

359
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm saying is stand up for yourself,

360
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: Stand up for others. Stand up for what you know

361
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: deep down is fair. So much success comes down to

362
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: a sense of self worth. Cultivate that strength as best

363
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: you can. Don't value yourself based upon the responses you

364
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: get from other people or some imagined perception of who

365
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: you might be. And don't give yourself away to others.

366
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: Hold on tight. This is your life and your experience.

367
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: You might know Guy Rosa's voice from How I Built

368
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: This or the Ted Radio Hour. I like the speech

369
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: wasn't about blind optimism, but rather it was about looking

370
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: for opportunities in this time. As difficult as things are

371
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: right now, the world is full of opportunities, things just

372
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: waiting to be changed. And after hearing a speech, I

373
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: think you might agree. Now I'm gonna tell you something

374
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: that may sound counterintuitive. Smile, open your eyes, look out,

375
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: and understand this. You are leaping into what might be

376
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: the greatest moment of possibility in modern human history. Now,

377
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: before I get too deep into this, I want to

378
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: explain what I mean by possibility. Possibility isn't wild eyed

379
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: optimism or a belief that history is an inevitable march

380
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: towards progress. That's rubbish. Possibility allows for a whole range

381
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: of outcomes massive failure, regression, loss, But possibility also allows

382
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: for growth and resilience and recovery, and most importantly, the

383
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: possibility to dream and then to realize a better way.

384
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Possibility in may is an opportunity to reimagine and then

385
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: to remake the world. And to do this, you're going

386
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: to have to take big swings, swings for the fences.

387
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: Wings that will occasionally be home runs, but most of

388
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: the time will be strikeouts. But if you take those

389
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: swings right now, not in five years or ten years,

390
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: but right now, you will start to remake our very,

391
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: very challenging world. As some of you may know, I've

392
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: interviewed thousands of some of the most inspiring people on

393
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: the planet, and some of them are swinging for the fences,

394
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: but they need you to join them. Pat Brown he

395
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: was a biochemistry professor Stanford. He understood that livestock production

396
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: accounts for a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions, so

397
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: he started Impossible Foods with the goal of figuring out

398
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: how to make meat, real meat that bleeds and sizzles

399
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: from plant proteins. He's already succeeding, and if he finishes

400
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: the job, it could cut carbon and methane emissions by

401
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: twenty to pat Brown didn't wait for others to make

402
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: a change. He did. Jimmy Wales wanted everyone on Earth

403
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: to have the same access to knowledge that he did,

404
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: so he created Wikipedia as an open source online encyclopedia

405
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: that functions as a nonprofit, available to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

406
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: He never really made any money off Wikipedia, even though

407
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: it's one of the most visited websites on the planet.

408
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy Wales didn't wait for others to make a change.

409
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: He did. Alice Waters started a farm to table restaurant

410
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: called Chaponnese in the early nineteen seventies in Berkeley, but

411
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: she soon started to see how industrial farming and agriculture

412
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: were polluting rivers and damaging the environment. So Alice started

413
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: a movement called the Edible Schoolyard, and today thousands of

414
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: schools across America are growing their vegetables in harmony with nature. Now,

415
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: it's not going to change the entire world today, but

416
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: it's a start. Alice Waters didn't wait for others to

417
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: make a change, She did it herself. Alicia Garza opal Tometti,

418
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: Patrice Colors. They lived and breathe injustice. They didn't wait

419
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: for permission. They inspired Black Lives Matter Toronto. Burke knew

420
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: intimately about the silence of sexual assault victims. She didn't

421
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: wait for permission. She wrote two words that changed the world.

422
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: Me too. Greta Tunberg and Vanessa NaKaT Still Kids ignited

423
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: a movement of thousands of young people demanding climate justice.

424
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: They didn't wait, They didn't ask for permission. Now, if

425
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: you walk around San Francisco today, you'll see ads for

426
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: startups that will deliver cannabis to your home through a

427
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: sophisticated app. You'll see ads for better work productivity software.

428
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: One startup even raised almost four hundred million dollars to

429
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: build robots to make pizzas. We now have another new

430
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: media company, this one that raised more than a billion dollars,

431
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: all with the goal of creating ten minute video clips

432
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: to keep you glued to your I phone while you

433
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: wait in line at the grocery store. And look, people

434
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: will make money off of these ideas, and that's fine.

435
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: But if you really want to take advantage of this

436
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: incredible moment in history, no this you can make it

437
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: happen by deciding to be more like Pat Brown or

438
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: Alice Waters or Toronto Burke or Greta Tunberg. Don't wait.

439
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: Everything and anything is possible coming out of this crisis.

440
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: Can you use your energy, your youth, your boldness to

441
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: take a big swing for the fences to answer these questions?

442
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: I think you know the answer. So we need you

443
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: to spend this summer building a plan. You are the

444
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: Jedies we have been waiting for. We need you to

445
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: take this mission on. There may never be an opportunity

446
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: like this one again in your lifetime. And it's okay

447
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: to feel scared. This is a hard time, but I

448
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: promise you have been given a gift now, right now,

449
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: it's your time to run the world. Here the keys

450
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: and don't look back. And one more thing, May the

451
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: Force be with you. That's it for this week's Math

452
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: and Magic. The speeches I drew from barely skimmed the service.

453
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: From General Stanley but Crystal to Katie Coury, Ryan Seacrest

454
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: to Hillary Clinton, Halsey to Bill and Melinda Gates. We've

455
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: got fifty plus inspiring commencement speeches waiting for you on

456
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app or wherever you get your podcast.

457
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: Go check them out. That's commencement speeches for the class

458
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 1: of Until next time, I'm Bob Pittman and thanks for listening.

459
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: That's it for today's episode. Thanks so much for listening

460
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: to Math and Magic, a production of I Heart Radio.

461
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: The show is hosted by Bob Pittman. Special thanks to
