EPISODE RECAP
“What you give says more to me about who you are, than anything else."
The ingredients to building a legacy and being a champion at life according to Chris Canty.
GIVING BACK. You can’t really be great until you help somebody else. And that means helping someone without expecting them to do anything in return.
WORK ETHIC. Working hard when given the opportunity to do something great. Otherwise someone else will come along and take that opportunity from you.
SELF DISCIPLINE. Make sure that you do the things you want to do, but understand that you have to be a master of yourself before you can grow. Sometimes that means you have to make sacrifices.
