In this short lunch conversation with my friend Darryl Rentz from DSK. We talk about the balance between good and evil. Can good come from horrific evil? Or, if the Trust Tour is super successful could evil be the end result? Does nature require a balance between the two? What do you think?
On my way back to the St Pete airport, my taxi driver shared with me some interesting perspectives on how he thinks about our country. As we approached the terminal I asked him if I could share a summary his thinking with you. He agreed, and here is Jim sharing taxi cab trust.
The other day, a friend and I got talking about what turned out to be an infraction of trust, one that would hurt him financially to fix. After talking it through, we realized we had to share this story with you because it happens to all of us all the time. Minor infractions, if let go, can turn into complete system failures. This why we have to work on fixing the cracks all the time. Here’s a three-minute audio on doing the right thing.
This is an update from Texas Peanut Producers Board representative Shelly Nutt. I interviewed her last year after salmonella-contaminated peanut butter sickened and killed several people. The cause turned out to be poor conditions at the Peanut Corporation of America plant in Georgia. Shelly told us how the act of one man’s organization devastated an entire industry. This is a great example of why we have to get everyone working in the trust model. Like it or not, we are “interdependent” and the acts of one have an impact on all of us. The good news for Shelly and the Texas peanut farmers, is the industry has seen a turn around. Here is Shelly… (I love her passion for the peanut farmer)

As Larry and I got more comfortable with each other the conversation became even more frank and interesting. I was particularly intrigued with his story about wanting his mom to be proud of him and what he wants kids to learn from his experience.

Guess who has been hanging out with Larry Holmes?
You might be wondering why I am talking to the Heavyweight Champion of The World about trust? Isn’t a boxer by nature about annihilation? My thinking is that anybody who’s achieved the success that Larry has, had to trust something, or at the very least they had to trust themselves. You don’t get to be the best in the world by hiding under the blankets. I must say, I had a great time interviewing Larry. I like him, I respect his family values, I enjoy his frankness. I am pretty confident that he did not hold back on me. From the minute I walked into his office he told me what he thought. The world could use a whole lot more that. I hope you enjoy my interview with fighter, businessman, family man and even funny man, Larry Holmes.
This is my favorite quote from the interview, Larry’s Truth…
“I don’t box because I want someone to punch me in my face…. I box because they are going to give me a check.”
Makes sense to me!
