Sam begins with his quotes of the day. He welcomes his guest, Mitchell Levy. Mitchell and Sam discuss his quotes of the day and how they align with what is going on in their lives right now.
Sam and Mitchell discuss how they met, at EBC retreat. Sam asks why Mitchell is so interested in credibility. When he was running his book publishing company, he had published over 800 books and he realized he was serving the wrong audience. In 2018 he built a writing school. He started interviewing 500 people, and when he ended the interviews he realized it wasn’t about someone telling him who he is, but the opportunity to recognize that credibility is not a word but the way you are. Credibility is how you show up. If you want a better life, you live life with ease, and to do that you live life with credibility. There is a close relationship between authenticity and credibility, you can't have one or the other. Authenticity is one of the ten components of credibility. Another component is being known. We have been taught wrong our entire lives to live in the industrial age.
Sam discusses his book. Mitchell discusses how to do a self-assessment. He says his wife keeps him in credibility nation. He has been receiving “the presents” for the last 5-15 years. When he hit interview 475, he realized the person who is going to help elevate consciousness is him. So he has a summit, which is the start of a movement. It is two days that focus on what the results of the 500 interviews were. After that there are speakers who each have 20 minutes. Whoever you are, he wants to be able to be at the stage where he tells someone he loves them. If you know someone's intent then you can say that honestly. In two days, the number is going to be as powerful as you want it to be.
Sam asks about the top misconceptions about credibility. There are three things we do that hurt our credibility: lack of clarity, lack of integrity, and poor communication.The world has a microphone and a camera now, and if you aren’t clear there is someone else around the corner with a different approach who, if they are clear, will get the message across. When you start a convo with I or We, people think you are a salesperson. They will stop listening. Poor asynchronous communication. How you communicate with who you are allows people to decide whether they want to get to know you. Integrity is important. Show up and let people know if you cannot show up.
