Gratitude
What it is telling youYou already have more than you are looking at. Say so, out loud, to the people responsible.
How He Sees It.
Gratitude runs through almost every episode Eric recorded, usually aimed at the listener. It also shaped what he made: in April 2019 he started a series of Instagram posts telling friends, in public, what he admired about them.
The deepest version came from a friend in 2015. Eric asked how he could ever thank him, and the answer was to pass on what he had learned. Eric credits that sentence with the podcast, the articles, and the tutoring.
