One of the things you're going to have to do in your 20s and 30s is get as close to the sun as possible. The sun is that company you really want to work for, that person you admire, that room you want to be in but you think you don't belong. My son was Bozoma St. John. For

those of you who don't know Bozoma St. John, she used to be CMO of Netflix, Apple, PepsiCo, Uber. She has one of the most decorated CVs in corporate America. This woman could be herself no matter what room she walked into. So when I was 27 and Bozoma became a client of my travel company,

Sorterchali, I was in complete awe. The thing is getting close to the sun is not enough. It's about what you use the proximity for. I made sure to serve her well. I made sure to have genuine interactions with her. I made sure that every exchange we had always added value. Four years later, I have worked with Bozoma every single year for the last four years, every single year

without fail guys. In fact, I spent summers in Bosoma's house. So while everyone is learning from her on YouTube, I'm learning from her over dinner. Sorry guys. And the amount of opportunities, introductions, wisdom that have come from this relationship, I cannot put a price to it. The most important reason why you should get so close to the sun is because proximity changes lives.

Don't spend time admiring people. Figure out how you can get to them. Figure out how you can get that internship figure out how you can get that job get as close as you can to feel the heat
