These savings can be redirected to further enhance the program's quality and scope. 📸: Heart & Hustle Productions #LinkedInFinance #LinkedInSports #Wealth

Secrets to Success Introduction 1st Post of 18 IDH-3930, Fall 2024, FGCU Good intentions and idyllic wishes do not elevate the trajectory of people’s lives! You have one life to live—and are incredibly lucky to reside in the land of freedom and opportunity. How will you use these gifts? How can they help you attain health, prosperity, happiness, and a full life? How will you ensure freedom and opportunity are available to future generations? In 1978, at age 19, I participated in an economic development field study in Latin America, and a year later, in a similar program in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Experiencing varying qualities of life at an early age ignited a fire within me to identify the most advantageous cultures and practices. I studied economic development at Purdue, public policy at Cornell, and business at Harvard. I read over 2,000 books about history, religion, science, culture, government, economics, and leadership, and spent time in all 50 states, over 50 countries, and over 200 major cities. For over four decades I sifted through hundreds of perspectives and practices, weighing their effects on the individual, larger group, and environment in the short term and generationally, as I raised my family, operated several businesses, and led numerous nonprofit organizations. After our youngest child graduated from college, I began assembling a coherent, synergistic mix of advantageous perspectives and practices from the hundreds that exist. The Secrets to Success books and courses are the culmination of this effort. Most people know our genes, parents, and choices affect our life, but few recognize that our culture, a type of human software and reservoir of intergenerational practices, affects it. People only flourish as a collection of perspectives and practices—like the perspectives of causality, competition, meritocracy, comparative advantage, and fitness, and the practices of honesty, scholarship, work, free enterprise, and the rule of law—are prevalent in a population. A particularly potent collection of American practices enabled our ancestors, communities, and country to flourish like none other through the 1960s. Then our success went to our heads, we took for granted what worked, and gradually started to exchange Elevating Practices for losing ones. #FGCUhonors #FGCUEntrepreneurs #FGCUClassof2028 #FGCUClassof2027 #FGCUClassof2026 #FGCUClassof2025

Afterschool programs do more than just keep kids safe and engaged—they’re also a crucial investment in our economy! ✅ 81% of working parents say that afterschool programs help them keep their jobs, supporting both family stability and workforce productivity. ✅ Every $1 invested in afterschool programs saves at least $3 by reducing crime, improving academic performance, and building a stronger workforce. ✅ Without these programs, businesses lose up to $300 billion annually due to parents’ concerns about their children’s safety after school.

🌐 Post 6 - Discovering Impact Series: The Brotherhood of YDFs As I wrap up my Discovering Impact Series, it's only fitting to dedicate this final post to the incredible young men I had the honor of calling my colleagues and, more importantly, my brothers. 🤝💼 This journey at the Ministry of Planning, Development & Special Initiatives wouldn't have been the same without the other Young Development Fellows. They were instrumental in my integration and adjustment to a new, dynamic environment. Each one played a pivotal role, not just in my professional growth, but in creating a sense of belonging. 🌟 Our collective strength lay in our unity and mutual respect, forming a network so reliable that our chiefs and members often counted on us to expedite work, cutting through the red tape with efficiency and trust. 🚀 Not everyone could make it into this picture—some have moved to new cities or even countries, chasing the opportunities they so richly deserve. Yet, the brotherhood we've built is unbreakable, transcending distance and time. Our gatherings, whether planned or spontaneous, are always fun, enlightening, and filled with respect and mutual understanding. 🌍 Finding such a bond is rare in life and even rarer in professional settings. While I wish I could thank each one individually for their impact on my growth, know that my gratitude knows no bounds. To all my YDF brothers, thank you for making this experience unforgettable. 🙏 #YoungDevelopmentFellow #DiscoveringImpact #Brotherhood #ProfessionalGrowth
