How To Do 10 Years Of Work In 2 | Ed Mylett
"In my dad's darkest, worst moment of his life, in some coffee shop or some room somewhere, some precious soul helped my dad. That one decision they made. Do you know what qualified them to help my dad? Their messed up life. They were an alcoholic. They were a drug addict. Little did that person know, the things they were the most ashamed of, the biggest mistakes of their lives, when they were using drugs and drinking and stealing, that was qualifying them to change my dad's life."
Ed Mylett had a breakthrough realization at 3:15 AM that an unknown person in recovery helped his father get sober, which changed the trajectory of his entire family and the millions he's helped. He argues that the stranger's qualifications came precisely from their own struggles with addiction—the very things they were most ashamed of became what equipped them to save his father's life.
