In this very special episode I got to speak with and interview the Lewis Brothers! The Lewis Brothers run a company called Tridium Corp. In their company Don and Rick (Lewis) Tag team the business by being perfect complementary partners to each other. Though they have differences of opinion and of venture, they always find a common ground to come together and overcome any challenge. After being in business for 15 years I had to ask them about their story and see if they would be willing to share from the middle.
As I was speaking with them I began to realize something about their story. Something they conquered, where many don't ever even recognize. Roles. They have mastered their roles in their company, in their partnership with each other and their partnership with themselves. This is so important to notice because it allows you to become the absolute best version of yourself, without ever needing to question who you are supposed to be. You may deviate outside your role, however if you know where you belong you will always gravitate back.
Inside of roles you might have to ask yourself hard questions. Am I a leader or a follower? Do I have executive choice? Where do my best skills lie? What is my mission as an individual? All of these questions point you to a specific role. However roles are one of the best things to identify because no individual has a singular role. You may be a parent and a teacher. A leader and a volunteer. Or one of my favorites, a mentor and a mentee.
If you don't know your role however, how can you expect to perform? Say you stand on the stage of life, you just got queued to get on stage. You stand ready to head out into the wide eyes of the public. Then suddenly it hits you, "I know one line of each character in this play..." "WHO AM I PLAYING?!" You begin to spiral into a state of stress and disillusionment, you step onto the stage sweating and confused. Everyone in the crowd is just as confused and begins to wonder, "What is happening?"
Now what would happen if you knew exactly who you were playing? You leap onto the stage with confidence and vigor! You crush every line and the crowd stands to applaud as you take a bow. You feel proud of yourself. Proud of your accomplishment and you can't wait for the next time that curtain opens.
This is what it means to understand yourself. What it means to find your pocket and play your role perfectly. We all have a place in this world and while we are casting for our role we may feel confused on what we will play best. However the world has a way of fitting you into exactly where you need to be. Believe in yourself and your ability and I have no doubt that you shall become the lead role of your own Shakespeare play. Until then I can not wait to watch your story, from the middle.
