166: Giving Back And Paying It Forward With Quinton Jacobs

On today’s episode, I’m chatting with Quinton Jacobs. My first run-in with Quinton was when he gave me a gift card in Lululemon, which demonstrates his pay-it-forward attitude. Quinton is a Lululemon ambassador and fuel technician who is very involved in the community and just an all-around incredible human being! He is also the father of three children and always strives to see the positive in any situation that comes his way - he truly lives to serve others and make an impact in their lives. He is a special human and I know today’s episode will give you all the feels as it did for me - have a listen!On this episode we dive into: Serving your children in a way that allows them to appreciate what they have, but also changing the narrative of their future, from that of your past. Choose “your core people” wisely and then support the heck out of them them - and also, let them support you. What encouraged Quinton to want to help others and be highly involved in the community.How to look at the positives in any situation to help benefit your future.Making an impact on people’s lives without sharing it or knowing it.How to find balance when you feel like you’re ready to take on more.Overcoming hard times in your life with a new perspective. The take-home: It feels good to give back. Quinton believes strongly in having a pay-it-forward mindset. During these difficult times especially, as people navigate through the heaviness of a new way of living, he believes that if you can just make one person smile - it’s the gift that keeps on giving. He strongly believes in leaving people better than you found them because you just never know what they are going through. It can be difficult to get involved right now due to the current social distancing rules, but you can still find ways to make huge impacts on people’s lives even if it may seem small. “Don’t let this pandemic hold you back from what you’re passionate about,” he shares. “We need to appreciate everyone navigating through these times in their own headspace. Be concrete with your why. If your ideas are grounded in purpose, then it’s meant to happen.”Get in touch with with Quinton: Business Instagram: @quinton_jacobs
