The Moments, Mistakes & Meaning Behind The MORE Effect | Day 18

Day 18 of Give the Gift of MORE is personal.In this episode, I share 18 moments that taught me more — moments of loss, resilience, rejection, generosity, love, leadership, and growth.These experiences shaped who I am and ultimately led to The MORE Effect.From being abandoned at 10, to being raised by two strong women, to early work, rejection, layoffs, fatherhood, coaching youth sports, understanding unconscious bias, women’s health, and three decades of therapy — these moments forged the framework. The MORE Effect didn’t come from theory.It came from lived experience.Giving the gift of MORE is more than giving a book — it’s giving someone the opportunity to understand themselves, reflect honestly, and become more.The 18 moments that taught me MORE:Being abandoned at 10Being raised by two womenWorking since age 11Losing my grandfatherPlaying sports (catcher)Rejection from Notre DameJewish generosityThe day I met my wifeLosing my motherBeing laid off twiceBecoming a fatherLearning human-centric leadershipCoaching youth sportsBeing told I was in the “old boys network”Thursday night Zooms during COVIDReading the Women in the Workplace reportUnderstanding menopause30 years of therapyThese moments didn’t weaken me.They shaped The MORE Effect.www.jeremyvictor.com | www.themoreeffectbook.com |Find me on Insta, LinkedIn, Facebook, X etc - simply search for Jeremy Victor
