>> POSITIVELY JAX FOSTERING THE GIFT OF APPRECIATION. ONE JACKSONVILLE NATIVE HAS A
PASSION TO HELP OTHERS TRULY
BECOME THE BEST VERSIONS OF
THEMSELVES. HE’S BEEN DOING
THAT THROUGH PUBLIC SPEAKING
AND NOW BECOMING AND AUTHOR
LENNAR CHAPMAN JUNIOR IS
JOINING US RIGHT HERE ON THE
MORNING SHOW TO TALK ABOUT HIS
SECOND BOOK. IT’S CALLED THE
ART OF APPRECIATION. HERE IT
IS. AND LET ME TELL YOU, THIS
IS VERY RELEVANT BECAUSE ONE,
THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
DON’T APPRECIATE THE LIVES
THAT THEY HAVEN’T. AND 2,
THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
COULD JUST LEARN TO APPRECIATE
THINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE. AND
I WAS ABLE TO SKIM THROUGH
THIS. I SEE THAT YOU COVER A
LOT OF THINGS.
>> IN THE YOU KNOW, GRATITUDE
IS THE GREATEST UNWRAPPED
GIFT. JUST IMAGINE IF WE GAVE
GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION TO,
YOU KNOW, I EMPLOYERS AT
FAMILY MEMBERS, THE HOMELESS
MAN, A WOMAN TO SIT ON THE
STREET. THAT IS THE KEY TO ANY
MEASURE OF SUCCESS. BUT MORE
IMPORTANT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL
VALUED. AND THAT’S THE ESSENCE
OF THE ART OF APPRECIATION.
YEAH. HEY, I’M THANKFUL FOR
YOU. HEY, I APPRECIATE GUYS
ARE HARD WORK, RIGHT? IS THAT
WHAT THE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT?
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN,
ULTIMATELY GRATITUDE TO MAKING
EMPLOYERS OR EMPLOYEES FEEL
APPRECIATED IN VALUE IS GOING
TO REDO SHORE OVERALL
ATTRITION, GO MAKE PEOPLE WANT
TO STAY THERE.
>> AND IT GIVES PEOPLE A SENSE
I CAN ACTUALLY DO THIS. THEY
YEAH, RIGHT? YEAH. IT’S ALL
ABOUT THAT EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE, WE FOCUSED
GROWING UP ON THAT. I Q AND
BEING BOOKS, MARTIN AND TAKING
THESE TESTS. BUT NOW I THINK A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING BACK
WHEN IT COMES TO ARE JUST
LIVING LIFE AND SAYING, HEY,
LET’S LET’S LOOK AT THE
EMOTIONAL SIDE OF THINGS HERE.
YEAH, I THINK THE BIGGEST
THING IS YOU JUST HIT IT SPOT
ON WHEN OTHERS ARE. I’M NOT
FEELING APPRECIATED IN VALUE.
THEY BECOME DEJECTED. THEY
BECOME DESPONDENT AT IT RIGHT.
AND EVERYONE HAS VALUE. THEY
NO MATTER IF IT’S A LITTLE
SMALL, BIG ORANGE I NORM AS
RIGHT OR SIZE MAKE AND
EVERYBODY HAS VALUE. LEN, HOW
DID YOU GET TO WHERE YOU ARE
TODAY AS A PUBLIC SPEAKER, AS
AN AUTHOR AS A MENTOR TO SO
MANY.
>> YOU KNOW, THAT’S THAT’S A
REALLY ROUGH YOU YOU KNOW, IF
WE WERE SITTING AT THE DINNER
TABLE, I’LL CALL YOU TELL US
THE SCHOOL ARE NOT RIGHT. YOU
I FOUND EARLY ON WHAT MY
PURPOSE WAS RIGHT. AND THAT
PURPOSE IS TO SPEAK ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, HELPING PEOPLE TO,
LIKE YOU SAID, BECOME THE BEST
VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES YOU
KNOW, PUBLIC SPEAKING AT A
FAVOR BODY, BECAUSE YOU AS A
SPEAKER, YOU MAKE YOURSELF
VULNERABLE, YOUR OPEN BOOK.
BUT FOR I JUST KNEW THAT THIS
WAS MY PURPOSE ALL ALONG AND I
AM IN A RELENTLESS PURSUIT TO
TOUCH PEOPLE’S LIVES TOUCHED
THE HEARTS THAT ESTA MINDS.
