I hesitated to post anything. I wasn’t sure what to say... how do you honor someone who inspired millions and taught with such fearless, unfiltered truth? Steve was one of the most real, bold, and beautiful humans I’ve ever had the chance to learn from. A brilliant business mind who challenged you to live fully, think differently, and never compromise who you are. He passed with his family by his side. His son Henry shared a beautiful message that said Steve lived life the right way, squeezing every drop out of it. That hit me hard. Because it’s exactly what he taught us all to do. It feels surreal. Just last September, he spoke to our Inner Circle and did an Ask Me Anything session. His presence was unforgettable. Many of our favorites. If you want to get a glimpse of Steve in his element, here’s an old interview we did together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlE4xViMpBI&t=4s Rest easy, Steve. You left a legacy that’s impossible to ignore. Your ripples will continue to change the world more and more each day.

Always enjoy these events, it is so good to get to know people on a deeper level.

Reminder! Tomorrow is our monthly Networking ONLY event — and it just might be the best virtual event you attend all month. Join us at 5 PM Eastern for one hour of real connection, fun icebreakers, and conversations with growth-minded professionals. Come to give, meet new people, and leave with momentum.
