@eastonuniversity: WHO IS MATT EASTON? WHERE DID MATT EASTON COME FROM? HERE'S A STORY I'VE NEVER FORGOTTEN. I grew up in Colorado. My mom made approximately $4,000 A YEAR. I couldn't read properly. I couldn't spell. And I thought I was stupid. THEN ONE AFTERNOON... I was playing in the mud with a little green Matchbox Porsche. AND THE REAL PORSCHE DROVE PAST ME. I chased it. Waited outside a house for almost two hours. And finally met the owner. He was a salesman. He worked for TEXAS INSTRUMENTS. And he was selling computers. But here's what changed my life. HE TOLD ME HE WASN'T JUST SELLING A COMPUTER. HE WAS HELPING SOMEBODY WHO HAD PARKINSON'S DISEASE. He was helping an attorney find a way to manage his work despite the challenges created by his medication schedule. Then he told me something I'll never forget. "WE'RE CHANGING HIS LIFE TODAY." I WAS JUST A KID. BUT SOMETHING CLICKED. SALES COULD BE ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE. Then I told him I wasn't smart. That I couldn't read. That I couldn't spell. And he told me to STOP talking about myself that way. He opened the front of his Porsche. AND GAVE ME A SPEAK & SPELL. Then he gave me batteries. And another Speak & Spell for my brother. THAT STRANGER CHANGED MY LIFE. I began looking at the world differently. Instead of asking why everything was so difficult, I started asking: "WHAT PROBLEMS ARE PEOPLE HAVING, AND HOW CAN I HELP?" That philosophy eventually influenced the professional sales coaching I teach today through EASTON UNIVERSITY. I recently shared this story with Rachel Uchitel on her MISS UNDERSTOOD podcast. And I genuinely hope you'll watch our conversation.
