Manage episode 496902923 series 3343784
What's the difference between "I'm not good at that" and "I'm not good at that yet"? In this final episode with Sheryl Tullis, host Tracy Crowley explores how one small word can fundamentally reshape our mindset and open possibilities we never imagined. Sheryl reveals her philosophy of being a "multiplier"—someone who helps others accomplish meaningful goals and rides along on their journey of growth.
The conversation takes a powerful turn as Sheryl shares her ongoing work with Combat Flip Flops founder Matt Griffin, helping Afghan allies escape Taliban persecution. After the Taliban takeover in August 2021, Sheryl joined a team working tirelessly to protect translators, teachers, university professors, and other vulnerable allies. Despite facing investigations, Western Union shutdowns, and countless obstacles, they've successfully helped dozens of families reach safety—including one family that just arrived in Canada after two years of hiding.
"For me, not doing anything just worsens the helpless feeling," Sheryl explains. "So if I can take some kind of action, no matter how small, it helps alleviate that." Her story demonstrates how individual action, no matter how small, can create ripples of hope in seemingly hopeless situations. Through her favorite quote—"When is the last time you did something for the first time?"—and her commitment to continuous learning, Sheryl embodies the transformative power of growth mindset and purposeful action.
