We are back with season 2!!! In this short but sweet first episode of a new season, I reflect on the realization I had this summer on how the I'm Factor concept is all about IMPACT- the impact we have on ourselves and others. I dive deep into how powerful we are and how powerful our I'm Factors are in making a positive difference for us personally and within our society. 

Key Points/Takeaways:

• We are all way more powerful than we think
• We sometimes loose sight of our impact in the hustle and bustle of life
• We all have choices and our choices determine our impact 
• The I'm Factor concept is really all about how you can positively impact yourself in your day to day life and in the bigger picture 
• By helping yourself, you help others
• The I’m Factor is supposed to help you rise above negative impact
• Let's be cautious of our role and impact in our society
