If you’re looking for a way to frame your celebration of those you love, this is for you. Maybe you can’t rain down a ticker tape parade on the accomplishments of others, but what can you do to support those you love? Marcus explores the notion of balconies and basements and how we can ensure we’re the one celebrating others.
Key topics:
[1:12] “Balcony people” lift others up and encourage those around them
[1:35] “Basement people” drag others down to their level
[2:48] Real life example for Marcus of how we fill both roles at different times in our lives
[4:40] Ask yourself the question, “Who do I want to be? Do I want to be a balcony person or a basement person?”
[5:17] When we are basement people from time to time, remember that we’re only human
[5:27] The more time we spend on balconies, the more time we have to celebrate others and ourselves
