Glad we reconnected today. As we discussed, I create daily gratitude posts. Today I hadn't made it yet, I was struggling with what to be grateful for. This is what my gratitude post will be on....Humility.

My TEDX talk was more than a labor of love it was with the inspiration and support of loved ones.. Having mom in the front row you can see it in my eyes along with my words how important she is in my life. This was a true family endeavor and grateful appreciation to my niece, Meira Kaufman (Now Meira Rodbell :)) who has enumerable talents and is an amazing human being who worked tireless on my PowerPoint presentation.. And a special thank you to my niece Danielle Kaufman who's artistic creativity put the polish on what I now welcome all of you enjoy. Please comment so I can learn from everyone.

7:37 . A humble leader will always listen, and that provides the right atmosphere for problem solving. Leadership without humility is based on a faulty foundation and is bound to fail.

Marv, I appreciate your presence time and energy. I have watched this video at least 10 times and it deepens my understanding of 1 core value I found value in and it is WHO YOU ARE and not what you do! It is the core essential to build a successful personal brand! Thank you for sharing ! Thank you!

Very empowering and humbling at the same time. The story about your mum got me thinking about my own folks and how much I owe them. Watched this with my coffee this morning and it triggered a very productive but also strangely relaxed day!

Well said Marvin Epstein, humility is the hardest trait to acquire and so easy to loose. Most misunderstand what humility is and how to obtain and retain it, And the irony of it is, it is the most powerful trait and possessing it opens you to acquire all the other desirable traits.

Marvin, you nailed this talk! Thank you for not only allowing yourself to get vulnerable with the world...but for also sharing some true and valuable words of wisdom! Humility is so rare these days...such a deep and powerful form to relate and connect with one another. Extremely proud of you! Looking forward to seeing more of you in person and on KZfaq! P.s. I guess I will share my own late bloomer humility and admit that I just popped my very FIRST and only "KZfaq comment" virginity to your video! 😅🤓😜👏🏼

Hello, Marvin. This is Alex from last night. Great talk; a lot resonated with me, and it is reassurance to all that everything takes care of itself if you are a good Human Being. I listened carefully , watched through twice and took some notes on the second go round. I’ll also add, something I have written on my wall is ‘WHSH’ Whole Hearted Solid Honest - Words that explain me, and I guess principles to fall back on creatively. I’d be grateful to learn anything you’d be willing to teach me.

Hello Alex. Thank you for your interest and follow-up after our meeting. The first step is always to take one and congrats you are in the minority which is why the universe has so many opportunities for us all to benefit. You have a great approach to a journey toward growth and success. You have my contact information so please DM me directly and we will continue this connection.

This was very inspirational, engaging, relatable, eye opening and thought provoking. I'm a constantly a learner, listener to all things and angles. Humility is something that I understand but never connected the dots in who i am and what I do and why I do it. Great job and kudos to your presentation and delivery

Marvin, what an amazing talk highlighting the power of humility, how leading with it is about the effect we have on others, and creating a long lasting positive reputation by being authentic and praising others through genuinely bringing out their best qualities. The childhood story with you and your mother was so heart touching. Thank you for bestowing some beautiful wisdom!

Great theme... Baha'u'llah of the Baha'i Faith says that the soil (i.e. humus) should never be exalted above man and say to man that even though it has "...a wealth that supplieth the needs of all creation - behold the measure of my humility, witness with what absolute submissiveness I allow myself to be trodden beneath the feet of men.."

100% agree on the value of humility in leaders. But I wouldn’t characterize Mark Zuckerberg as humble. In fact, I’d characterize him as just the opposite based on what we know about humility in the social sciences.
