  What if there was a single trait that was a virtual unlock key for an extraordinary life?

• 00:12

  It's one of the questions that I've been exploring for the better part of my life.

• 00:17

  Now.

• 00:17

  I don't know if there's a single one, but what I can tell you is over now, hundreds of conversations with extraordinary people from all over the world.

• 00:26

  There is this one thing that keeps emerging over and over and over that seems to be always present in the lives of some of the most extraordinary movers, shakers, thinkers, doers, the people who have extraordinary impact on those around them.

• 00:45

  And it first emerged, actually, in the very first conversation that we ever recorded.

• 00:52

  It was with Dan Ariely.

• 00:54

  Now, Dan is a world acclaimed behavioral economist and professor.

• 00:59

  He's a guy who's written extraordinary books about how incredibly irrational we actually are as human beings.

  But it was something that happened immediately after that conversation that triggered this noticing in me that went a little bit deeper and became a pattern that I saw consistently emerging over the last few years with more and more people that I've had the opportunity to sit down with.

  So we were filming back then.

• 01:29

  So we started out as a web series before we moved to a podcast.

• 01:32

  So we had a whole crew that would film on location in New York City, and we'd set up, and we'd have lights, and we'd have multiple people running cameras.

• 01:41

  And we were sitting there with Dan, and we had filmed this beautiful conversation.

• 01:46

  And Dan was incredibly busy.

• 01:48

  He was launching his book, or his latest book at the time.

• 01:51

  And I knew that he had to literally, he was leaving us, and then he was going, you know, he came from tv interviews, and he was going to another series of interviews where he would then get on a plane and spend the next week or so sort of country hopping and doing media.

• 02:04

  What he did really surprised me.

• 02:07

  So as soon as we wrapped, he took a look at one of the guys who was filming, and what he noticed was one of our cameramen had ink.

• 02:15

  You know, he had a fair amount of tattoos on a lot of his body, but most of it wasn't showing.
