Most people are conditioned to believe that knowledge is
power, when, in fact, knowledge is only potential power. In my life, I’ve been
blessed enough to have many meaningful conversations, yet the one I had this
past week on emotional intelligence with a young woman, Ashley Zahabian, who I met at the
entrepreneurial incubator that I recently launched, Fownders, really resonated with me.
We were going through her pitch deck and stumbled across the
topic of “EQ” emotional intelligence. As the conversation grew more in depth,
she told me a powerful story of a young boy and his grandfather that truly
altered my perception.
“A young boy and his grandfather were sitting in a car on
their way to a restaurant to grab dinner,” she said. She went on explaining how
the grandfather was curious as to what his grandson’s choice of food would be.
