What do Kobe Bryant, Matt Ghaffari, WWE legend Lita, Tim "Ripper" Owens, and Michael Jordan have in common?
This week, I dropped a long-awaited new video on my YouTube channel, Chris Fitzpatrick Speaks, distilling one small piece of my "Becoming a Fan" keynote for viewers.
In this 8-minute video, I tee up the concept of "Personal Aspiration" and its psychological connection to fanship. We often become fans of someone or something when we identify aspirational qualities to the people or experiences - this gives us early concepts of role models. A 6-year-old might attend his first hockey game, for example, and some home turning everything in the house into a stick, a puck, or a net with which to practice.
Explore this new video with me, and please share who or what you aspired to be and how that aspiration shaped your goals, career, habits, interests, etc.

So excited that today I will check a major goal off my list and officially become a #TEDx speaker! I'm looking forward to seeing my talk, "The Urgency of Mentorship," on the @TEDx channel in the future, as I believe my unique lens of mentorship is undoubtedly an idea worth spreading. Stay tuned for more content on #mentorship, #leadership, #professionaldevelopment, and loads more on #ChrisFitzpatrickSpeaks!

Each year, I partner with @AmericanCancerSociety to raise money through their #MenWearPink fundraiser by doing one pushup for every $1 donated. The pushups are done on a personalized thank you video dedicated to the donor and posted to my #YouTube channel. Here is the latest one! #MWPPUSHUPS

My latest video is posted! Check out "Mindset and Environment - A Performance Matrix." This video discusses how individual mindset and leadership environment effect us, and the four basic quadrants that are created by the two coming together.
What quadrants have you experiences? How did you move out of one into another? #Share your stories in the comments, and please #subscribe and #share!
