[upbeat music] My favorite mantra is, "I am enough no matter what, but I'm not done yet." There's no finish line to your purpose, right? A- again, if you're purpose-driven, there's no finish line. You'll never get there. As one of the world's most in-demand mentor and leadership coaches, Ben has worked with the likes of Ash Barty, Andre Agassi, the 2017 Richmond premiership team, just to name a few. You can't find a single definition of love, and you can't find a single definition of play, 'cause it means something different to everyone. Love is the intention, and play is the action. As human beings, all we need is love. As human doings, all we need is play.

So play is just the key to it all really, isn't it?
Ben Crowe· Guest0:38
It, it needs a fundamental rebrand. We also want to talk about expectations.
Ryan Shelton· Host0:42
Careful here. It's a dangerous word, expectations.
Ben Crowe· Guest0:45
Isn't that right, Ben? You've definitely read the first page. [laughs] [laughs] Ryan has officially read page one of the book.
Ryan Shelton· Host0:54
I'm just saying, be careful. [laughs] [laughs] We're all born with X chromosomes or XY chromosomes. However, there is one man who was born with something else.
Ben Crowe· Guest1:11
Mm-hmm.
Ryan Shelton· Host1:12
The Ben chromosome.
Ben Crowe· Guest1:14
[laughs] [laughs] Good. Very good.
Ryan Shelton· Host1:19
And he's here.
Ben Crowe· Guest1:20
[laughs] How long have you been sitting on that?
Ryan Shelton· Host1:22
About two days.
Ben Crowe· Guest1:22
Okay.
Ryan Shelton· Host1:23
[laughs] I quickly ran into Belle next door. I said, "Hang on. X chromosomes, Y chrom- wh- who has what? What, is it X or one X or?"
Ben Crowe· Guest1:29
Chromosome.
