We scrub up ok 💕 Anything for @Nina Carmichael

Sergey Brin was born in Moscow and lived in a tiny 400 square foot apartment with his family. His father Michael faced discrimination as a Jewish mathematician in the Soviet Union, so the family moved to America as refugees when Sergey was six years old. Sergey struggled at first with the English language and was teased in school, but he excelled in math and eventually studied computer science at Stanford University. There, he met Larry Page, and together they built the search engine Google in a garage owned by Susan Wojcicki. Even though they almost sold Google to Excite early on, they grew it into a global tech giant. Sergey went on to step down to study physics, but he returned to the Google office to help lead its brand new Gemini artificial intelligence project.

Your future self will live with those choices. So choose something today that your future self will thank you for. What’s one decision you can make for your future today?

Many people think they need full confidence before they can lead a team. You do not. You do not need to be the perfect leader to lead. You just need to care, show up, and keep getting better. Perfect leaders do not exist, but growing leaders do. When I started building teams, I did not have all the answers. I was learning every day, but I still showed up and believed in the people around me. • An entrepreneur can still guide the team by setting one clear goal for the day. • A creator can lead a small team just by showing up and doing the work first. • A business owner can build trust by listening, supporting the team, and celebrating small wins. Your team does not need a perfect leader. They need someone who believes in them and keeps moving forward. Lead while you grow. That is how great leaders are built. #Believe
