Control What You Can Control with Arlan Hamilton

In this 2021 re-release, founder at Backstage Capital and Runner, Arlan Hamilton, explores the notion that making a difference doesn’t always require grand or monumental actions. Control What You Can Control.  This episode emphasizes that even small gestures or actions can have a significant impact on someone’s life. Arlan provides various examples, such as starting a blog, speaking publicly, writing a book, or simply sharing personal experiences. The key point is that if just one person hears or reads these stories and it resonates with them at the right moment, it can lead to positive changes in their life. The episode also underscores the importance of starting small and gradually building upon those efforts. Arlan shares her own experience of starting with a blog post on Medium, which eventually led to her success in building a venture capital fund. The message is clear: making a difference begins with taking small steps and staying true to oneself.
