Shawn Anderson, Extra Mile Day Founder on “Why Going the Extra Mile Matters in Life”

“Imagine if you asked your boss, ‘What is something extra I can do to help us succeed?’ Imagine if you asked a friend, ‘What can I do to help you reach your goal?’ Imagine if you reached out to cause whose mission you cared about and said, ‘I want to volunteer,’” says Anderson. “It’s living with that sort of extra-mile attitude and effort that has the power to influence everything about our lives.”
