Nerds are often stereotyped as being the type of person that has no social skills, can't handle human contact, and is defined as odd according to social norms. But this isn't true at all! Nerds rule the world because they are brave enough to declare their love for something even if it's in front of complete strangers, and committed enough to build a following around what they love.
Originally NERD a derogatory term and was a stereotype, it has been reclaimed and redefined by some as a term of pride and group identity.
I also give you 6 ways that I think being defined as a NERD can help you in life.
Quotes from this episode:
“So you're a little weird? Work it! A little different? Own it! Better to be a nerd than one of the herd!” - Mandy Hale
“Everyone's a nerd inside. I don't care how cool you are.” - Channing Tatum
“If you like nerds, raise your hand. If you don't, raise your standards.” - Violet Haberdasher
“Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.” - Bill Gates
“Nerds get caught up in details because there is a tremendous and fulfilling sense of control in understanding every single detail of a thing more than any other living creature.” - Chris Hardwick
“Nerd. One whose unbridled passion for something defines who they are as a person, without fear of other people's judgment.” - Zachary Levi
“In fact, the world needs more nerds.” - Ben Bernanke

Quotes from this episode:
“Every minute you spend looking through the clutter, wondering where you put this or that, being unable to focus because you’re not organized costs you: the time you could have spent with family or friends, time you could have been productive around the house, time you could have been making money.” - Jean Chatzky
“The first step in crafting the life you want is to get rid of everything you don’t.” ― Joshua Becker
“Clutter is caused by a failure to return things to where they belong. Therefore, storage should reduce the effort needed to put things away, not the effort needed to get them out.” ― Marie Kondo
“Owning less is better than organizing more.” ― Joshua Becker
“Out of calmness comes clarity.” ― Trevor Carss
“If you’re not using the stuff in your home, get rid of it. You’re not going to start using it more by shoving it in a closet somewhere.” ― Joshua Becker
“In the never-ending battle between order and chaos, clutter sides with chaos every time. Anything that you possess that does not add to your life or your happiness eventually becomes a burden.” ― John Robbins
“Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions” ― Barbara Hemphill

How important is Leading by Serving in life? This episode focuses on changing your mindset from focusing on yourself to focusing on others and serving them.
Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve….You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.
—Martin Luther King, Jr.
I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.
—Albert Schweitzer
Organizations exist to serve. Period. Leaders live to serve. Period.
—Tom Peters
True marketing starts…with the customer, his demographics, his realities, his needs, his values. It does not ask, “What do we want to sell?” It asks, “What does the customer want to buy?”
—Peter Drucker
