Polly Culp | Think of Others More Than of Yourself


Chad talks with Polly Culp about her superpower of making people feel seen and special. She talks about learning to set tables at camp "as though Christ is going to sit there," her favorite scripture about thinking more of others than yourself, and why genuine curiosity beats any agenda. Polly also shares how her dad modeled loving people, and why the treasure she finds in others fills her cup every single day.

Key Takeaways:

  • Genuine curiosity has no agenda - Polly doesn't interview people or try to get something from them; she just really wants to know who they are, where they're from, and how they got here

  • Set every table like Christ is sitting there - At Young Life camp, Polly learned that excellence in small things removes distractions and helps people feel comfortable enough to open up

  • Ask better questions to get past small talk - Deeper questions lead to finding the treasure in people
