What if the idea that could change everything is already in front of you—but you just need the clarity to bring it to life?
In this episode of Go Influence Life, Christian Hansen shares the remarkable story behind one of the world’s greatest masterpieces: Michelangelo’s David. For nearly 40 years, a massive block of flawed marble—nicknamed Il Gigante—sat abandoned in a Florentine courtyard. Rejected by multiple master sculptors, including Leonardo da Vinci, the stone was seen as worthless... until Michelangelo stepped in. With extraordinary clarity of vision, he saw David fully formed within the stone and simply set him free.
But what does this have to do with influence and success?
Everything. Because the difference between an idea with potential and an idea with permanence... is clarity.
