主持人：优秀的领导者应该像Blake Hall一样，兼具谦逊和强烈的服务意识。Blake Hall的成功证明了谦逊和服务意识的价值。他的经历体现了美国精神：服务与创业的结合。 Blake Hall：领导者不应该认为自己比下属优秀，应该选择声誉较差的团队来展现优秀领导力的影响，并且应该优先服务最需要帮助的人。谦逊并非懦弱，而是对他人想法的开放。想要培养谦逊，就要提升自信。领导者需要在专业领域保持自信，同时也要展现脆弱性，并勇于寻求帮助。优秀的领导者会迅速寻求帮助，这源于他们的自信和安全感。年轻的领导者常常因为害怕失去权威而隐瞒自己的不足，但寻求帮助才能真正解决问题。 在战争经历中，他深刻体会到团队合作和集体智慧的重要性，以及领导者需要做出正确的决策来保护士兵的生命安全。他创办ID.me的初衷是为了帮助退伍军人解决身份盗窃问题，并逐渐扩展到更广泛的用户群体，与政府合作，构建更完善的数字身份验证体系。数据经纪人将个人数据出售给境外实体的行为是不道德的。ID.me的使命是建立以用户为中心的数字身份验证模型，并消除不道德的数据经纪人。专注于小目标才能取得更大的成功。 Blake Hall：在军队生涯中，他带领士兵成功保护了美国士兵的生命安全，这次战斗的成功是团队合作和集体智慧的结果。退伍后，他希望找到与军中相同的目标感和团队精神，在麦肯锡的经历让他意识到，单纯追求商业利益并不能带给他满足感。他创办ID.me，旨在解决退伍军人在证明身份时面临的困境，提供更安全便捷的在线身份验证方式，并解决了商家在提供优惠时面临的欺诈风险。ID.me的服务范围扩展到更多群体，其成功源于其专注于服务退伍军人的初衷，并逐渐扩展到更广泛的用户群体。
