What if the treasure you’ve been searching for… is already under your feet?

In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori shares one of the most enduring—and surprisingly unknown—stories in personal development: Acres of Diamonds, made famous by Russell Conwell. But this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a powerful metaphor for modern life, influence, leadership, and connection.

You’ll discover:

• The surprising origin of Temple University—and how a single story helped build it.
• Why we often miss the diamonds in our own lives, careers, and relationships.
• How “scroll culture” and comparison trap us in the illusion of greener grass.
• What conversational hypnosis and hypnotic gifts have to do with uncovering buried potential—in yourself and others.
• How to help others mine the diamonds within their own story, team, or skillset—one conversation at a time.

This episode isn’t just insight. It’s a call to mine what’s already yours—and to help others do the same.
