Yin and Yancy, Ep. 15: What Will You Learn, Earn, and Return?

In this episode of Yin and Yancy, Andrew and Yancy reflect on a powerful message inspired by a Denzel Washington clip: in life, you learn, you earn, and you return. This simple yet profound idea sparked a deeper conversation about personal growth, experience, and how we pass on what we’ve gained—whether in our families, careers, or communities. Yancy shares how this perspective shows up in his own journey as a father, while Andrew explores the role this plays in coaching, mentorship, and the influence we have on the next generation.

Together, they unpack how our life experiences—good or bad—shape what we “return” to the world. The two also explore how learning and earning aren’t just about personal gain, but about growing the wisdom and awareness to pay things forward in meaningful ways. As coaches, parents, and leaders, it’s important to recognize what habits, values, and perspectives are worth passing down—and which ones we can improve for those who come after us. This episode is a powerful reminder that how we choose to return what we've learned and earned can create lasting impact. Enjoy the episode!
