David and The Jimmy go deep on what David believes he's discovered in Europe, the behaviors, tenacity and spirit of the founders of the United States. Apparently it is alive and well in Europe as it has been for centuries, but the same can't be said for those in the states, it's gotten diluted, relaxed, entitled, and the further west you go, the worse it is. .

David and The Jimmy discuss a number of topics but the main one is out of no where... the World Cup. Being in Europe, roaming around, David has managed to somehow have chosen World Cup central being in Croatia and it sounds like he's been bitten by the bug. No big dumb hats, long loud scarves or face paint... yet, but he certainly talks like he knows what's up. Let's see how off he is in the days to come. No one is holding their breath!

Michelle is away on vacay so David invited a special celebrity guest to co-host for a few episodes. This is where y'all get to meet "the Jimmy". David and the Jimmy discuss the song and video that David produced in his down time between hammering out chapters for his new book. Which, for your viewing and listening pleasure is right there: https://youtu.be/e-vMwEeQk3g The twosome, citing the sentiment of the song, did not squander the opportunity to remind everyone that this holiday season is not always bright, cheery and warm for everyone. In Jimmy's debut, he does a great job with the homework.

Down the rabbit hole they both go with T.S. Eliot. David spends significant time ruminating over what he considers to be one of the most brilliant quotes of all time, which, not surprisingly, aligns with Michelle and David's message through the Red Kite Movement. Michelle travels along and divulges that of the 618 episodes, this is her favorite. Strong words. Listen today to hear why she sincerely feels this.

Michelle congratulates David and showers him with accolades for his recent quantity and quality of his work. Producing 8 chapters in less than a month, he's on a roll. But is it any good?

The bigger question is, what did you expect? This is less of a story of dog bites man than man bites dog. Feeling like just a continuation of the day prior, David is dumbfounded with the scams and greed that happen during the holidays. Met with less than wonderful and lasting final impression of Italy, he is frustrated by how current laws open the door to allowing companies to treat their customers like shit. A strong warning to avoid Ryanair.

Practice what you preach on this day of inspiration! David has a series of follies where absolutely zero went to plan on his seemingly simple itinerary. And, when backed into a corner, the claws came out and he not only didn't put up with the bullshit like most everyone else would, he took action and overcame every single hurdle in style. As you listen, ask yourself, what would you have done? And, how would you have felt about yourself after? Michelle supports this concept as part of the homework today.

In Parma, David took his new girl out in the rain to perform at Verdi's tribute museum. The perfect moment was presented to him on a silver platter and he completely choked. After listening to the episode, click on this link for a complete understanding: https://youtu.be/OOhLs6oDvT0

What does David have to do to escape America? It just seems to keep following him relentlessly. On his way out of Italy, David stops in Parma as an unexpected side-trip making his way back to Milan to be closer to the airport. As the bells of the adjacent church rocked him out of bed the following morning, he couldn't believe his eyes. Was this Parma or Manhattan? Michelle offers a very serious homework assignment related to David's discovery that everyone should commit to.

David has a sobering moment as he discovers his new love's one flaw. Will he overlook and overcome? Or will this be the deal-breaker? Michelle points out that a major reason why people engage with one another is over the offering of something alluring and tangibly different. David takes us along his journey hiking shear cliff trails in Cinque Terre. As usual, his experience was heightened by an unexpected and fittingly unusual characteristic innate to him, elevating the risk factor of an already risky adventure.

On this day dedicated to creating remarkable memories, David is in the thick of it. And, while just being in Cinque Terre will undoubtedly do the trick, he does what he does best, he consciously manifests ones where the average person may not. A key element of this process is understanding that any exceptional event, will be the building block for a remarkable memory. To most, it's not completely understood that "exceptional" simply means one standard deviation from the mean - which often means that the event may be construed as negative at the time, but later will be embraced and recalled with fond affection. Translated: There is no such thing as a "bad memory" in this paradigm, labels are for shrinks and have no place in our Red Kite sanctuary.

Well, that's an odd gift of the day, no? Of course, David has a great explanation of the meaning and the dots that he's connected in his travels and with those he has met along his path. While he has bonded with many, the depth of the bond between he and his new friend stands out. Michelle's homework is incredibly important and will likely resonate with everyone - the cliche "we've all done it" applies here. Let's just stop doing it, is her battlecry. Find out what it is by pressing play.

Oh boy, blasphemy has been spoken by the duo which could wind them up in an Italian prison.

David just won't shut up about his experience in Tuscany. Hot on the heels of his blissful experiences in Milan, he doubles down and reveals that while his heart is still beating for Dubrovnik and Milan, it is now shared with Monte San Savino. Michelle's homework is a major homerun. After he describes the property he's scouting, does anyone get the sense that David is not coming back to the states?

David and Michelle rap about the influences of location upon an artist. David discusses his experiences in Milan and rolls the dice by coaxing a real-time response from his stoic partner about her opinions on his recent chapter submissions. Michelle freely expresses her opinions and the two discuss one of the unique features of the new book. The homework is reflective of the fact that every artist should stand on the shoulders of their heroes. The question is, will you be visible?

What the? On this day dedicated to leadership.... David shares his harrowing tale of trying to extinguish his flame of desire for his guitar collection back home by going far and wide and being persistent, unrelenting, in his pursuit. Michelle calls it a true rock and roll moment. And while he is eventually vindicated, like with a boat, it is unlucky to not have a name for your axe - he struggles with this new task in the moment. Maybe someone can assist?

Sitting completely naked, perched upon a rock wall in the harbor of bustling Dubrovnik, David arrives at an epiphany. Michelle is an apt pupil and takes David's quiz on body image and eating disorders. They both conclude, using COVID as evidence, that if the globe wants to eradicate a disease or disorder, they can pool together their resources and get it done. The only way of interpreting this not being done, is acceptance of the illness and accepting the outcomes of destruction in it's path. Michelle asserts that the evil lurking behind the sloth, is money. And, she's very likely correct.

As you may have surmised, David is recording from Montenegro. He is trending hard on self-disclosure this week and humbly admitting that before this trip, he had no idea that Montenegro was even a place, getting it confused with Sierra Leone somehow. Michelle is right there with him, joining him as she falls on her sword, admitting the same. And to say the least, this is a great lesson and, for sure, a ripe environment to create remarkable memories.

In rare form, David, once again, shares a deeply personal story at risk of significant judgement and questioning, only bonding us all together more. HIs relationship with the number 11 is intriguing to say the least. Michelle has similar instances and makes it her homework to dig down to discover more. Can you unravel the mystery of the constant recurrence of the number 11 in David's life?

On this day dedicated to humility, David shows his bravery by sharing a deeply embarrassing story. He recounts getting royally bitch-slapped by tourists for his arrogance in not learning so much as a single word of the language of his new host country. Caught off-guard with no funny quip at the ready, he does the unthinkable, he abandons his attractive accusers and feigns urgency to get home, tail between his legs, he retreats. Michelle is dumbfounded but appreciates David's honest divulgence and encourages him to maybe learn some of the language!

A few simple observations of Croatian children playing on playgrounds and their guardian's responses to injuries sends David into deep introspection and yet another rant about how Americans are destroying their children's competitive edge. The second generation of everyone gets a trophy, banning homework and coddling the living shit out of their progeny. Michelle weighs in and couldn't agree more. The answer to why American kids are not the majority in their own Ivy League colleges is pretty simple. Yet we still watch as parents disable their children with a strange sense of urgency and then lament, surprised, dismayed, perplexed, at how their kids didn't get accepted into quality colleges, or into any college at all. Entitlement is always at the root of these behaviors and their subsequent outcomes and it starts at a young age, guided by strong parents.

What's with all the double entendres? David is on a roll, not only with his writing, but with his transparency. While working on one of his books, he contemplates whether he can act as master while still a student. Michelle offers up her advice and views on delegating the locus of control of creativity outward and seems to have a viable solution for herself. David's keep insight and observations reveal that he is more than aware of his past shortsightedness and has already started walking down the road to recovery. If you've ever surrendered the control of your creativity or have recognized it's decline, there are tips and tricks in this episode to guide you.

In a clever play on words, David shares how he is managing through his recent illness in a foreign land. Michelle points out that his techniques are unique and quite effective. As expected, David applies the doula heart empathy outward to minimize his struggle and contemplates how others navigate under even more dire conditions. On the flip side, they both ponder the phenomenon of how some entitled people's fear morphs into anger leading to the false belief that raging against the machine will somehow grant you want you desire.

How often is it that you can use the word "Boo" in both it's intended forms and still have it make sense? Well, David and Michelle figured it out. Being that this is Halloween, at least for 13 countries of the 195, "BOO!" is the operative word of the day. On the other hand, as David acclimates to Croatia and starts making observations, as only he can, his intuition drives him to begin researching his hunches. As a cereal and hopeless humanitarian, it's not surprising that his focus is on the plague of global homelessness. As his facts and figures paint an ugly picture of poor leadership by the American government, he delivers a hearty "booooo" for their bumbling error-filled performance. He spotlights Portland and San Francisco who each, on their own, have twice as much homeless as the entire country of Croatia. What has seemingly become acceptable, is inexcusable and must be dealt with. As David drills down on how Croatia has managed to pull this off, he will share his insights in an attempt to see if it translates to application in the US.

On they day dedicated to gratitude, David and Michelle have a LOT to be thankful for. It's tradition that as they approach their anniversary date, they stop and drill down on their analytics and thank all of their 12k+ listeners. The population is slowly growing and the reach it remarkably impressive. The duo have no intention of slowing down and have so many to thank for their support, both emotionally and financially.

Living in Plan B is the battle cry of the Red Kite Movement, yet it's not always easy as David explains in this layered episode. After a chance meeting with Minna on the beach in Dubrovnik, which blossomed into a 16-minute impromptu interview of pure gold, it was later discovered that the bluetooth fucked the recording process, once again. After meditating on this devastating loss, David was able to live his message and adapt, adjust and overcome the universe's will and come to the conclusion that the time they spent together was not meant for the public's consumption. In a freakish twist of fate, a follow-up interview had been conducted, the first of it's kind, which WAS usable and recapped the time they spent together nicely. Michelle comments on both interviews and delivers important homework.

David and Michelle reunite after a brief separation due to time zones, distances, obligations and technology limitations. On this day dedicated to humility, David falls on his sword once again and admits his challenges in moving to a foreign country on the fly in the absence of researching it, learning the language, understanding the culture and assuming that he would be a boss at navigating it. Many of his discoveries will give the listeners a Sunday vibe at the same time appreciating things ya'll take for granted. Today's episode is full of David's signature self-deprecative humor. Michells follows along vicariously and walks away with gratitude for her everyday life in America.

David is rounding third and heading for home, more than 3/4 of his flights complete, he's a bit punchy, jet-lagged and culture-shocked. With no offense meant by his observations to the nice people of Munich or Germany, David's sarcasm is at an all-time high due to his fatigue and the listeners are the beneficiary to his wit, wisdom and humor.

David has left the building... more specifically, as promised, he has left the country. Solo today, David recounts his first test that resulted in his first failure. HIs love affair with meeting and bonding with people, proved to be too much for his discipline and restraint as the universe delivered Rachael. But, despite veering off mission momentarily, he has zero regrets. Podcasting from the Vancouver airport without his mics, which were unexpectedly checked in with his carry-on, he manages to navigate through the chaotic noise that can only exist in a busy airport.

David and Sarah meet for drinks and freeform – intended to be a discussion on humility – the walk from the airport to the café morphed and changed their final destination. Four clips: Clip 1. The fool’s game of thinking you can change aspects of your partner, embracing what makes your relationship quirky and… the deal-breaker and where compatibility plays a significant role. Clip 2. Questioning decisions…”Holding your past hostage is holding your future hostage.” Clip 3. Ripping the band-aid off vs. the fallacy of the effectiveness of relationship CPR – knowing the delicate balance. Clip 4. Rising above, knowing when you’re the thorn in the foot. Elevating to true love. Michelle and David comment on the conversation. Still experimenting, the duo are in experimentation mode with their format – nothing is off the table. (foreshadow)

The dorky duo recount David's adventures at the Elton John concert. Michelle makes fun of David for playing pickle ball and makes it clear that it's not her jam, then redeems David's lapse of judgment by pointing out his epic Rock and Roll move of flying his drum set to his daughter in Napa instead of driving it.

David and Michelle take the gift of the day in a new direction, breaking free from their traditional podcast methods, they could not ignore what so many are. Taking a bootlegged contraband audio file of a young Iranian woman who was freshly beaten in the streets, begging for assistance, the duo felt obliged to share, as she requested. Typically steering away from hot-button political topics, they dove head-first into this one. This episode is truly an exclusive. Warning - much of this content is disturbing.

Michelle consoles, supports and applauds his nature to share even his most intensely personal adventures. The story and message are so engaging, the duo completely forgets to assign homework.

David and Michelle are, once again, inspired by the strong and obvious messages that the universe wants them to transmit to the world. Today, we are graced with a cute story about a bird who randomly stopped into the beach house and nonchalantly went about it's mission without any fear, feeling completely safe in an otherwise perceived dangerous environment. This was like the apple for Newton as it pushed David's mind into high-gear, contemplating the value of safety and the feeling one gets from not only experiencing it, but providing it.

This is a must-listen. During a "mood", David documented his feelings and came to a sobering, albeit somewhat obvious conclusion about moods and how they spiderweb out to effect not only the quality of your output, but the quality of your life. The scariest and most concerning conclusion deals with the impact on the quantity of your life. Michelle stands by this theory whole-heartedly and offers her perspective.

David and Michelle recount the day that the plane that David used to fly crashed, making national news. They drill down on the vast array of responses people had and in the process are impressed with all of the diverse rationales that actually do make sense. The homework is simple but potent as Michelle has an emotional attachment to it.

Humility is such an effective tool - it releases you to do what you know in your heart of hearts is correct by factoring out the ego in the process and swallowing pride to move your personal meter. To say the least, it's a survival of the creative technique, and it's attractive. No one likes someone who is committed to a belief they no longer believe in but need to save face. FUGLY.

Yeah, you can tell by this title that it won't be overly serious today. Listen how David's new friend, Lauren, keeps her head on a swivel when it comes to the endless opportunities for road rage. The biggest lesson is that all you need to do to radically change your paradigm of thinking is to alter your perspective. This is the modern-day version of when you were told by your speech teacher to imagine everyone in their underwear! Brilliant, yet simple.

What a random thing to say, and an even more random story that is 100% fact. The idea of "putting the ball in play" and getting yourself out there increases the chances for not only more connection with humanity, but allows the universe to do it job. How many have these types of stories? It's not hard to manifest, you simply have to want it and then act like it.

David and Michelle examine how when you stick to what you believe in, it can, and often does, work out in the end. In this case, unlike the classic tune.... David fought the law and David won. He prevailed by staying true to his beliefs and as many others paid dearly, he walked away satisfied with the outcome. A true lesson for all in this story.

David is basking in the afterglow of getting back into the cockpit with his solo endorsement. And while he is full of Gratitude, he shares with Michelle and the audience that he is more thankful for the second chance, and that this experience has left him humbled and deeply aware of how rare and precious second chances are. If you listen closely, you can catch that he's not talking solely about his flying.

With zero explanation for her mystery hiatus, or the major gap between episodes, Michelle takes the reins back from Kelly and has triumphantly returned, just like old times. Today the duo discuss the gratitude they have for not just the bodies they were given but the wisdom to be conscious of taking care of themselves. The concept of "use it or lose it" is still as true today as it was when it as first coined. Michelle and David share their secrets to their motivation and encourage the listeners to follow suit with a stern and ominous warning from the crystal ball.

Back in "Hades Town" where golden memories were once routinely forged, sculpted and shaped, is now creating memories just as easily surrendered. Yes, another deserveed point blank blasting of San Francisco, the giant war zone centered in a toilet. The lesson today is, you can't always have pleasant remarkable memories - "remarkable" means just that.... it's worthy of conversation. Sometimes, sharing "bad" memories is more valuable than sharing the good ones, especially if there is a strong lesson. So.... guess what.... School is IN session today folks.

As the clock winds down on Michelle's hiatus, Kelly and David take their waning opportunity to sound off on the culture of litter bugs and how it's gotten completely out of hand. Why have signs that boast a significant fine for littering? Since no one enforces these fines or tickets anyone, those signs become ironic... since they are not effective, they are litter as well.

Kelly and David discuss the benefits of a minimalist existence, especially during a time where, thanks to POOR leadership of our nation, "things" are inflated in price. It's times like these that make you stop and contemplate what you want and what you need. Things don't bond, things actually open the door to separation. Take a look around your family. Who is on a device right at this moment? Does that "thing" bring you together or push you apart as a family? Leading by example, the duo are jettisoning their "crap" and making space for more time together, opening up to experiences. Follow their lead and lead your family out of the great separation.

Arguably the most mellow episode to date, Kelly and David are struck with a very profound statement, meant to be in passing, in their pursuit for enlightenment at Church today.

The homework today is fairly straight forward but fueled with fresh perspective and emotion.

Kelly and David are disgusted by what they experience in San Francisco. It's one thing to be tolerant during a difficult time, it's another to accept incredibly poor leadership. The irony is so thick given the fact that they were there to take in a play called Hadestown. The duo immediately noted that San Francisco is the new Hadestown. On a day dedicated to bonding, it was incredibly challenging to bond with a city that they both lived and worked in but has undeniably been given up on. While they aren't big on protests, they encourage their listeners to avoid San Francisco until there is either new leadership or a major shift.

There they go again. Retirement life is not sucking. The journey continues and they are off the rails. Humility is not an ingredient in this recipe but it's worth a listen to discover who kite flyers approach being newly retired. Go big or go home and you are all invited to join them. Shy of converting a school bus into a roaming party on wheels, they are just as hedonistic as Ken and the crew. If you didn't get the reference, look it up, learn something new.

Kelly recalls a story of a simple event at a hardware store that had a large impact on the twosome. The lesson that they came away with reinforces how each of them have lead their careers and is in stark contrast to the norm. It's no wonder why people view "work" as "work" and not "play". If we all went to "play" everyday, we'd be much happier, attractive, fulfilled and live longer. But, sadly, no amount of "handcopters" can solve this true pandemic.

Still in "catch-up" mode after being sidelined with COVID due to human error, Kelly and David recount a story about how their energy attracted a few months to flame. Kelly talks about the twosome's experience at Home Depot, of all places, where they met like-minded folks during an attempted prank and now may have lifelong friends because of it. David points out that energy attracts or repels and many don't see the link, they just see the results. What's your attitude and energy like? If you are a human repellant, you may want to really drill down on the truth about your energy.

Kelly and David drill down on what seems to be obvious but somehow still seems foreign to most - "where there's a will there's a way". It's a fact - and the active ingredient in this recipe is WILL. Plain and simple, if you want it bad enough, you will get it. And, if you don't have what you are seeking, it's because you don't want it bad enough. David shares stories from his distant past about how he used his will power and his creativity and a little huzpah and got what he was looking for. Better than getting it, was the feeling of overcoming obstacles that others just couldn't seem to overcome - making it more of a trophy than just a prize. Belly up to the bar and give it a listen.

It's not a question of if, it's a question of how many things do you do that drives your partner crazy.... and, how many things does your partner do that drives you insane as well? Are they deal-breakers or can you make light of them and accept your partner with all their quirks? Do you even address them or do they bottle up an explode? If you snore.... maybe it's a good idea to find out if it bothers your mate! And, if you love using exclamation points.... be aware that not everyone loves them as much as you do. Right, Kelly? :-)

Part of the "catch up" series, David and Kelly, still recovering from COVID while Michelle is down with it as well, recount the camping trip they recently took just prior to becoming infected. In the spirit of the theme of the day, they recap many of the remarkable memories that they created. One of Kelly's memories was a great example of a manufactured memory that was created by applying the "where there is a will, there's a way" philosophy that will be discussed further in upcoming episodes.

Huh? Who is "easily lead"? Certainly not David nor Michelle, right? Well, like most things, there are circumstances that allow for that. For David and Michelle, it's having total buy-in on the vision and the mission. Commitment ensues and when that is strong, they typically take it to the next level or even take the lead themselves. Listen to yet another story from Cowgirl Winery in Carmel Valley. Unlike previous endeavors, this one was an epic crash and burn with David being the butt of the joke.

Michelle and David extend yesterday's podcast a bit with the concept of rising to the occasion and giving that extra effort to push yourself into excellence. Anyone has the ability to quit. But contrary to belief, everyone also has the ability to push through it and bring yourself to the next level. The great thing about being at the next level is that you never go back down, you only continue to climb. David shares his story about how things didn't work out for practicing for a concert with someone he had never shared a stage with prior, playing songs he'd never heard before while his vocalist also had never sang to David's guitar. Together, with sheet music only, pulled off an over-the-top concert, leaving David feeling that he finally can call himself a true musician. Featuring and dedicated to Sabrina Kaz.

David and Michelle are at it again... Day two of discussing "circumstances" as another word for "plans you didn't know you had that were made for you by the universe". This welcoming embrace of change greases the wheels for the experiences that the universe felt were better suited for you than your original "human plans". And, as usual, once you accept and facilitate the "circumstances", it pops off famously, leaving you with better memories than what you were originally heading toward. How are you with switching gears? Not good at embracing unexpected change? Your ancestors were, otherwise, you wouldn't be here... ponder THAT and listen in today.

David and Kelly most definitely don't see eye to eye on this subject. While David posits that attempting to morph a failed relationship into something that is much like a forced repurpose and is rubbish, Kelly shares her perspective that all relationships have a purpose and that there is such thing as "failure" or a "death" of a relationship as David believes. The two go back and forth and while they respect one another's position, they agree to disagree. David illustrates his point by using an article he recently read in Esquire magazine.

The final episode in their 4-part series chronicling David's Orthowalk and all he absorbed on such a short journey. Today's walk, in accordance with the theme of the day for Sundays, was focused on Gratitude. The question to ponder is; do you actively seek out gratitude? David asserts that once you become full of gratitude, it's far easier to put it into action and do things for others for them to be grateful for.

Michelle and David deliberately do not follow the cut and paste media and remain anti-bandwagonesque by not mentioning the "event' that occurred nor those involved. They merely weigh in on how important it is to be cognizant of how ugly, pathetic and revealing it is to see droves of lemmings wasting time submitting opinions on manufactured unreality to no gain other than to feel a part of the stage. Michelle punts the homework back to David because she is left without words after his lengthy rant, worth of an Oscar itself. All the while, they stay true to today's theme - INSPIRATION!

David takes liberty with Luke 6:31 and adds a prequel to the phrase "do unto others" with a self-ish twist that totally makes sense. The concept of self-ishness wasn't around during Biblical times, so David is suggesting an important addendum. The rain is not everyone's jam - it's all about perspective - the key is being empathic to those around you when expressing yourself. While David looked forward to snuggling in bed and encouraging the wind and the rain to pelt the windows while safely and warmly inside, his counterpart had to ride his bike in it. Listen today for a delightedly refreshing departure from the norm.

RKM dedicated today's episode to Ray Bradbury. Care to guess why? That's a pretty easy one. Since today is dedicated to gratitude, David and Michelle decided to perform an exercise and challenge the audience to admit that they take more for granted than they realize. David takes one sentence and breaks it down into digestible tid bits of gratitude and shows that we most definitely have more gifts than challenges. He uses research, statistics and some basic math to more than prove his point. It's not a question of if, it's a question of - how much are you taking for GRANTED?

Michelle and David beat the drum of creating remarkable memories every Saturday - but rarely do they talk about the importance of sharing them.

David lists 6 major things NOT to do when someone attempts to share a remarkable memory with you. Michelle's homework is easy and effective.

Michelle and David dig down on the invention and intention of rules. Very few people question the spirit of the law and compare it to the letter of the law. David serves up some solid examples of how most rules don't apply to the elevated performers and thinkers - which is understandably frustrating. But, David does a complete 180 and declares that he does believe in one rule that he holds close to his heart and very rarely breaks. Which, sadly, happened recently.

Michelle and David wake early to podcast before dawn and it dawns on them that the universe is the ultimate and the original algorithm. Much like the modern day search engines that pester you and never let you forget that you once searched for a pair of rubber underwear, the universe will constantly tap you on the shoulder. Unfortunately for the universe, it doesn't have the luxury of pop ups, so you just have to be open to it's message. When it comes to feeling down or, as labelers like to label, depression, it is common for those who are suffering to have detached from the messages the universe are trying to send. With the right help, that antenna can be fixed. Unlike the internet, the universe is ALWAYS on your side.

David and Michelle dig up an old bone and share what could be the analogy of the year. On the day dedicated to "inspiration" it's flying freely in this episode. The idea of proclaiming to be a "healer" and an "empath" in public but behind the scenes ridiculing someone for being extraordinarily charitable "to a fault" goes beyond hypocrisy, it's terrifying and telling. On the flip side, it opens the listeners to a challenge of staying true to what they know is the right thing in the face of opposing influence. David reminds us that the loudest voice should be the one in your head.

Solid examples are given. Why is this so hard? And why do industries and people keep humping that wooden leg with a crazy sense of urgency in complete futility?

You know you're guilty of it - there's that place that you pass by on a daily basis and thought about stopping, but never have. Make today that day you stop and not only satisfy your curiosity, but develop a remarkable memory. You will never look at that place the same way again. What used to be a mystery, is not a memory.

David shares an embarrassing story about his recent case of putting 1+1 together and getting 0. The overarching message today is to quiet the ego, open yourself of up to alternative possibilities and let go of false narratives. Your world becomes smaller when you can't let go of what everyone else knows to be untrue. In a spherical world, those who still believe it's flat out of stubbornness are often alone.

David and Michelle open dialog over those personality types who aren't moving the needle but are somehow celebrating their performance. The truly sad part of this is that it was programmed in them by a failed parenting method of approach by liberal hippies de-motivating children and allowing everyone to get a trophy for unequal contribution. The ripple effect is sickening and the disappointment that comes with it is unconscionable and unforgivable. If you were a part of that failed movement, shame on you.
