There are many times I’ll record the podcast & then read something later that I wish I would’ve added with a “Oh by the way” segment.

Takeru Kobayashi is a Japanese competitor who came on the scene by winning the Nathan’s Coney Island Hot Dog 🌭 Eating Contest. He blew up the previous record- doubling the results by asking the question how can make eating hot dogs “easier.” Easy tends to have a negative connotation when it comes to making strides of accomplishments- we think to do something worthwhile it’s gotta be grueling..tha...

Seeing a little boy in his driveway, knees bent looking up into the thick, fluffy clouds really got to me. I realized as a “grown up” I stopped looking up & imagining everything that is available to me...so many possibilities...I created my own fences & stopped making my beliefs.
