About this episode

Seems like no matter how hard you try you never pick the fastest checkout line in the supermarket. Why is that? This episode begins by explaining why that often seems to happen and why it probably isn’t a problem worth concerning yourself with. https://fetch.com/blog/smart-shopping/why-we-always-pick-the-slowest-checkout-line


At some point in your life, you have likely regretted NOT doing something because you just couldn’t muster up the courage. Being courageous is hard – yet we so admire courage in other people. It turns out we can all build our courage muscle according to Margie Warrell. She is a leadership advisor and keynote speaker who has worked with NASA, Dell, Morgan Stanley, HP, Google, and Johnson & Johnson and others. She is the author of several books – including The Courage Gap: 5 Steps to Braver Action (https://amzn.to/3PTp23q). Listen as she reveals the secrets for leading a courageous life.


Are you good at tidying up? Is your living space or workspace easy to navigate? Can you find the things you need because they are where they are supposed to be? The benefits of tidying can be tremendous – not only for its efficiency but also for your mental state. And tidying up is a lot easier than most of us think. That’s according to my guest Tyler Moore. He is the creator of the popular “Tidy Dad” Instagram, TikTok, and website. Tyler is also a public school teacher in New York City, who has been featured on Good Morning America and in The Washington Post and New York Post and he is author of the book Tidy Up Your Life (https://amzn.to/40Bt8SH).
