MISSION
About this episode

“To be completely cured of newspapers, spend a year reading the previous week's newspapers.” ―Nassim Nicholas Taleb

What many people call "news" is little more than a listicle of the worst things happening in the world. 

Most "news" is designed to promote fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD!). 

There is a new kind of news that matters, a kind of news that will give you the information you need to succeed. 

Subscribe today, avoid news with FUD, and get ready for a deep dive into the news that matters.  

This episode is brought to you by Audible! To get a FREE audiobook, go to audible.com/themission or text themission to 500 500.
