Today, we talk about the meeting that went down between Blockbuster and Netflix in 2000, and the business implications from this. We also discuss Amazon's new shoe that was released this summer and how it will compete with Allbirds. We then highlight a new invention from Indianapolis entrepreneur Bart Waclawik , which aims to treat anxiety and depression through headset technology.

In real life experience, Tim talks about a new morning routine involving movement and balance that allows him to wake up better each morning. Slager brings up a point about making tough conversations easier and more effective.

In the book talk section, Slager recaps a section of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and the right way to approach arguments. Tim talks about a section from "Soul Fuel" by Bear Grylls involving the concept of fear and taking risk.
