About this Episode

Show Description:

We have an open conversation about the El Paso and Dayton shootings and the role that social media plays in uniting or dividing the nation. We also get into the sharp decline in the stock market, and how the USA-China Trade War impacts the dip.

In real life experience, we pick up our conversation about action vs. intent, and how you can create an environment that promotes meaningful action. Tim then describes a new routine he has been trying to make his brain smarter, and the long-term benefits that it provides.

In the book talk section, we get into creating meaningful content for your brand story ("Crush It" by Gary V), as well as being humble and giving credit to others throughout your successes ("Swim with the Sharks" by Harvey Mackay).
