About this Episode

Show Description:

In today's current events, we discuss the latest malfunction in a Boeing fleet, the increased competition in the plant-based space with Tyson Foods releasing a new option, the cyber security standoff between the United States and Russia, and the true cause of procrastination.

For today's real life experience, we reflect on what our dads mean to us, and how they have impacted our lives in a special way.

Ending the show on book talk, we highlight what it means to foster confidence in those around you, drawing from readings in "How to Win Friends and Influence People," as well as building a meaningful and authentic personal brand coming from Gary V's "Crush It."
