In today's current events, we highlight Burger King's creative advertising campaign involving food comas. We also discuss the streaming wars, and how competition is heating up between Amazon, Google, and Disney after a couple of branding disputes. We end the segment by talking about email fraud and how a homebuyer from Texas was a victim of a business email compromise scam.

In the real life experience section, Slager gets into what separates dreamers from doers, as well as the importance or cross-training. Tim describes the lessons he learned after experiencing debit card fraud this past weekend.

For book talk, Tim expands on some advice about handling uncertainty from Laura R. Walker in Tim Ferriss' book "Tribe of Mentors." Slager discusses what it means to do the hard tasks and black out distractions, analyzing parts of Aubrey Marcus' "Own the Day, Own Your Life."
