Yo, today's QOD is you don't have to impress anyone anymore.

Here we go.

Welcome back to the quarter of the day show I'm your host Sean Crox and a Sean Crox

in .com.

We got a brand new speaker on the show today.

His name is Anthony Demelo and I highly recommend you put this talk on repeat because

it's very important.

You know, if you follow me on Instagram, you know in my stories, hmm, once or twice a week

I have an outburst and I will just say what's on my mind.

A lot of what's on my mind is not mainstream conventional thinking, right?

I have a mind of my own and you know, I don't blindly subscribe to narratives.

I like to do my own research and see what's true and what's not.

And I often get direct messages or even in private conversations, people say, oh my gosh,

I wish I can say that because that's what I think.

But I can't say that because of what people are going to think of me.

What are they going to say?

Are they going to cast me out?

And this is something that a lot of people struggle with.

They're addicted to the drug as Anthony says in this clip, the drug of approval.

They're hooked on that drug to the point where people will say things among a group that

are different from what they will say in a private one-on-one conversation.

Because they need approval and they need belonging.
