Right? And guess what? Now you can call the shots on your auto insurance too. Enter the name your price tool from Progressive.

The name your price tool puts you in charge of your auto insurance by working just the way it sounds. You tell Progressive how much you want to pay for car insurance.

It's easy to start a quote and you'll be able to choose the best option for you.

This idea I call it surrender to my own mediocrity. I said, do you want to be a person who finished this book that nobody liked, that nobody published, that sits in your drawer?

Coming up on the Jordan Harbanger show. This idea I call it surrender to my own mediocrity. I said, do you want to be a person who finished this book that nobody liked, that nobody published, that sits in your drawer for the rest of your life?

Or do you want to be the person who never finished the novel? She said she was going to write, who always said, yeah, I'm still working on it.

And as painful as that first thing is to write a novel that nobody likes and sits in a drawer all the rest of my life, I would so much rather be the person who did the work she said she was going to do.

Then the person who didn't because she was afraid and insecure and didn't want to have to face the idea of failure.

Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating people.

If you're new to the show, we have in-depth conversations with people at the top of their game. Astronauts and entrepreneurs, spies and psychologists, and even the occasional journalist turned poker champion.

The show turns our guests wisdom into practical advice that you can use to build a deeper understanding of how the world works and become a better critical thinker.

Today on the show, my friend Cheryl Strade, after some serious life trauma, Cheryl embarked on an 1100 mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, a saga first turned into a mega best-selling book called Wild and then into a movie.

This is actually chosen by Oprah as her first selection for Oprah's book club 2.0, so it's kind of a big deal. Kind of killed it out there.

She's a best-selling author, amazingly insightful advice giver. You know how keen we are on advice on the show.

Ella, third of our episodes are solely advice. Reese Witherspoon, Plader in a movie, that's kind of amazing.
