Summary
I woke up this morning and felt like I've been overly optimistic in my tone recently. I genuinely feel optimistic, but that's not because I don't think the situation is very dire. It is. In today's show, I try to share with you why I feel optimistic but I seek to give you a stern warning not to let my optimism lead to your inaction.
