Summary

Do you prefer fresh or frozen fish? Most people would likely choose fresh – but the topic is a bit more complicated than choosing one or the other. A lot of times what you think of as “fresh” fish was once frozen. To start this episode, I unravel the discussion about whether fresh fish is really better – or not. https://www.thespruceeats.com/frozen-fish-better-than-fresh-fish-1300625 What if you could solve problems before they actually happen? That’s why you change the oil in your car. Doing so, solves problems before they occur. And there are lots of other problems in life we could prevent or solve sooner – if we looked at things a bit differently. That’s according to Dan Heath author of the book Upstream: The Quest to Solve Problems Before They Happen (https://amzn.to/3atB1Os). Listen as he explains this interesting method of problem solving that I am sure you will find helpful. Being anxious doesn’t usually feel good. Most people would likely agree that anxiety is something to avoid. In fact, some say anxiety is a threat to your health and well-being. However, there may be another way to look at anxiety, according to Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Hunter College, the City University of New York, and author of the book Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Good for You (Even Though It Feels Bad) (https://amzn.to/3A96NQM). Listen as she explains how to harness and use your anxiety to help propel you to success in whatever is important to you. Airline passengers frequently have items confiscated because those things are not allowed to be carried on the plane. So, what happens to those pocket knives, snow globes, vintage wine, bottles of shampoo or whatever else is confiscated? Can people get them back if they want? Listen as I explain why some things get tossed, some get sold and some go back to their rightful owner. https://www.rd.com/article/return-confiscated-items-tsa/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
