All right, my friends, as you know, during the month of November, we are showering you with gratitude and Thanksgiving for all that you've provided us.

We create these podcasts as a way of bringing outstanding men and women and their outstanding stories into a community that I think is sometimes frequently covered in fog and darkness and the struggles of the day,

and then we hear their stories.

And we are reminded of the limitless possibility within our own stories.

But if no one was listening, this would be a wasted activity.

The very fact, though, that we've had significantly more than a million download speaks

to the fact that you are listening, that you are receiving, and that you are acting on our podcast, on this information, on the ideas put forward by our guest.

From this heart then of gratitude for you, I wanted to take these Mondays to just slow down for a moment and to answer your question.

So the second question this

month comes from Florida, from a community member named Troy. Troy, welcome, and we're thrilled that

you're part of our community, part of our family. Troy shared that he likes to binge, listen to a few

episodes at a time, and that his favorite part as always, and Troy, we've heard this one before,

our live-inspired seven that are asked at the end of each and every episode. His main takeaway

from the show is that life is an adventure and it is always worth living to the fullest. I think

that is so awesome and a truly terrific takeaway. So, Troy, thanks for hearing that.

Thanks for living that.

And now to Troy's question.

John, do you ever talk to a guest that listeners have recommended?

Troy, that is an awesome question.

Maybe the better way to reframe it is, John, do you ever talk to a guest that listeners have not recommended?

Because so many of our guests have come directly from you.

As you know, on almost every live-inspired podcast, I invite you to email me at info at john o'Learyinspires.com feedback or to complete a survey or to suggest other guests that we ought to have on.
