Welcome to Your World Within Daily.

I'm Eddie Panero, and in this episode, I want to talk about some advice from a photographer

on the importance of what she calls hibernation, stepping away from your craft, stopping,

essentially, so that you can see it from a different perspective, so that you can reacquire your

inspiration, ask yourself the tough questions and come back

more energized than you've ever been. So I talk a lot about the carryover between sports, the arts, business.

There are some very important parallels there that if you understand in one arena, you

understand everywhere.

You know, that's why, you know,

I can make the argument all day. People ask, and someone asked on a podcast I was on last night,

is college a good investment in 2020. And I'm like, I don't know the answer to that. I think there are no one size fits all. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't change a thing.

And one of the reasons for that is because when I was in school, I was on the crew team, and I was a D-1 athlete, and I learned things there that I don't know if I'd be able to acquire in other aspects of life.

I mean, I imagine I would and I hope that I would, but they were sort of the building blocks for everything.

So for me, it's invaluable, you know.

And when I was talking to my buddies, Zach and Morgan about this book. I started flipping through it and opened right

to a page where there was a little paragraph. I'm like, oh my God, that's it right there. Everyone can

learn from that. And the idea is it's by aperture who makes the light that's shining on my face right now. And basically, every page is a little

bit of a tidbit from a different photographer on something that helped them. And so I wanted to

read you this one in particular by Andrea Parlato. I think I'm pronouncing that, right?

And the idea is hibernation.

And it's a couple sentences.

I'm just going to read it straight from the book.
