Summary
Listen to episode 764 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Dare to do Mighty Things | Motivational Podcasts. Edited from a speech by Theodore Roosevelt.
Motivational Podcast Excerpt: Although you may have leisure, it is not to be spent in idleness — for wisely-used leisure means merely that those who possess it (being free from the necessity of working for their livelihood) are all the more bound to carry on some kind of noble work in the sciences, the arts, in exploration of some kind — work of the type the world most needs, and the successful carrying out of which reflects great honor upon themselves and helps or inspires others.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is David. Have you thought about starting a retail business? When you think about |
| 0:06.0 | businesses like Magic Spoon and Mattel, who sell through the roof, you probably attribute |
| 0:12.2 | their success to great products and a strong brand. But an often overlooked secret is actually |

| 0:23.4 | For millions of retail businesses, that business is Shopify. |

| 0:40.3 | your customers are a scrolling or strolling, on the web, in your store, in their feed, and everywhere |
| 0:48.7 | in between. Upgrade your business and get the same checkout that Magic Spoon and Mattel use. |

| 1:57.2 | toil and effort, of labor and strife, to preach the highest form of success which |
| 2:04.5 | comes to the individual who shrinks not from danger, from hardship, nor from bitter toil, |
| 2:12.7 | and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph. A life of ignoble ease. A life of that |
| 2:21.9 | peace which springs merely from lack of desire or power to strive after great things is as |
| 2:29.0 | little worthy of a nation as of an individual. I ask only that what every self-respecting citizen demands from themselves and their children |
