There's a wonderful expression that says,

the person who won't read is many better off

and the person who the day show.

I'm your host, Sean Croxton, at Sean Croxton.

We got a brand new speaker on the show today.

Her name is Dr. Sheila Murray Bethel. She's going to share a story

of how going the extra mile can open up the door to opportunity. She's also going to talk about

the benefits of being a lifelong learner. Dr. Sheethe Murray Bethel is coming up.

How many of you have ever ridden with what I would call a professional taxi cab driver?

Have you?

I'll tell you, in my city where I live, San Francisco, everything is built up.

As you probably know, there's no real estate, nothing is built out.

It's built up. And you probably know, there's no real estate. Nothing is built out. It's built up.

And our front door is 56 steps from the street. The bad news is when I call a taxi cab driver to take me out to the airport to go off and speak or whatever, they drive up, they see those steps. they're not coming up, those 56 steps.

They pull up in the driveway downstairs and they just honk the horn.

And I have to drag my bags down.

I got up early one morning I was going across the country, early flight.

I called and they said, well, Cab will be there in a few minutes.

It wasn't just a few minutes. It was instantaneous. Bam, the front door bell rang and I said to Bill, I said, well, Cab will be there in a few minutes. It wasn't just a few minutes. It was instantaneous. Bam, the front door bell rang. And I said to Bill, I said, honey, who could be here so fast? Where heaven's sakes it's so early? And I went to the top of those 56 steps. I opened the front door. There was a man standing there. I was shocked to see anybody. And let me tell you what he looked like.

Gentlemen, do you remember when there was a time that you used to like to wear what we called polyester leisure suits?

Green.

Big fat, wide tie, too short, couldn't tuck in his trousers.
