To force yourself into the lessons that only time can tell can be difficult.

If somebody has a chronic illness and they've had it for five years,

that can be difficult for people around them to know how to speak,

but there's something about meeting somebody else who's been through that too where time has done the work in both of them. Welcome to the one you feed. Throughout time great thinkers have recognized the

importance of the thoughts we have. Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or

you are what you think, ring true.

And yet, for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us.

We tend toward negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do.

We think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about

thinking, our actions matter. It takes conscious consistent and

creative effort to make a life worth living. This podcast is about how other people keep

themselves moving in the right direction, how they feed their good wolf. My name is Chris Moody, host of the new podcast Finding Matt Drudge. I'll be taking you on a journey to find the mysterious

Media mogul Matt Drudge, founder of the Drudge Report. Along the way I'll talk to people who have worked with

him, dined with him, and fought with him, taking listeners into private conversations, all in an attempt to get a better understanding of who Drudge is and what motivates him.

Hopefully he'll even sit down with us.

Listen to Finding Matt Drudge on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast,

or wherever you get your podcasts.
