Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is a big thing, and your mind is a big thing. There ought to be nothing mean or small in your thoughts. Your imagination is bounded only by the measureless space of the universe. After all, you can comprehend the heavens stretching away to the uttermost bounds of the horizon, can’t you?

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
