Summary
Listen to episode 849 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Build a Real Heroic Life | Motivational Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Work by Hugh Black.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life, after all, is largely a matter of detail. It is filled up to all of us with its routine of small duties and usual tasks and trivial acts. An hour is made up of moments; a day is made up of hours; life is made up of days. The number of our days is the extent of our life; and the character of our days is the character of our life.

| 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 |
| 0:18.0 | the business behind the business, the one which makes selling and buying simple. |
| 0:23.4 | For millions of retail businesses, that business is Shopify. |
| 0:29.6 | Nobody does selling better than Shopify, because no checkout system is better at converting |
| 0:35.8 | shoppers into buyers. With Shopify, you can sell wherever |
| 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. |

| 1:58.0 | If there were not more than this in our lives, nobler thoughts and larger endeavors, |
| 2:03.6 | society could not have existed for so long. No individual can be wholly paid in money for their |
| 2:12.6 | work, if it be true work. We cannot buy love, nor pay for it, and without love and all its |
