What's up, ladies and gentlemen. This is your host as always, Brian Lubin, coming to wish you a happy, happy Thanksgiving.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. I hope you guys are having or are about to have a fantastic day.

When it comes to family, Thanksgiving is either the cream of the crop and the peak of the mountain or it is something that you have to kind

Friends are the family that you choose. So today I want to talk about a gratitude practice that I do

people that you talk to on a monthly basis, people that are close to you in your life, mentors, family

members, friends, people that you text often, then the next 25 people are going to be acquaintances.

Maybe these are mentors. Maybe these are old friends that you haven't spoken to in a while.
