that's yourmove.is slash give. Thanks for your support and now here's this week's podcast.

Quick question to get started and I know the answer is yes, but just kind of get our head to the game a little bit.

Have you ever been invited to something and you said no and then you regretted it later like what?

Who showed up? They did what? They won? What you had front row? It's like oh my goodness, I just missed out because I just should have gone,

but you were busy or you had something kind of a lame excuse or you were excited.

Then afterwards it's like if I could just turn back time, you feel like in some ways you missed not the opportunity of a lifetime,

but maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity. Then the other side is have you ever been invited to something and at the time it just felt like more of an obligation than an opportunity,

but because of who invited you and your husband is like come on or your wife or your kids is like I don't want to go, but you went anyway and then something so amazing happened.

Every once in a while when you think back to that moment or that event or whatever it was you think oh my goodness, what if I hadn't gone?

You were just so close to missing out on something kind of epic.

I think we've all to some degree and other had those experiences.

The big one for me that all that builds up to is when I was in my late 20s, I'm a friend of mine who's actually here today,

Gary invited me to do an event or to show up at an event and participate in event down at Georgia Tech, down at downtown Atlanta for those if you're not from the area.

And as a Monday night and I had something on Monday night, in fact I had something every Monday night, I met in a home with some high school students to do a thing.

So I told him no, I can't go.

So sometime later weeks or month later he asked me again and I'm like no, I still can't go. I have something every single Monday night.

And then third time it's like Andy wants you come participate in this thing and I'm like Gary, I have something I can't ever come to your thing.
