You're listening to In the Loop with Andy Andrews, a unique opportunity to see life from a different perspective with New York Times bestselling author, Andy Andrews.

Now here's your host, Andy Trobb.

Well, hello, everyone.

Welcome to another episode of In The Loop with Andy Andrews, where we apply life's principles to

have a joyful life, happier life, more successful life, or just deal with all the junk

that life throws at us. So we're going to talk about one of those principles that Andy has

put into action that you learned a long time ago. And Andy, I'm excited to talk about this one.

Hey, I'm really excited about this show.

Yeah.

Well, it is the holiday season.

We're going to be around a lot of people for Thanksgiving and Christmas and so and so forth,

you know, maybe the office party.

And I thought it would be a great time for us to talk about the power of a smile.

I don't know if that's the way that you phrased it, but from my reading and just following

you on Facebook and reading your books, that's sort of the principle that I pulled from.

Is that an accurate name for?

Yeah, it is huge. And it is, this is. the principle that I pulled from me. Is that an accurate name for?

Yeah, it is huge and it is, this is a skill.

And, you know, and I'm not necessarily talking always about smiling, but smiling while you're talking is a huge skill.

You know, it's not a talent, you know, like Josh Grobin's voice. That's a talent. By the way, Josh Grobin can carry a tune. I can carry a tune. But it's two totally different sounds coming out of our voice, out of our mouth. You know, because what he has is a talent. That's a gift. Now, juggling is a skill. You don't know how to juggle?

If you have the physical ability to toss a tennis ball from one hand to the other and actually catch it, I can teach you to juggle in 10 minutes.

You won't be good at it, but you'll understand the process and you practice for a week, you'll be pretty good.
