Summary
On this week’s episode, we answer a fun question from a listener: Would you rather win the lottery or live twice as long?
As history has shown us, winning the lottery can be life changing…but not always in a great way.
• This is something I think we all have fantasized about.
• I think we all have a purpose and I’ve asked myself the question…
• Would I continue to write if I didn’t have the pressure?
How many times in my life am I not aware of what is going to happen next week?
• You can sometimes get a little fearful looking ahead, but…
• Don’t expect to know what is coming.
• Allow God to direct our path.
Look back and think about times in your life in which you know your path was being directed.
Question: If you could have a five-minute phone call with your 18-year-old self, what would you tell yourself to be aware of?

| 0:30.9 | Andy, thanks for having me, and I'm excited about this. We're actually going to start with kind of a |
| 0:34.7 | funny little question. We get tons of questions from people all over the place. |
| 0:39.3 | We sift through them. |
| 0:40.3 | We decide which ones are going to, you know, take up your time and worth... |
| 0:46.5 | You decide which ones are going to be hard for me, don't you? |

| 1:08.6 | Would you rather win the lottery? |
| 1:11.5 | And I'm assuming, this is pertinent, I guess, because a few weeks ago there was, what, the second biggest jackpot ever, 600 and some odd million, and I think two people won it. |
