Good evening, everybody. How y'all doing? Hope you're getting through the week. We're going to get through it together. We got a great show playing for you. As always, DMs wide open 24-7, 365. Any questions got to drop them in there for us and past episodes of the show over at we are channelcue.com. I'm going to open the show talking a little bit about critical thinking, bum, bum, bum.

It really, there's a large absence of it these days.

For those that aren't familiar with the term, it's basically just meaning thinking deeper,

into that. But I think what I did want to talk about is just looking at these things that we've

accepted into our lives that play a huge role in our lives, the amount of time we spend with them.

That's kind of the way I want to look at it with them. Yes, you spend time on the apps, but you're really spending time with them. So I want to say it like that, because much like anything you spend

a lot of time with, a friend, a location, a community, it's going to have an impact on your own
