Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson show, delighted to have you with me.

Blue skies, I hope, wherever you are. The phone number is 877-9-7-9-7-9-37-47-4-25. I want to begin with the bubble.

The bubble.

Because there are things said inside and outside people's bubbles.

We all live in bubbles, don't we?

Everyone has a bubble they're in.

You know, today, you get to self-select and curate your own bubble.

You get to form your own bubble.

No, bubbles aren't necessarily a bad thing.

When you, I am learning as my career takes off to some degree I have to be

sheltered inside of a bubble to a degree and let others run interference for me on things

that sometimes you shouldn't be as accessible as you've been. I am notorious for giving listeners my cell phone number.

People around me really don't like that.

Everybody gets in a bubble.

You get to pick your Facebook friends.

Doesn't have to be your next door neighbor.

It doesn't have to be the person across the street.

It doesn't even have to be your family.

It can be the people you want and so we all get into bubbles every single one of us get in a bubble

the question however becomes once inside our bubble how much do we allow in from outside the bubble?

I get asked all the time when I'm doing show prep.

What do I read?
