David, interview for you about the importance of paying attention, which is one of the most important things you can talk about.

Paul Angoni wrote a book about it, and I hadn't talked to him before.

So you're going to hear that interview next just a bit from his bio. He's one of the nation's leading voices to and for the millennial generation.

He's the best-selling author of two books, sought after national speaker and organizational consultant who specializes in helping companies attract, retain, and develop millennials.

So he's been doing that. He's got a master's and organizational leadership. He's created a cutting-edge process to help organizations called Millennial Mapping.

He's a media spokesperson on millennials, and he's also the creator of allgrownup.com.

And grown is GR-O-A in allgrownup.com, which has been read by millions of millennials in 190 countries.

You can check him out at that website, Paul Angoni.

And I'm like, I got to do something differently in my own life.

Yeah. And that's really where this book started. I just felt like I was losing my ability to pay attention to what I said was important.

And yet I spent so little time paying attention to those things, and so much time paying attention to everything that I think is frivolous,

or I think is a waste of time, or all these things. I felt like I was losing control of my own attention.

You know, it was almost like someone that can't control eating desserts or can't stop drinking.

It felt like it was a real addiction. Yeah.
