Summary

When you go to Disneyland or Disney World, something happens in the parking lot when you get there and when you leave that is worth paying attention to. Listen as I explain a little secret that Walt Disney knew and you can use in your life as well. Source: Tom Peters author of The Little Big Things https://amzn.to/4cmUMaZ You have heard about the chemistry of love and today you will hear about the biology of love. The fact is our desire for love is driven by biology and how that biology works (and sometimes doesn’t) is fascinating according to my guest Dr. Liat Yakir. She is a biologist specializing in genetics and science communication and speaks frequently on the topics of the biology of human emotions. She is author of the book, A Brief History of Love: What Attracts Us, How We Fall in Love and Why Biology Screws it All Up (https://amzn.to/3vkyiqn). Listen as she explains all this and offers a prescription for a successful relationship you may not have heard before.  It is possible to keep more of your money... if you just ask. You can ask to have fees waived; you can ask for a better deal – there are all sorts of ways to save money. Here to explain how why and where to do it Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree who has written for Bankrate, Business Insider, CBS MoneyWatch, and USNews.com. Matt is author of the book, Ask Questions, Save Money, Make More: How to Take Control of Your Financial Life (https://amzn.to/4a1xIgt) There is something about going barefoot that many of us enjoy. However, there are others who insist it is a horrible idea. Humans have worn shoes for 40,000 and perhaps for good reason. Listen as we explore the pros and cons of walking barefoot through the life. https://time.com/6284245/walking-barefoot-health-risks/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
