Summary

Most refrigerators come with a light inside. It goes on when you open the door. It’s very helpful. So why doesn’t the freezer have a light too? This episode begins with the interesting explanation. https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2012/07/why-is-there-a-light-in-the-refrigerator-and-not-the-freezer/  Have you ever heard someone say they have no regrets? They’re lying. We all have regrets and the pain they cause is all too real. However, the pain of regret can be extremely helpful in making course correction as you move forward. If you have some lingering regrets, listen to my guest - bestselling author Daniel Pink. He has explored the world of regret, and he joins me to explain the different kinds of regrets we all feel and what those regrets are telling you. Daniel is author of the book The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward (https://amzn.to/33HJhfY). When someone comes up with an amazingly brilliant idea, chances are that person came up with a lot of little ideas first. That’s just one of the interesting insights you'll hear from my guest Anthony Fredricks, a nationally recognized educator and author of the book, From Fizzle to Sizzle: The Hidden Forces Crushing Your Creativity and How You Can Overcome Them (https://amzn.to/3u0AMY8). Listen as he explains how great ideas originate and how we are all a lot more creative than we probably think. On the topic of poultry (chicken or turkey), if you randomly ask people – “White meat or dark meat?” – most people prefer white meat. At least that is true in the U.S. Listen as I explain the reason why and reveal why you might want to give dark meat another try. http://www.slate.com/articles/life/food/2011/01/the_dark_side_of_the_bird.html Learn more about your ad choices.
