All right, welcome to another walk and talk. Here's the menu for today. Yeah, I'm the

guy who picks up garbage when I walk. I'm preamble. I know you by the company you keep, sticks

your own knitting, start with you, and when in a hole. Okay, so the preamble is, there

is a very interesting temptation. It's amazing how people drive so close to you when you walk

on the road. Safety first, that's why you walk toward traffic. So there's a temptation. You'll

notice that when people are observing the struggle of others, the immediacy is to judge and to

that the people who I've grown up with have actually helped me grow even to this very minute.

But that's not always the case. And sometimes people have to go if they're not helping you be where

you want to be and get to where you want to get. I'm not saying that it's all about ambition. I'm

saying it's about you are the company that you keep. It doesn't mean you can't be there for people,

but you do have to figure out how people fit into your life based on how you want to live it. Now,
