That would be like shortening gravity or water. We're all given the same materia...

When Marci was 16 years old, she star...
Dec 24, 2019•42 min•Transcript available on Metacast No religion, no capitalism. That’s the focus of this week’s must-listen episode. I’ve never been afraid to talk about controversial subjects like religion, politics, or money. Change and growth come from doing the difficult stuff rather than going along with the crowd or playing it safe. To me, crowds are dangerous. Whenever there’s a big group heading in one direction, I move the opposite way. Lemmings plunge off cliffs. Never jump into a boxcar without asking a lot of questions first. Know wha...
