In in this weeks episode, Mike shares a back porch conversation he had with a former college fraternity brother from over 50 years ago. The general observation was that most people seek validation and confirmation for their current views from any source available. It seems that fewer people are open to discussion when listening to other people’s viewpoints may stimulate their own personal thinking and stance on any one topic. Take a listen to today’s episode and you’ll see exactly what Mike is talking about.

A second message today involves a recommendation Mike has been making for years. He simply reminds us that when someone pops into your head for no apparent reason, it is the perfect time to reinforce that connection ASAP. This once again happened to him this week, and he is sure that you know exactly what he’s talking about.
