What Justin Loeber says about Communication, "it's practically the be-all and end-all of everything we do in life. If you think about it, people get all tied up in a bad pass or an email and it's not real. If you talk to the person, all of the nuances that you think were negative could actually be positive because when you talk with people, you actually hear the tone and the passion in which that person is communicating with you. If you're caught in a text, if you have a text that's more than five words, you better pick up the phone and talk to a person because it's horrible. Nowadays. People break up with others on texts. How helpless is that? How weak is that, Bob? " The book is called "Get Out Of Your Own Way Guide To Life"

Talked about Social Entrepreneurship and Recycling with Brian Tippetts. First of all, most of us don’t think about making money when looking at a recycled product, the product is clearly a resource that has value. Just look at and you just innately know that. And when you find out nobody's doing stuff with it it's like that's wrong and you look at the option as landfilling it that's really wrong it's just it just strikes you as wrong.

Before waste was looked at as a waste, now there's a mindset shift that waste really is a low value or overlooked resource. If you waste it that's exactly what you've done you've wasted it. And should you be wasting it.

The mindset of not wasting things, but creating things with Social Entrepreneurship and Recycling.
