You Think You Got Superpowers - Inspector Gadget 271

What if you could have any superpower you wanted, but it came with one ridiculous limitation?

Brian and Dr. Michelle take on flying, teleportation, invisibility, mind reading, healing, Spider-Man, Superman, the Wonder Twins and a few powers that probably shouldn’t exist.

This one gets silly, and that’s the point. Life doesn’t always need to be taken so seriously.

Pick your superpower. Then decide: What’s the catch?

We’re great at telling other people what they should do. Then the same problem shows up in our own lives and suddenly that brilliant advice gets a lot harder to follow.

In Episode 270, we talk Oreos, Dr. Pepper, relationships, business, guilty pleasures and what happens when “do as I say, not as I do” catches up with us.

When you’re stuck, try asking yourself: What would I tell someone else to do?

Watch the full episode, then tell us: What advice do you give other people that you need to follow yourself?

Certainty or Growth, Chose One - You May Be Wrong But You May Be Right 269

When was the last time you questioned yourself? If you're certain about things in your life, you're not asking questions and growing. Maybe it's time to grow!#denimandpearlslive #michellemras #brianswanson #podcast #keynotespeaker #tgoodintentions #certainty #youmaybewrongor mayberight #ep269

You’ll never know.

Who smiled because they remembered you.
Who needed the kindness you gave them.
Who felt better just because you walked into the room.
Or who defended you when you weren’t there.

We affect people every single day—usually without ever knowing it.

So the question might not be, “Did I make a difference?”

Maybe it’s…

“What kind of difference did I make?”

You’re already leaving a legacy. The question is… what will it be?

It’s not just money.

It’s the stories you tell. The traditions you keep. The time you give. The things your kids remember—and maybe the sound of your voice long after you’re gone.

This week on Denim & Pearls, we’re talking about the little things we do today that may mean everything tomorrow.

What do you want people to remember about you?

Indifference 264

It's one of those days, isn't it! Between partners (business or otherwise) sometimes we end up on the same mood. Sometimes it's both on a go get 'em high, other times it's about apathy.
