Brian Martin's appreciation of life is infectious! In this uplifting episode, Brian helps us unpack how gratitude can bring us into the present to notice all the good. Brian also shares his perspective on one of my favorite Brother David Steindl-Rast quotes, "if you learn to respond as if it were the first day of your life, and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well." 

Plus tons of shoutouts: Tim Ferriss, Sarah Silverman, Josh Tovar, Mrs. Vecchio, Amy (his amazing wife), and more!
