Andy, Zach and Megan continue the discussion about the most fundamental decision human beings make in life....do you make your decisions based in love or in fear. In this episode we look at how that decision shows up in people's lives in terms of behaviors, leadership styles and the consequences of the decisions. We use the analogy of a Warrior vs. Fighter and their subtle differences between the two to illustrate the points.

As we grow up in life, we develop fears due to the hurts, pain, drama we face in our upbringing as children. Every choice we make in our life, no matter how big or small, is steeped in either love or in fear. Andy and Zach explore this issue, how it stops us from living the life we desire for ourselves in our personal life as well as in our business life as leaders. The more that we can base our decisions in love, the more value we can generate in this world.

Andy, Zach and Megan explore the role of creativity in people's lives, why a lot of people claim to not be creative and how culture plays a big role in the creativity in a business or organization.
