Michelle and David point out that creativity dies after the passion fades.  If you don't have passion, you cannot fake it and your creativity is reflective.  So, you have to ask yourself, when the well of creativity runs dry, is it because of a lack of passion.  Chances are, the answer is "yes".  

Michelle and David go deep using the analogy of war and battlefields in relation to understanding the strength of your team.  The bond you have with others is only hearsay until it's battle tested.  You don't want to find out that you made poor choices while engaged in a contest.  We've all done it, the question is, how do you avoid it in the future?

David and Michelle dig up an old bone and share what could be the analogy of the year.  On the day dedicated to "inspiration" it's flying freely in this episode.  The idea of proclaiming to be a "healer" and an "empath" in public but behind the scenes ridiculing someone for being extraordinarily charitable "to a fault" goes beyond hypocrisy, it's terrifying and telling.  On the flip side, it opens the listeners to a challenge of staying true to what they know is the right thing in the face of opposing influence.  David reminds us that the loudest voice should be the one in your head.

David and Michelle discuss the difference of impact between the large and small things.  Often, it's the smaller things that have the bigger impact.  With Valentine's Day a month away, it would be wise to re-examine your plans and perhaps put the trip to Paris on hold in exchange for heartfelt little surprises.  

Michelle and David drill down on 5 little words that can change anyone's biochemistry.  Earning those words is an art form and very few humans these days are in pursuit.  Michelle offers up one of David's guided meditations for free to the listeners, all you need to do is email a request to David.  

David and Michelle bring up the most obvious solution to the true global pandemic of misinformation - seeking out the wise and vetting sources.  Big media and the internet are not reliable sources of truth and knowledge.  Why does Hollywood get to submit opinions on things they have no clue nor expertise on?  The answer is; because the average person is an idiot.
