David and Michelle take a tour back down recent memory lane with David's thyroid biopsy and how his faith in humanity was restored by some amazing people reaching out and for the crew who performed the surgery.  It's a love fest in here.  And, if you were one of those who reached out, David added a special shout of of everyone individually - listen beyond the outro music for your name!

David and Michelle explore the notion of whether it's worth sticking your hand into the bee's hive to retrieve the honey, knowing there's a possibility of getting stung.  Is it worth living in the moment and knowing it's fleeting and doomed versus never giving it a shot?  David seems to think he's got the answer.  

David and Michelle challenge the notions of coincidence and that the community of humanity is very small.  David supports this theory with a remarkable story of how he was sitting 2 seats over from his cousin's from New Jersey's friend and would have never known it were it not for her seeing him on facebook live. The world is smaller than we want to think.  In other news, it's David's birthday.  In further news, the word of the day is Gumption.  

Michelle and David drill down on the fact that sometimes it takes a bit to be reinforced positively for doing the right thing.  Paradoxically, doing the right thing for the purpose of reinforcement, is actually not doing the right thing!  But, like it today's story - sometimes the reinforcement fo doing the right thing is immediate.  David shares his story about taking the train en lieu of drinking and driving and the quirky adventure he had.  

David and Michelle speak out about how important Observation is and how so few people have that talent in this modern world of technology.  It's fallen off as we've removed ourselves from he survival of the fittest.  In cave man times, most of y'all would be dead.  And most of y'all have a tiny world you're living in because you don't observe.  

David and Michelle dive into some stoicism and buddhism.  David falls on his sword and asks for help on how to not react when it's only the ego to protect.  Michelle gives solid advice on an altercation that David had on the streets of San Francsico late at night.  

David and Michelle open the vault and go deeper than normal to inspire others to address their unfinished business.  David leaves us with some pretty heavy reveals in hopes that his openness and honesty will create a level of safety and trust to follow his lead.  

David and Michelle take a deep dive into the subject of gratitude.  So many struggle with even verbalizing it, let alone showing it - David shares a recent story where he went way beyond.  This is a must listen. 

David and Michelle go personal in an attempt to stimulate others to share their "bucket list".  While they share their top 5 dreams, they discuss the plans on how to convert them into memories.  Most of David's list are more "fuck it" list vs. "bucket" list as he feels time is running out and have the means to make it all happen.  Sidebar - who's going to visit us in Sedona?  

Michelle and David discuss the necessary elements of what makes a team successful in a partnership.  Strangely, the same elements that apply in business, apply across the board and can be translated into inter-personal relationships as well.  Given that most podcasts fail - specifically, 80% in the first year and most podcasters quit before they even reach 30 episodes, David and Michelle thought it would be appropriate to beat the collective chest of Red Kite Movement's Gift of the Day as true testimony to not only shared vision, but execution and commitment in the face of constant obstacles.
