 Ron talks about how he has been going with his technicians on service calls this past week and meeting a lot of interesting people. The majority of them were retired and some were retired military and had lived a good life with a lot of wisdom. The point is you never know who you are going to run into on a weekly basis that could influence you. You should always be searching for mentorship and people that can help you in a positive way as you try to reach your goals in life. Also he talks about the implant revolution. A new hope for addiction. 

 There are 4 categories of fighting we all do in life. Psychological, Financial, Emotional, and Physical. Most people are afraid to be uncomfortable and they put things off or don't address them at all. Don't make excuses, hit everything head on and learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. 

 Ron was talking to his friends at the gym, and they were all going through different types of challenges. And they were all in a good mood! You know why? They were all working out! We all go through challenges all the time and the key is knowing how or figuring out how to manage them. Also Ron brings up that working out treats depression sometimes better than pills.

He explains that some people would be intimidated by this but because he works out, does Jiu Jitsu, and has a lot of confidence he was not. Also Brent talks about a Chinese Auto Manufacturer that has developed a voice activated toilet that is built into the car under the passenger front seat. 

 It does not matter if your rich, poor, or healthy things are going to happen that upset or challenge you so you have to find ways to manage them and work through it. Come up with contingency plans to prepare for worst case scenarios and plans to pivot and keep moving forward. Ron talks about Stacy Ledbetter on Britains Got Talent and how you cannot judge a book by its cover. 

 Focus on self-improvement and self-respect and take pride in yourself when you accomplish something. Give up your bad habits and learn to have more control of your destiny. Even if you are uncomfortable, dont use being sick as an example as an excuse to quit or stop working towards your goals. 

 Ron did a Jiu Jitsu tournament this past weekend and was entered into a bracket with competitors much younger than he was. However he went into it with confidence and enjoyed the competition, but got his butt whipped! He said that younger people were encouraged by what he did.
