    I really appreciated the points about how deceptively simple “Just Do” is, though of course when we worry about how we look to others, simple is not always easy. “There’s no downside” is a great way to see things, as is “you’re either gonna try it or not.” This is my first time visiting this site and I found this podcast really enjoyable and inspirational.
    Special kudos to Sam Mednick for asking great questions and even being a bit skeptical and practical. This made this more than just cheerleading, but instead some good advice to take action.
    I blog about productivity and leadership topics and feel like this one podcast gave me a whole bunch of ideas to think and write about. I invite anyone interested to check things out at https://www.thomasmstrong.com/blog .
