It has always been important to me that my morning routine involve something outside of my area of expertise. I bounce back and forth between audio books, podcasts, research studies, etc. Most recently, I have been listening to the Joe Rogan podcast. I was first introduced to Joe about 20 years ago when my older brother had me listen to one of his stand up comedy albums. I laughed until I cried.

I came across a couple of motivational videos last week on Youtube I have listened to several times and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a boost of motivation before they start their day. My favorite one so far is the one below.

I am also listening to Jordan Peterson who I was not familiar with until I heard him on Joe’s podcast.

Powerful stuff.

“The monetary point system that gets you working 12 hours a day, 13 hours a day. And for what? To get more stuff. To get better stuff. To get more prestigious stuff, and to get stuff that all your other stuff havin’ friends will be really jealous of your stuff.”
