Whether it's the holidays or all year long, giving matters. Tim and Steve share a short quote from St Francis of Assisi: "It is in giving that we receive."

Life runs on patterns โ€” and the faster you learn to spot them, the faster you grow. Tim and Steve break down how recognizing patterns in your career, relationships, and personal habits becomes a superpower.

Just like AI and in martial arts, once you read the rhythm, you can adapt, respond, and win. Pattern recognition isn't just awareness โ€” it's the key to living smarter, stronger, and more intentionally.

"Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love, and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either." โ€” Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis
