EPISODE 59) Emily Brooks has left on her pre-maternity leave. Guest Host Stephanie L. Jones ("The Giving Gal") joins Jon Meyers to discuss a few reasons why you should consider: There is no such thing as coincidence. How's that for a bold statement?

On a previous episode, Misty L. Butler talked about flipping obstacles into motivators. In this episode, Stephanie L Jones brought up an article by James Clear with a similar position: https://jamesclear.com/futsal It's called: Constraints Make You Better: Why the Right Limitations Boost Performance
