Show Notes
Today’s episode dives into the crossover of safety, news, and work reality—from record-high new-car prices and what that means for the average monthly payment, to “bear jams” in Yellowstone during the shutdown, rare finds like an orange-and-black calico lobster, and the everyday decisions that shape how we lead and work. We also hit fast-moving headlines from around the globe, share a Motivation Minute, and talk honestly about how often work lives rent-free in our heads—and what to do about it.
What you’ll hear in Ep. 1221:
- Why new-car prices crossed a historic threshold and how buyers are stretching terms
- The safety side of national-park “bear jams” (and why staying in your car matters)
- A quick tour through global headlines and what they mean for risk, operations, and people
- The mindset shift leaders need to change workplaces (even when the credit goes elsewhere)
- Fun oddities: calico lobster, a stadium break-in over a soda, and birds vs. car paint
- Plus: community resources, sponsor spotlights, and your daily spark to keep moving forward
