I love celebrating big milestones here on the pod, so in honor of my 40th birthday tomorrow, I decided to do something a little different for today's solo episode.In lieu of a ā40 things Iāve learned in 40 years listicle,ā since I am only sure of less as time passes, I asked my husband Michael if he could think of four questions for me to answer. He threw in a bonus in the middle that nearly made me spit out my coffee :)
šĀ Michaelās Five Questions
In this new world full of daily disasters, how do you find the courage to be vulnerable?
Systems play a big role in freeing up your time. What is THE system you implemented that had the most significant positive impact on your life?
Do you still love Tim Ferriss more than me? Why or why not? (See also: Michaelās googley-eyed book signing interaction at SXSW)
What are you most looking forward to in this new decade of your life?
Who are the 3 people, dead or alive youād love to have on your podcasts?

Quote mentioned:"I've talked to nearly 30,000 people on this show, and all 30,000 had one thing in common: They all wanted validation. If I could reach through this television and sit on your sofa or sit on a stool in your kitchen right now, I would tell you that every single person you will ever meet shares that common desire. They want to know: 'Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?āā
