In this episode, O talks about how amazingly fast our brains work and how we need to understand what it's doing so ...

O goes on a bit of a rant regarding how we can make the world a better place.  It seems now more than ever, and ever since the dawn of time, people are not happy with the state of affairs in the world. O lays out the the very few things that we each can do to improve the world and they are pretty stinking simple. And they all involve just working on ourselves, which is the one absolute we can control.

James has a new album out and an upcoming special premiering June 3rd on You Tube called "The Check Spot".  To James it was never a "dream" it was just what he knew he had to do.

O uses Janis Joplin as our inspiration, noting that you do not have to be perfect to be extraordinary.  Janis Joplin was one of the best at what she did and she worked extremely hard to get where she got. She was the epitome of work hard, play hard and sadly left us too soon.  But what she accomplished in such a short career was inspirational.  She was an imperfect person yet had a profound impact on the music world.  Do not be int...
