In the first segment of this episode, we’re going to take look at the media, or infotainment industry, and how they manipulate us to stay in business.  We outline the most common methods they use to feed us misinformation to keep us tuned-in — how we can spot it, and defend ourselves against it.  (Our source for this material is an excellent and informative video by Beau of the Fifth Column.  See the link below.)

In the second second segment, we continue our exploration of leadership by diving into Chapter 2 of Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Lief Babin:  No Bad Teams, Only Bad Leaders.

This week Washington has continued its disingenuous and saturnine magic show.  That club-fisted sleight-of-hand that answers, “what are you doing?” with, “Me??  Hey, look over there!  A Unicorn!”  Sadly, many, many Americans are still falling for it.  You know, there’s a saying in the recovery community.  It goes like this:  “What’s the definition of insanity?  Continuing to do the same old thing, and expecting different results.”

Charlie Brown, knowing that Lucy has tricked him every time, gives it one more shot.  And devious Lucy, as we all know that she will, pulls the football away, and Charlie, yet again, winds up flat on his back.  Will he never learn?  Probably not.

In the first segment of the show, we’ll try to introduce a little sanity into this weeks news.  Instead of being tricked into kicking for the football again, let’s kick Lucy!

In the second second segment of this week’s podcast, we’ll begin our explorations of Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Lief Babin.
