Episode notes

I really do believe humans are mostly magic, and that we're more likely to be the fullest extent of our magic if other people see us that way first. And i've certainly learned that when see people for their potential and their possibilities, that they seem to live up to that more quickly than when they interact with others. So it just feels like this tax, it's like a single digit percentage tax that is a small price to pay forgetting all the upside that comes from looking at people as the great things that they are and the possibilities that they have in front of them.
