Speaker 2: chair of the Federal Reserve, but he says he's in

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: no hurry to make an announcement. He does tell reporters

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: that current chair Jay Powell should resign, and he says

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,400

Speaker 2: around its AI investment. Manus sells its AI agent to

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: businesses through subscriptions, and this could all give Meta a

Speaker 5: I love the holiday seasons. Everyone so happy, Yeah, generous

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 5: and kind. It's a good time of year.

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: And then New Year's happens and we've got to build

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: healthy habits to stick to in the New Years, stuff

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: like getting off the couch and walking to the refrigerator.

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Is that we may get more walking in Is that

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: what you meant?

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: Well?

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 5: No, and that's funny when you brought it up, you

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 5: went from happy to stay there good.

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Oh.

40
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 5: I think that's what's so negative about New Year's resolutions.

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 5: Everyone goes, well, I'm a problem to be sick.

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: You are not a problem to be sick.

43
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: Oh, I am h What do you so? Everybody's happy,

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: they're eating whatever they want. The clock strikes midnight and

45
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: now you're on a diet. Is that what happens?

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I think People start thinking about and

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 5: they don't realize first of all that you're already outrageously wonderful.

48
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: And try to start from there.

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 5: And I think New Year's resolutions shouldn't always be around

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 5: just dieting and exercise, like you're not a number on

51
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: a scale, nor are you the number of calories you

52
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 5: eat in a day.

53
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: I think that.

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: If you take a sort of a different approach to

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 5: New Year's resolutions and think about.

56
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 4: What do I wish for?

57
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 5: I mean, Steve, what do you wish for for yourself?

58
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: I want to be six feet four and one hundred

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: and seventy pounds. Neither one of those are going to happen.

60
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 5: No, that would not be the riding of oh, I'm.

61
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: Sorry, what well New Year's resolutions. The statistics tell us

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: in the first month up to about forty three percent

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: of the people kick quit even by mid January, and

64
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: then some people go a couple of months, but nobody

65
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: goes for the whole year. How do we build these

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: healthy habits and stick to them this year?

67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: Well, just really start with the fact that you know

68
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 5: this is not you're not transforming yourself, you're already Start

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 5: with the fact that you've got some beautiful habits already

70
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 5: built into your life and realize that you just need

71
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: some more courage, discipline, and a little bit.

72
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: Of great Okay, So what you.

73
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: Know, if it is maybe takes several forms of healthy.

74
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 5: You're not just looking for physically healthy change, but intellectually

75
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 5: healthy changes, socially healthy changes, emotionally, so.

76
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: You're a whole person.

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 5: So I don't like when people totally focus on diet

78
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 5: and exercise. I mean, what else is there out there?

79
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 5: So we'll hone in on exercise and first and diet.

80
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 4: So what can you add that really is important to you?

81
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 5: Like, is it really something really really small, like go

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 5: for a walk starting start today? Why do you have

83
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 5: to wait for January first? It's not like you're a

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: new person on January the first. You're the same person

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 5: you always were, but just someone who is hopeful for

86
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: a fresh start or looking for something new to add

87
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 5: to their life that'll bring them both joy and also

88
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 5: it's a little scary. So think about that. So if

89
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 5: I were picking up a few more things that I

90
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 5: want to change in my own life to it might

91
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 5: be to clean up my diet just a little, to

92
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 5: take out one food that I you know, really.

93
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: Don't need and really small and then go for a walk.

94
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: But maybe it also involves.

95
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 5: Having other goals as well, like reading more or not

96
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: having an opinion on everything, or not spending so much

97
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 5: time on screens, and that will make room for other

98
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: things you want to do. And yeah, if it's fitness,

99
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: I've set a nice goal out there and realizing that

100
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 5: you're not going to be perfect. You have to give

101
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 5: yourself some grace. But the discipline, you know, it's going

102
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: to require discipline, courage, and grace.

103
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: So like when I was training for the Olympics, I.

104
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 5: Don't want people to get the idea that you know,

105
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: I jumped out of bed in the morning and can't

106
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 5: wait to go running and eat right, sleep well, and.

107
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: You know, be misperfect.

108
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: I just realized that I just.

109
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 5: Want to be healthier and it's really, really, really important

110
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 5: to me. So it wasn't when I'm going to or

111
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 5: if I'm going to run, it was when I'm going

112
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 5: to run. So it became part of me, something that

113
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 5: was really really valuable. Like, well, we can change it

114
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 5: to another topic like parenting. Every person who listens to

115
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 5: the show Who's a Parent wants to be a better parent.

116
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: It's just very.

117
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 5: Important to them. So it becomes part of you, just

118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 5: like exercise, just like sleep, just like eating right, it

119
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 5: becomes so valuable to you that it becomes something that

120
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 5: you begin to find joy with or you find ways

121
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 5: to make it happen. So you say no to other things,

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 5: Like no should be a really really important word in

123
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 5: your life this year, because if you say no to

124
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: less screen time, that means you're saying yes.

125
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: To a walk or a walk with your.

126
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 5: Spouse, or you're saying yes to a really good book,

127
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 5: or you're saying yes to doing one nice thing a

128
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: day for someone.

129
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: So you see where I'm going with this.

130
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've talked about walking several times, just walking around

131
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: the block or down the street. Is that a healthy habit? Yeah?

132
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: You know, I'm glad you brought that up, because see,

133
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 5: we want to complicate everything we want to you know,

134
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 5: it's sort of like we read the newest thing on

135
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 5: Instagram or Facebook and say, oh, I should be doing that. Well, no,

136
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 5: keep it simple. What if you did decide today you

137
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 5: were going to go start twenty minutes go for a

138
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: walk every morning, it was your time to think and

139
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: reflect or you know, think about the things that matter,

140
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: or you do it with a friend. It sounds so simple,

141
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 5: but that's the point. Those small things in life, the

142
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: small things in life. You'll turn out and look back

143
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 5: and realize that those were the big things. And it

144
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: is really about consistency. It's about showing up. And I

145
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: think the best part about New Year's resolutions is the

146
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 5: fact that you're starting again. And that's what matters. That

147
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 5: you always have the hope and the willingness and the

148
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 5: discipline and the courage and the grace.

149
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: To start again.

150
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 5: Because life gets messy and we're not perfect, thank goodness.

151
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: But if you have a you know how it goes.

152
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 5: Life is amazing and then life is awful, and then

153
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: life is amazing again.

154
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: And in between the amazing and the awful.

155
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: Is that normal?

156
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: Consistent?

157
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: I'm going to show up today.

158
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 5: I'm going to try again, and I'm hopeful that I

159
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 5: can be you know, just do these small consistent things
