My daughter and her friends use them at school to tell each others’ fortunes. My son came home from pre-school with one as well. And it got me thinking: “What if I used a paper fortune teller to help me choose my next project?” So I did. And the results were exactly what I hoped they would be.
Back in my Costco days, I used to have to “ten key” regularly. I was the sales auditor for a short time period, which meant I had to enter a lot of numbers all day long.

This week Patrick Rhone makes his third appearances on the podcast. This time around we talk about our disinterest in new year’s resolutions and what we prefer to focus on instead. We also touch on how time and money can be treated in ways that are eerily similar and we finally get around to what we wanted to discuss – the importance of saying ‘no’ even when you’re people pleasers like we are.
