And now onto the full ad reads.

As always, no ads in the middle.

I try to make this interesting, but if you skip them, please still check out our sponsors.

I enjoy their stuff.

Maybe you will too.

This show is brought to you by Policy Genius, a marketplace for finding and buying insurance.

I often meditate on my mortality.

Every day when I wake up, I have a mantra, part of which I literally imagine the day before me being the last day I have on this earth.

And I think that's a really...

powerful way to clarify what matters.

And it's not about the career.

It's not even about maybe the people in your life.

It's about the way in which you interact with those people.

It's about the richness of feeling that you draw from every single moment you have with those people.

And even with the moments you have by yourself.

Just the intensity of life itself.

How much are you open to experiencing that intensity?

That's what meditating and your mortality does.

It increases your openness to that ever-present intensity that's all around us.

Anyway, with PolicyGenius, you can find life insurance policies that start at just $17 per month for $500,000 of coverage.
