Um, I have a question for you here.

So I like, I'm a hundred percent willing to talk about politics.

Right.

Cause I,

And there's a whole bunch of reasons for that.

I'd say the two biggest are one, politics directly impact my financial and lifestyle, so I want to have conversations and understand who's around me and where they are.

We don't have to get into major debates, but I at least want to understand where your head is at.

And the second is the psychology of how political messages are spread

relates so closely to how business messages and movements are spread.

And it's so incredibly important to understand.

And here's where my question comes in.

And there's a few other reasons as well, but here's where my question comes in.

So many people that I do business with or that I work with, not my close circle, because obviously they wouldn't be in your inner circle of people if you weren't willing to have these depths of conversations, but so many people I bump into

They're afraid to talk about politics or mix politics in any way with business for a whole myriad of fears.

And I can't get past that anymore.

I feel like the reason we're here today is because, I'll give you an example.

I was in a mastermind, 60 people in the room, and the topic of politics came up.

And I stood up and I said,

I think it is cowardice to play this, I don't talk about politics thing in business.

I think that's pure cowardice.
