Now I hope you're ready. 8 01:00:20,958 --> 01:00:22,166 You have all your candy bought. 9 01:00:22,500 --> 01:00:23,083 Let me ask you this. 10 01:00:23,500 --> 01:00:24,791 Did you go with fun size or did you go 11 01:00:24,791 --> 01:00:25,625 with king size candy? 12 01:00:26,583 --> 01:00:29,333 Well today is National Mentoring Day and 13 01:00:29,333 --> 01:00:30,458 National Black Cat Day. 14 01:00:30,833 --> 01:00:31,583 It's a perfect combo. 15 01:00:31,958 --> 01:00:33,416 Wisdom meets superstition. 16 01:00:34,041 --> 01:00:36,583 Now whether you're the mentor or the 17 01:00:36,583 --> 01:00:38,250 learner, remember luck 18 01:00:38,250 --> 01:00:40,291 favors the prepared and the 19 01:00:40,291 --> 01:00:40,708 persistent. 20 01:00:41,333 --> 01:00:43,041 Well our quote today is in the same 21 01:00:43,041 --> 01:00:44,916 school of thought by one of 22 01:00:44,916 --> 01:00:46,250 my favorite singer songwriters, 23 01:00:46,708 --> 01:00:48,958 Phil Collins, who once said quote, "In 24 01:00:48,958 --> 01:00:50,708 learning you will teach and 25 01:00:50,708 --> 01:00:52,250 in teaching you will learn." 26 01:00:53,458 --> 01:00:55,875 Now that's the magic of connection. 27 01:00:56,541 --> 01:00:58,625 Learning and mentorship goes both ways, 28 01:00:59,041 --> 01:01:00,833 feeding growth on both sides. 29 01:01:01,500 --> 01:01:02,083 Synergy people. 30 01:01:02,916 --> 01:01:03,916 Well today's news facts and 31 01:01:03,916 --> 01:01:06,333 birthdays are for October 27th. 32 01:01:06,333 --> 01:01:08,208 Starting back in 1962, that's 33 01:01:08,208 --> 01:01:10,125 when Black Saturday happened. 34 01:01:10,125 --> 01:01:12,083 During the Cuban Missile Crisis, an 35 01:01:12,083 --> 01:01:13,250 American spy plane, it 36 01:01:13,250 --> 01:01:15,125 was shot down over Cuba and 37 01:01:15,125 --> 01:01:17,041 the Navy drops warning depth 38 01:01:17,041 --> 01:01:18,750 charges on Soviet submarines. 39 01:01:19,625 --> 01:01:21,916 Then moving up to 1982, that's when China 40 01:01:21,916 --> 01:01:24,625 announced its population had reached over 41 01:01:24,708 --> 01:01:26,458 one billion people. 42 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,500 Today it's estimated that their 43 01:01:28,500 --> 01:01:29,791 population is just 44 01:01:29,791 --> 01:01:31,916 over 1.4 billion people. 45 01:01:32,416 --> 01:01:34,625 Alright moving up to 1982, that's when 46 01:01:34,625 --> 01:01:36,125 the first CD player 47 01:01:36,125 --> 01:01:37,541 was released in Japan. 48 01:01:38,208 --> 01:01:39,291 Now if you got a look at this one on 49 01:01:39,291 --> 01:01:40,750 YouTube, this is not the 50 01:01:40,750 --> 01:01:41,500 one that you had in your car. 51 01:01:41,500 --> 01:01:43,083 It would take us a couple 52 01:01:43,083 --> 01:01:44,250 more years to get to that. 53 01:01:44,791 --> 01:01:48,416 Well lastly on this date in 1984, the 54 01:01:48,416 --> 01:01:49,708 movie The Terminator 55 01:01:49,708 --> 01:01:51,791 debuted over the weekend and 56 01:01:51,958 --> 01:01:52,833 we've been quoting 57 01:01:52,833 --> 01:01:55,166 "I'll be back ever since." 58 01:01:55,583 --> 01:01:57,000 Alright well happy birthday to you. 59 01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:57,916 Today is your birthday. 60 01:01:58,375 --> 01:01:59,708 You share a birthday with TV 61 01:01:59,708 --> 01:02:01,291 personality Kelly Osbourne. 62 01:02:01,291 --> 01:02:02,291 She's 40 today. 63 01:02:02,916 --> 01:02:05,083 Front man of Duran Duran, Simon Le Bon. 64 01:02:05,291 --> 01:02:06,583 He's 66 today. 65 01:02:07,166 --> 01:02:09,291 Front man of the Stone Temple Pilots, the 66 01:02:09,291 --> 01:02:10,375 late Scott Weiland 67 01:02:10,375 --> 01:02:11,625 was born on this date in 68 01:02:11,625 --> 01:02:12,458 1967. 69 01:02:13,208 --> 01:02:14,750 He would have been just 58. 70 01:02:15,750 --> 01:02:17,708 Well the number one song on this date in 71 01:02:17,708 --> 01:02:20,291 1988 was "A Groovy Kind 72 01:02:20,291 --> 01:02:21,291 of Love" by Phil Collins. 73 01:02:21,291 --> 01:02:24,083 Now this is a tender, incredible ballad 74 01:02:24,083 --> 01:02:25,250 from the movie Buster, 75 01:02:25,458 --> 01:02:26,166 which we've already talked 76 01:02:26,166 --> 01:02:26,375 about. 77 01:02:26,375 --> 01:02:27,750 Nobody's seen the movie but it had some 78 01:02:27,750 --> 01:02:29,250 great songs on the soundtrack. 79 01:02:29,708 --> 01:02:31,125 Now the song "A Groovy Kind of Love" 80 01:02:31,125 --> 01:02:33,166 became one of Phil's biggest hits. 81 01:02:33,625 --> 01:02:35,791 It's a simple, heartfelt love song that 82 01:02:35,791 --> 01:02:37,500 showcased Phil's softer 83 01:02:37,500 --> 01:02:39,458 side and I know it definitely 84 01:02:39,541 --> 01:02:41,625 made some love tape mixes at the time. 85 01:02:42,166 --> 01:02:44,708 Okay, well turning to our groovy book 86 01:02:44,708 --> 01:02:46,166 review, we are reading 87 01:02:46,166 --> 01:02:48,000 Mel Robbins' "The Let Them 88 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:48,291 Theory." 89 01:02:48,916 --> 01:02:50,833 Today we're in the sub-chapter "Because I 90 01:02:50,833 --> 01:02:52,791 was afraid of what people would think." 91 01:02:53,458 --> 01:02:54,625 Well that says a lot, 92 01:02:54,625 --> 01:02:55,833 just right there, right? 93 01:02:55,833 --> 01:02:57,041 Are we mature enough to 94 01:02:57,041 --> 01:02:58,833 admit that and then move past it? 95 01:02:59,083 --> 01:03:00,666 Well this chapter hits home. 96 01:03:01,083 --> 01:03:03,375 Robbins writes quote "Most of what we 97 01:03:03,375 --> 01:03:05,791 avoid isn't danger, it's disapproval." 98 01:03:06,250 --> 01:03:06,583 End quote. 99 01:03:07,166 --> 01:03:09,458 And she unpacks how fear of judgment 100 01:03:09,458 --> 01:03:11,500 quietly dictates choices 101 01:03:11,500 --> 01:03:13,416 in our careers and in our 102 01:03:13,416 --> 01:03:14,041 confidence. 103 01:03:14,750 --> 01:03:17,041 She shares how learning to let them think 104 01:03:17,041 --> 01:03:18,291 whatever they will is 105 01:03:18,291 --> 01:03:19,625 the gateway to peace. 106 01:03:20,083 --> 01:03:22,125 Quote "When you're no longer held hostage 107 01:03:22,125 --> 01:03:25,041 by opinion, you become unstoppable." 108 01:03:25,458 --> 01:03:25,875 End quote. 109 01:03:26,250 --> 01:03:27,500 Now through stories of her own 110 01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:29,375 insecurities and audience 111 01:03:29,375 --> 01:03:31,625 experiences, Robbins shows that 112 01:03:31,625 --> 01:03:32,875 confidence isn't about 113 01:03:32,875 --> 01:03:35,166 loudness, it's about alignment. 114 01:03:35,666 --> 01:03:38,916 You stop editing your truth for applause 115 01:03:38,916 --> 01:03:41,208 and you start living it, right? 116 01:03:41,291 --> 01:03:43,291 Your takeaway here is every "what will 117 01:03:43,291 --> 01:03:45,375 they think" moment is a 118 01:03:45,375 --> 01:03:46,750 growth opportunity for 119 01:03:46,750 --> 01:03:47,041 you. 120 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,375 Fear of judgment fades when you value 121 01:03:50,375 --> 01:03:53,333 authenticity to yourself more than 122 01:03:53,333 --> 01:03:54,625 approval from others. 123 01:03:55,125 --> 01:03:57,291 All right, here is your Monday takeaway. 124 01:03:57,958 --> 01:04:00,875 The loudest critics are often imaginary. 125 01:04:01,666 --> 01:04:02,833 Live anyway. 126 01:04:03,666 --> 01:04:06,291 So as you mentor or learn today, remember 127 01:04:06,291 --> 01:04:07,916 your real superpower is 128 01:04:07,916 --> 01:04:09,666 staying true and authentic. 129 01:04:10,291 --> 01:04:12,083 All right, thanks for tuning into Morning 130 01:04:12,083 --> 01:04:13,083 Serial this morning. 131 01:04:13,083 --> 01:04:14,958 We will
