Situational Awareness is about knowing what’s going on around you. It’s about recognizing any potential threats. It’s about recognizing the mood, attitudes, and behaviors of those closest to you and complete strangers.
It seems like everywhere I look I see men and women in these zombie-like trances starring at these little electronic devices we call our phones. I see people driving who are completely oblivious to anything going on around them, and I see an inability for people to connect with other people who are literally sitting right next to them.
So, let’s talk about this today. Let’s talk about situation awareness.

I used to believe that I wasn't a morning person. And, for a long time, I let it effect the way I approached my day. I'd hit the snooze, roll out of bed with zero energy, and give myself just enough time to make it into work. And, of course, my morning routine - if you could call it that - impacted the rest of my day.
My guest, the one and only Hal Elrod, joins me to talk about how you can become a morning person and how you can craft and execute a morning routine that will literally transform your entire life.
