Josh, Ali, and Cody talk about Monday's interview with Emily Flippen from the Motley Fool. The discussion includes the importance of showing up, the value and cost of taking risks, how to be open to when things go wrong, and goal-setting. They also discuss the balance between procrastination, lack of knowledge, and fear of failure and more.\nKey Takeaways:\n- Take risks, seek opportunities, and work hard.\n- Half of life is just showing up - so show up, get started, and do it every day.\n- Seek out opportunity and don't be afraid to take chances. Every opportunity is a chance to succeed!\n- Reach out to people to learn about their lives and what they're doing.\n- Going slow is a LOT better than not moving at all.\n- If there are things you DON'T currently know about, figure out a way to teach yourself. Don't let a lack of knowledge hold you back.\n- Once you know, act. Knowledge and action build off of each other.
