in this episode our host XO discusses What is an Emergency Fund?
The show kicks off with 2 insightful Quotes, the first quote is about "Not resisting pain, allow it to be there..." When we are in pain the first thing we want is for the pain to go away but why don't we ever observe or analyze why we're in pain or embrace the pain that we're in. It's just trying to help us grow and teach us something but we don't ever get the chance to learn the lesson until it's over.
The 2nd Quote is discusses how we should talk more about what we're passionate about when around our friends & family instead of keeping it inside because we think what we're passionate about isn't worth hearing, but what we're passionate about can lead to a world of opportunities.
