Kent kicks things off with the saying of the day: "If you think about what you're going to do in case you lose, you have lost." 🏆 From the streets of Minneapolis to the halls of Congress, Kent explores why compliance with authority can mean the difference between life and death—and why arguing with a police officer is a losing game. "If a policeman asks you to do something, comply," Kent urges. "The number one thing is when a policeman stops you, he wants you to go home and he wants to be able to go home." 🚓

Reflect on the surprising drop in American alcohol consumption 🍺, the marketing missteps of major brands, and the power of great coaching to turn underdogs into champions.

Memorable moments abound, from the wisdom of "the moment you think about losing, you've already lost," to the hilarious mishap of AI reporting a policeman turned into a frog 🐸. This episode is a masterclass in storytelling—blending humor, hard truths, and hope.
