## Resource

Some stories are worth celebrating... and others are a good reminder that success isn't always guaranteed. Today, we're talking about Disney's live-action Moana opening weekend, why Olive Garden fans are setting reminders for one of the most popular restaurant promotions of the year, and the inspiring reason Sir Anthony Hopkins is proving it's never too late to chase a dream at 88 years old. Plus, Sara shares a new show she's watching that has been unexpectedly motivating, and Len reveals the clever Costco strategy that keeps shoppers coming back for more. If you're enjoying the podcast, we'd love for you to follow the show and leave a review... it helps more people find a little positivity each morning!
