You can endure any unpleasant, irritating assault or event. . . as long as you can still step back see your reaction to it. Dan and Dan Jr. discuss an event that happened to Nancy, the difference between conscience and intuition, and the late "first dog," Champ.

Here’s why you haven’t been able to use willpower to break a bad habit. Plus, Dan and Dan Jr. discuss "serial entrepreneurs" and returning to a childlike state of existence.

When we stop injecting ambitious will into our activities, what unfolds becomes exactly as God has planned for us. Even what may at times seems to be a mistake . . . ends up being right anyway. Dan and Dan Jr. discuss being willful versus following God's will, and Dan Jr. recalls the temptation towards ambition and willfulness felt in college.
