In this episode we talk about a nasty disease, it's called discouragement. It’s universal and attacks even those of us with naturally upbeat personalities. Discouragement ruins relationships, it ruins businesses, it ruins culture, it ruins progress, it makes parenting more difficult, it serves absolutely no good.
