Your Best Effort
Review your most recent content. Did you give it all you have? Was it your best effort? Were you all in? 100%?
Be honest. Did you phone it in today? Did you do the minimum? Or did you leave everything on the field? You can tell when someone is giving 60%. Your audience can tell too. If you’re not willing to go all-in, why should they care?
Besides the coaching tip of the day my daily prep also includes headlines making the news that day, essential pop culture updates, a topic of the day and a situation to use as phone topics, an impossible question, ten trivia questions, three hot takes, celebrity birthdays, horoscopes, today in history and today in music history. All curated with care and powered by Radio Content Pro.

The Situation
I got my girlfriend’s name tattooed on my chest for our one year anniversary, which happened to be just before Christmas.
My mistake was building up the gift, then taking off my shirt and showing her. She thought it was all she was getting, and got really quiet. I did get her other presents but this was something special to show how much I loved her.
When I showed it to her I could tell something was wrong. She didn’t say much. then she made up an excuse and said she had to get to work.
Five hours later she texted me and said she wanted to break up. She said we were moving too fast…
