    Love this episode.  Mr. Austin is amazing and inspiring — and your questions were right on the money.  I could listen to you guys talk for another hour.  Love the way he referenced the Nike tagline, too.

    BUT . . . (there’s always a “but,” isn’t there?) . . . my man, you neglected to say, “Go pet a bunny” in this episode.  It’s just not the same without that line!  The show’s not over until David says to go pet a bunny!  

    I don’t know what to do — now I need closure.  ;-)

    Thanks for this — and all your fine work!

       Haha, Steve…should I bring it back? I haven’t been using it close episodes lately. Do you miss the bunny? :)
