That figure is three times what it was ten years ago. It is a vastly growing market. And on an average of at least three continents, people are consuming 35 hours of television per week. Most of our stories are influenced by Hollywood. Is it fair to say that you're taking a more rounded approach and really investigating the person who is making a decision?17:23Yes. And again, it's not to say anything negative about what anyone else is doing. I think resilience is a broader topic and broader goal, and so it requires some broader thinking, whereas mine is more focused on a specific goal. I was delighted to learn that the overlap of examining strengths is also helpful to think about your resilience.What do you mean by the significance of the first?25:39The significance of the first is the tipping point for a cascade of momentum, actions, and other decisions. The first is saying yes to yourself and investing in yourself. Then, making a move, an action decision, and an action toward what you want.KEY QUOTES:10:21-10:28“I like to encourage people to analyze their success stories, then nurture their subconscious with those kinds of messages.”17:36-17:35“Resilience has a broader topic, and broader goal, and so requires maybe some broader thinking, whereas mine is more focused on a specific goal.”22:49-22:56“But either way, there's powerful information in examining flaws and making sure that we're observing the flaws and not judging them.” RESOURCES MENTIONED ON THE PODCAST:●      Book: The Hollywood Approach by Kristina Paider CONNECT WITH KRISTINAWebsite | LinkedIn (For more resources, at no cost, visit connect.stepstoadvance.com) Also, check out the video at https://www.youtube.com/c/ADVANCEwithMikeAcker
