Because I travel frequently, I download a lot of content. Most of the content I keep on my smartphone is video content from YouTube , which I treat as audio content. When I am traveling, I almost always have my headphones on, so I can block out the noise and listen to something useful. YouTube (really Google) carefully monitors what you watch and updates its algorithm to bring you more of what you watch, or in my case, more of what I listen to.

In boxing, the aggressor is on their front foot, driving the action. Even though boxing is different from many other sports, being on your front foot indicates you are on offense. The opposite of being on your front foot is, naturally, being on your back foot. To fight from your back foot means you are moving away from your opponent as a way to create space, the strategy of a counter-puncher.

Over time, you can be lulled into expecting less from the people you lead. The result of low expectations is not reaching your full potential and not helping others achieve theirs.
