If you've already got an Apple TV, you may want to get two. I've began the habit of taking my Apple TV while I travel and it's changed the game for me. Take a listen, and make sure you put others on game as well.

I've noticed a trend with extremely rich and "successful" people. They think big; meaning they have incredible vision. But they match this "dreaming" quality with extreme and cutting practicality...an ability to see what's true that is superior to the average person. Most people ignore what's true, because what is true causes pain and confusion. In John Rockefeller's book, he explains why it's so crucial that you always pay attention and see things as they are.
