Today's episode is a follow up to Curt's recent interview with Jordan Gross, author of "What Happens in Tomorrow World?"

In today's solo episode, Curt looks at the "wrong" way to deal with uncertainty — which is, spreading fear, anxiety and division.

He also discusses the importance of cultivating yourself, as a strong society is made up of strong individuals, not the other way around.

• How to embrace uncertainty in all parts of life
• Why no single response to uncertainty works for every situation
• How various personality types typically respond differently to uncertainty
• Why it's crucial to resist responding negatively to uncertainty
• Why it's important to take action, no matter how uncertain you feel

"Don't tell your dreams to small-minded people."

That quote from Steve Harvey is so spot-on and the reason that so many people get infected with what I call the "Scarcity Virus."

Those people who tell us to "play it safe" or "be practical" at all costs.

Those people who, when they see others taste success, react with something like, "must be nice" or "some people just have too much money."

When these "pimps" are people in our family or network of friends or colleagues, it's easy to get infected with their scarcity virus, succumbing to the doubt these people cast on our dreams, goals, and aspirations.

It's important to remember that how the Scarcity Pimps react says so much more about their mindset than about your dreams.

We hear a lot about "virtue signaling" in our society. In this episode, Curt discusses the dangers of "busy signaling."

Busy is a choice. There are no awards for "busy". And nobody is impressed by you showcasing how busy you are via your "busy signaling."
