Kevin Sinnott - “Coffee is a warm drink that fosters friendship and tastes great. What more is there to life?”
Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Support the show ➡ Buy me a coffee Today’s quote comes from Kevin Sinnott:“Coffee is a warm drink that fosters friendship and tastes great. What more is there to life?”Kevin Sinnott is an American coffee expert and author, best known for his work helping people better understand, appreciate and enjoy coffee.And while this quote is obviously about coffee, I think there's something much bigger hiding inside it.Because coffee isn't really just about coffee.It's about what happens around the coffee.It's the conversation you have with a friend.It's catching up with someone you haven't seen in months.It's sitting across the table from someone you love.It's the coffee you share with a colleague before starting the workday.Or maybe it's that quiet cup you enjoy by yourself while you listen to something that makes you think.Coffee has this remarkable ability to create a little space for connection.And I think that's what makes this quote particularly relevant to the Daily Quote.Because every morning, I get to share a few minutes with people I may never actually meet.You might be listening while you're drinking your morning coffee.Maybe you're driving to work.Walking the dog.Making breakfast.Or simply taking a few minutes for yourself.And although we're separated by a screen, a speaker or a pair of headphones, there's still a little connection happening.I'm sharing an idea with you.And you're giving me a few minutes of your day.That's a pretty cool exchange.And it reminds me of something I believe about creating content:Value doesn't always have to be measured in dollars.If an episode gives you something: a new perspective, a little encouragement, a moment of inspiration, or simply a few minutes of positive company, then hopefully it has added some value to your day.And if it does, there's a simple way you can return that value.You can share the episode with a friend.You can leave me five star review in your podcast app.You can leave me a comment.All of these things are valuable to me.And since today’s episode is all about coffee I wanted to let you know there's a Buy Me a Coffee link in the show notes.You certainly don't have to use it. There's no obligation.But if you've been enjoying the Daily Quote and you'd like to support the show, you can literally buy me a coffee. I love coffee and I even did a whole episode on how awesome coffee is in the great news podcast.Buying me a coffee is a small way of saying, “I appreciate what you're creating. Keep going.”And that kind of support helps me continue creating these little moments of positivity every day.So here’s the question:When was the last time you sat down with a friend and had a cup of coffee? Maybe today is a good day to get together and share…Good coffee.Good conversation.Good ideas.So the next time you sit down with a cup of coffee, take a moment to appreciate what it represents.Connection.Friendship.Conversation.And maybe, just maybe, a little inspiration.Support the show ➡ Buy me a coffee That’s going to do it for today.

Jeremy Bentham - “Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet.”
Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Support the show ➡ Buy me a coffee Today’s quote is attributed to Jeremy Bentham. He lived from 1748 to 1832 and was an English philosopher, jurist and social reformer best known as one of the founders of utilitarianism which is the ethical philosophy centered on maximizing happiness and minimizing suffering.Jeremy Bentham once said,“Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet.”This quote will probably hit home for many of us.There is nothing wrong with having ambition. Goals and objectives can keep us on track for what we truly want out of life. Reaching for the stars is a good thing in that context.The warning in this quote is that if we become so focused on distant goals we will stop noticing the good things we already have in our lives.The flowers at our feet are your family, friends, health, nature and the ability to stay present enough to enjoy the ordinary things. Of course the flowers can literally be flowers and if so… don’t forget to get a good wiff.The danger of focusing too much on the stars is that you may end up saying “I will take the time to enjoy life when I get there”. When I reach the next milestone or hit my big home run. But if you do that you may neglect what you already have and the price of reaching the stars may be too high, if you ever do reach them.So here’s the question:What are the “flowers at your feet” that you may be overlooking because you are so focused on reaching the stars?Remember: You can still reach for the stars as long as you notice the flowers and care for them in the process. In other words, don’t trample the flowers in pursuit of the stars.That’s going to do it for today. I’m Andrew McGivern signing off for now, but I’ll be back… tomorrow!

Rory McGivern - “He who smells the rose… gets a good wiff”
Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Support the show ➡ Buy me a coffee Today’s quote is a little different. Usually, I feature famous quotes from notable people. Einstein, Tony Robbins, Zig Zigglar, Helen Keler, etc.The only exception so far has been the quote from my friend Frank Cheung who said “It’s like a metaphor for life, every man stands alone”. I love that quote.Well today I’ve got another quote from someone I know personally. My brother, Rory McGivern.Rory is a business man, family guy and of course a huge Def Leppard fan.Today’s quote comes from many years ago when were essential still kids. I was reading a book (maybe a Tony Robbins book) and I read out a cool quote I found in the book.Rory said quotes are stupid. I said they are NOT. And he said they are just made up and anyone could make a quote. So I said ok give me a quote then.And Rory McGivern said….“He who smells the rose… gets a good wiff”Wow… MIND BLOWN !!!Rory may have said this off the top of his head as a joke. And even as way to mock the creation of quotes. But I believe he was tapping into Jung’s collective unconscious in that moment and he pulled out a piece of intellectual gold.“He who smells the rose, gets a good wiff”What Rory is actually saying here is that you have to take action.If you want a good wiff you have to get off your butt, find your rose and smell it.We all know people that sit around waiting for their big break.They are sitting on the couch saying maybe someday I’ll get a good wiff?They sit and wait and hope that the wind will blow just right and the smell of the rose will come right up to their lazy nostrils.What Rory is saying is don’t wait around for the wind. Because the wind may never come.Get off the couch and go get your good wiff.Even a dog knows that they have to take action to get a good wiff. My dog, Pepper, doesn’t wait around for a good wiff to appear right in front of her nose. She seeks it out and gets her nose right in there.And a dog has a sense of smell 10 000 to 100 0000 times more sensitive than humans. And they still don’t wait around for the wind to bring them a good wiff… Pepper pulls like crazy to get her nose as close as possible and she gets a good wiff.Hopefully your “good wiff” is different from Pepper’s.Maybe it is a promotion at your job.Maybe your “good wiff” is improved personal fitness.Maybe it is starting podcast. Or launching a new business.Whatever your “good wiff” is you can’t get it if you don’t smell the rose.He who smells the rose, gets a good wiff.So here’s the question:Whatever a “good wiff” means to you… what could you do right now to move you towards the rose. Because if you don’t have the rose you won’t get a good wiff.Today’s episode is 100% human genera

Roy H. Williams - “It’s hard to read the label when you’re inside the bottle.”
Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Support the show ➡ Buy me a coffee Today’s quote has been popularized by Pat Flynn, the founder of Smart Passive Income and Deep Pocket Monster ( a pokemon channel ). Pat Flynn is a proponent of using masterminds and mentors and getting an outside perspective and this is the context he uses for today’s quote.The originator of the quote is Roy H. Williams, a best-selling author, marketing consultant and copywriter best known as the “Wizard of Ads” and for his long running Monday Morning Memo column and podcast.Roy H. Williams once said,“It’s hard to read the label when you’re inside the bottle.”This quote rings true on many levels…Roy Williams was referring to the blind spot founders and insiders have when crafting messaging and marketing material for their company. Being too close to the product makes you blind to what customers are actually looking for.When you are immersed in something you can see all the details and you’ve experienced the history of the project and the associated emotions. And your expertise can actually make the problem worse.You know your product inside out and your customer doesn’t.You know the industry jargon and your customer doesn’t.You know why something makes sense about your product and your customer has no idea!Sometimes you need to step outside the bottle in order to see your product from your customers point of view. And when you do that you can speak their language and at their level of knowledge.Both Pat Flynn and Roy H. Williams advise getting the help of someone on the outside.A mentor, a coach, a trusted friend, a business associate and even a customer.Sometimes a simple conversation with an outsider can help you to see something that you didn’t notice even though you’ve been staring at it for months.And this is true for any area of your life. Your bottle could be your career, your relationships, your habits, beliefs, identity, your financial situation. Or maybe your ability to connect with your audience if your a content creator.Have you ever noticed how easy it is to spot something your friend, spouse, coworker or business partner should be doing differently. But somehow they can’t see their own situation clearly? That is because you are outside their bottle!So here’s the question:What is something in your life that you might be too close to and you can’t see things clearly because you are inside the bottle? And who could you trust on the outside to help you read the label?Because sometimes a little outside help is all you need.That’s going to do it for today.

Karl A. Menninger - “Love cures people. Both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.”
Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Support the show ➡ Buy me a coffee Today’s quote is all about LOVE.There are so many quotes in the quotasphere about love but today we are getting one from Karl A. Menninger. He lived from 1893 to 1990 and was an American psychiatrist and an influential figure in 20th Century American psychiatry. In his practice he emphasized compassion, human connection and the importance of treating people as whole human beings.Karl A. Menninger once said…“Love cures people. Both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.”This quote comes from his 1973 book Sparks, with the wording “Love cures people, the ones who receive it and the ones who give it, too.”I think most people think of love as something that benefits those who receive it. But Menninger flips this on its head and says the that giving love can be healing for the giver too.Helping someone, encouraging them, caring for them and being there for them can give your life meaning and purpose.Human Beings were not meant to live in isolation. And studies show that longevity is tied to social connection. The more connected you are to other people the longer you are likely to live.This is probably because genuine relationships can give you a sense of belonging, security and a feeling that you matter. And when we make others feel this way we often feel it ourselves.The quote says love cures people but you can’t necessarily love an illness away. It isn’t a substitute for medicine, therapy and professional help. But it can be a powerful adjunct that improves your ability to cope and recover.And I think the important thing to remember about the word “love” is that it is a verb… an action word. You can put love into action!How?Don’t underestimate small acts because they can have disproportionate positive effects.Love isn’t a finite resource that gets used up when you give it away. Sometimes the more you give the more you get.So here’s the question:Who in your life might need a little more love today? And how might giving it help both of you?This episode was written and recorded by a human, Andrew McGivern. That’s me! AI was used to verify quote attribution and create some talking points. The music in this episode is AI Generated.That’s going to do it for today. I’m Andrew McGivern signing off for now, but I’ll be back… tomorrow!

“A great flame follows a little spark.”
Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Support the show Buy me a coffee Today’s quote comes from the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri, who once said: “A great flame follows a little spark.” Dante Alighieri was a 13th- and 14th-century Italian poet, philosopher and political thinker, best known for The Divine Comedy, one of the most influential works in the history of Western literature. This particular line comes from Paradiso, the third part of The Divine Comedy. In the original Italian, Dante wrote, “Poca favilla gran fiamma seconda.” He was talking about his own poetic work and expressing the hope that his small effort might inspire something greater in those who came after him. And I think there's a beautiful idea in that. A spark doesn't look like much. It's tiny. It lasts for only a moment. You could easily overlook it. But give that spark the right conditions, some fuel, some oxygen, a little attention and it can become a flame .And the same thing happens with ideas. A business can begin with a simple idea . A relationship can begin with a conversation .A movement can begin with one person deciding to speak up .A book can begin with a single sentence. A podcast can begin with one episode . And a completely different life can begin with one small decision. We often make the mistake of judging an idea by its size at the beginning. But that's not how potential works. A tiny spark doesn't tell you how large the eventual fire might become. So if you've got an idea that you've been dismissing because it seems too small, don't underestimate it. You don't necessarily need to know exactly where it's going to lead. You just need to protect the spark long enough to find out. And there's another beautiful part of Dante's original meaning. He wasn't simply hoping to create something great himself. He hoped his work would inspire something greater in others. That's a powerful idea. Maybe our job isn't always to create the biggest flame. Maybe sometimes our job is simply to light a spark that someone else carries forward. So here's the question: What small spark do you have in your life right now that might become something much bigger if you gave it a little more attention?Don't dismiss it because it's small.Every great flame starts somewhere.

Albert Camus - “One recognizes one’s own course by discovering the paths that stray from it.”
Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Support the show ➡ Buy me a coffee Today’s quote is from Albert Camus.Albert Camus lived from 1913 to 1960. He was a French-Algerian philosopher, novelist, journalist and playwright. He is known for exploring meaning, freedom, choice and the human struggle to find a purpose in an uncertain world. His work includes The Stranger, The Plague, and The Myth of Sisyphus. He was one of the youngest ever recipients of the Nobel Prize in Literature when he was awarded it in 1957.Albert Camus once said,“One recognizes one’s own course by discovering the paths that stray from it.”This quote is verified and comes from his book The Myth of Sisyphus (1942) where he talks about creation, wandering and discovering your calling through life experience.This is an interesting idea. You don’t always know your path in advance.We all know people who know exactly what they want to be when they grow up. And sometimes they knew from the beginning. But it isn’t always possible. If you always wanted to be an elite sports star then you may need to course correct when you realize you aren’t playing at that level.And your course can become clearer by trying many different things and discovering what isn’t a good fit. Sometimes discovering what you want happens by discovering what you don’t want. A process of elimination.This doesn’t mean you failed. A wrong choice provides you with valuable information. You learn the types of work that you really don’t enjoy. You discover where your talents can be best applied. The path becomes clearer only through trial and error.When your driving your car using GPS and you make a wrong turn the system will recalibrate and point you on an alternate route. The same is true with experience and finding your calling. Just let your “system” recalibrate and listen to where it is leading you. You wouldn’t stay on the wrong course in your car so don’t do it with your life.You can be uncertain about your destination while still moving forward. You can make useful progress if you keep moving and pay attention to what you learn.Life is like one of those choose your own adventure books. The right path isn’t your only “correct path”. You may have multiple correct paths you could follow. The paths only become visible when you walk on them.Think about your own history. What have you tried that clearly was not for you? What did you walk away from? What roadblocks or failures redirected you? And did a pattern emerge?So here’s the question:When you make a wrong turn are you frustrated because you are lost? Or are you simply going through a process of finding your right course?You will continue to move forward as long as you take action and adjust your course. The worst thing you can do is to sit still in a situation you don’t like due to fear of the unknown or a belief that maybe this is the best you can get.I’ve done this before and it only gets better when you move on.This podcast was recorded in my secret underground layer.

Joseph Jaworski - “We do not describe the world we see; we see the world we can describe.”
Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Support the show ➡ Buy me a coffee Today’s quote is from Joseph Jaworski’s 1996 book Syncronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership where he wrote an almost identical version.Joseph Jaworski once said,“We do not describe the world we see; we see the world we can describe.”This quote is profound on so many levels.We are bombarded with constant stimulus every single day. We don’t actually “see” everything. We only see a small fraction of what we are exposed to.It would be impossible for our brains to notice and process everything so what we actually “see” is a filtered version of reality. We only see what is relevant to us. This mechanism is called the reticular activating system. Have you ever bought a new car and suddenly you see that make and model EVERYWHERE. They were there all along but you couldn’t see them because it wasn’t important to you. And it was filtered out into the background.And think about how two people can describe the same event and come up with radically different interpretations. I know one religious person that “sees” everything in terms of conflict between angels and demons. They “understand” their religious doctrine and describe the world through that understanding. And I know another person who analyzes everything strictly based on science and empirical evidence. He sees a different world entirely with no room at all for spirituality or religious thought. I am somewhere in between.The event was the same but the meaning is different for each person.And in societies with languages that lack a word for a concept it is difficult for them to comprehend the concept because they don’t have a way to describe it. The more we expand our vocabulary the more our world expands.Our experiences, beliefs, expectations and assumptions act like a filtration system that only allows us to see a version of the world that we can describe based on our programming.And the key word here is “programming”.If we are programmed by these filtering mechanisms it implies that we can reprogram ourselves to see more… or see things differently.And when we accept that concept then we can take back control because the more concepts we understand the more opportunities we have to “see” more of the world.We can reframe our problems into challenges or opportunities.We can reprogram our labels we’ve assigned ourselves because maybe our biggest limitation is not what we are capable of doing but the way we have learned to describe what we are capable of doing.And finally, I’d like to touch on the negativity we are constantly exposed to. A doom and gloom news feed can manufacture a belief that “everything is getting worse” But if you intentionally expose yourself to great news... then you begin to see a better world. Why, because now you can describe it.So here is the question:What aspect of your life is holding you back because you are not able see a better way? What can you do today to help you understand the solution? Because if you can describe it, you can see it.This podcast was recorded in my secret underground layer.
